HDR

parts of three quick shots, taken at dierent exposures (long, normal, and short), are blended

together into a single photo.

Use HDR. (iSight camera) Tap HDR. The ash is temporarily turned o. For best results, keep both

iPod touch and the subject still.

Keep the normal photo in addition to the HDR version. Go to Settings > Photos & Camera >

Keep Normal Photo. Both the normal and HDR versions of the photo appear in Photos. HDR

versions of photos in your Camera Roll are marked with “HDR” in the corner.
