In this regard, one of those features is (or rather was?) Auto HDR. It tends to capture images with different exposures and then overlays the bright areas of the under exposed image on top of the dark areas of the over-exposed image to create an image with an extended range in a gradual manner. However, many users have voiced their concern that this feature disappeared all of a sudden from their camera’s settings menu. So what is the reason behind the missing Auto HDR feature from the camera of the Galaxy S22 series? Well, let’s check it out.
