Why does the Xiaomi 15 lag when taking portrait photos with HDR enabled?

Question

Accepted Answer

When taking portrait photos with HDR enabled on the Xiaomi 15, you can experience some lag due to the image processing requirements involved in high dynamic range (HDR) scenarios. HDR enhances the photo by capturing multiple frames at different exposure levels and then fusing them to provide better detail in both bright and dark areas. This process can be computationally intensive, leading to frame drops or delays, especially when the system is processing a high volume of data. While this is normal for HDR photography, we are actively working on optimizing the performance to minimize lag. Please stay updated with OTA software updates for improved results.
