HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. How does it work? When you take a photo it actually takes three: an overexposed photo, an underexposed photo, and one somewhere in the middle of the scale. It then seamlessly blends the three, removing the high and low tones in the process. The result? A photo with more depth of field and color than your standard photo might have had.

"HDR is great for street style shots when the sun is behind you," says photographer Kevin Lu. "The new sensor enables beautiful HDR photos with great dynamic range, automatically giving you better-looking photos, videos and selfies in outdoor lighting conditions."
