How to Disable Ultra HDR in Pixel Camera

This guide will show you the steps to disable the Ultra HDR on your Pixel camera. When it comes to smartphone photography, there’s hardly an iota of doubt that the offerings from the Silicon Valley giant boost some of the very best cameras in the business. If we talk about their latest flagships, then they even have an upgraded version of the HDR. Dubbed Ultra HDR, it tends to brighten the lightest parts of images and shows more vibrant colors than the default HDR+.

And now, with the latest camera update this feature is even available for Tensor chipset-supported devices [aka Pixel 6 series and above]. However, it doesn’t seem to be in sync with everyone’s requirements. Some users have reportedly said that this feature tends to brighten up the photo way beyond the acceptable limit and it proves to be quite a challenging task to even view those images at night.

Apart from that, a niche segment of users has also reported that some third-party gallery apps don’t even support this image format. All in all, they wish to disable the Ultra HDR on their Pixel Camera. If you are also in the same boat, then this guide will help you get this job done. Follow along.
