HDR, or High Dynamic Range, is a photography technique that enhances photos, especially in high-contrast situations, by combining multiple exposures to capture more detail in both bright and dark areas[1][4][6][9]. Smart HDR is an advanced version of this technology, leveraging improved camera sensors, processing power, AI, and computational photography to produce better-lit photos with a wider dynamic range[1][8].
Smart HDR 4, introduced with the iPhone 13, improves color, contrast, and lighting for each subject, even in group photos[2]. It utilizes panoptic segmentation, predicting attributes for each pixel to unify scene and subject-level understanding, enhancing efficiency[2]. The result is more detailed and vivid pictures with richer colors, better lighting, improved contrast, and a more realistic dynamic range[3]. Smart HDR 4 also enhances night mode quality and offers end-to-end HDR video[3].
While the search results mention the iPad and HDR[6], they do not provide specific information about the iPad Pro M3.
