Do you guys have it enabled or is it better to record video in non-hdr in most cases? I’m going over my settings not sure whether my 15 Pro camera should be set to record 4k video in hdr or sdr

If you have hdr video recording disabled, what’s the reason?

Well, if you try and watch an HDR/Dolby Vision video on a screen which doesn’t support it, it can look odd colour-wise. I do that that problem and always want the best quality. Also, and I’m not sure on this for definite but HDR might take more storage due to the increased colour depth.

i actually did a test and two identically shot video footages in HDR and SDR are about the same size in Mb
