Why isn't there an automated HDR bracketing mode?

How to take HDR photos?

I have a Sony DSC-H10. I recently learned why good pictures look so good -- their high dynamic range. Is it possible (and if so, how) for me to take high-dynamic-range photos of scenes, perhaps through some combination of this camera and some…

What's the difference (in practice) between Photoshop's "blend layers" and "merge HDR" features?

I'm trying to learn how to merge several images to fix blown-out backgrounds, but keep things as natural as possible. The HDR merge feature seems very unnatural vs the blend layers looks very reasonable. Are there reasons the latter isn't used more…

Would a standard luminosity (max. 200 cd) HDR TV make sense?

Answers to this question say that HDR TVs are capable of displaying a "higher bit depth", a "wider gamut". However, I see that most (all ?) HDR TVs are also capable of displaying high brightness (1000 cd+). Is it a necessity for the viewer to see…

I've recently bought a Canon 200D which has an integrated HDR mode and unfortunately it is quite disappointing: you cannot tune it in any way and the results can only be saved to a JPEG. I've been trying to take sequences manually by switching to TV…
