How-To: Stop the HDR camera mode storing two pictures on your iPhone 4

If your iPhone 4 runs iOS 4.1, you’ve probably already tried out HDR (High Dynamic Range) camera mode, which takes multiple (three) photos to combine them and get a higher-quality result. Heck, you may’ve used some third-party apps for the same purpose even before Apple included this capability in the iOS.

The problem with the HDR mode is that it keeps saving two pictures in the Camera Roll, leaving it up to you to delete one of them later. What I’ve found out is that many users haven’t figured out how to turn off saving of the other (normal) photo and only keep the one made with the HDR magic. It’s not that hard really – in order to do so, do the following:

  1. Start the “Settings” app
  2. Click on “Photos”
  3. Find the “Keep Normal Photo” toggle switch at the bottom and slide it to “Off”

You’re done. Now only one photo will be kept in your Camera Roll, saving you some storage space along the way. 😉
