One of the major features that came along with the new iOS 4.1 update for iphone is the HDR Photography feature. HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature helps you take great photos with a wider range of light intensity.  But this feature is not available for the iphone 3GS. Here’s how to get the HDR Feature in iphone 3GS.

Will Strafach has developed a new fix that will help you get HDR Feature in iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. If you need to apply the fix on your iphone, you’ll need to have a jailbroken iphone.

#1) Search for " OpenSHSH " in Cydia and install OpenSHSH .

#3) Now, Add a key with the name "hdr-image-capture” with a boolean value of "true” to the "capabilities” section of this property list. Save the plist.

#4) Replace the original file your iphone with the modified version of the file using SSH.
