Question:

Why does the sky or outside the window appear white when taking pictures in HDR mode on S20 FE?

Answer:

 HDR mode combines multiple images with different exposure levels to improve lighting in backlit situations. However, if there are moving objects during continuous shots, the HDR effect may not apply properly, causing an unnatural appearance and a white background. To fix this issue, try to minimize movement when using HDR mode for better photo quality.
