But when it comes to the opening or playing the screen capture on a TV, the darker or dimer visuals may not be your cup of tea.

How to Fix PS5 Game Captures Looking Too Dark Issue
According to the affected PS5 users, whenever they use HDR mode, the screenshots are appearing darker than usual. It means the HDR (High Dynamic Range) conversion to most of your non-HDR or SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) 4K LED TV offering dull images even though the screenshots are good enough in quality. The same thing applies to the video recording of the PS5 gameplay as well (if HDR turned on).
So, the solution is simple to only go with the non-HDR gameplay and capture the screen on your PS5 & then share/view it on your TV. If in case, your TV has an HDR mode, then captured images with HDR mode on your PS5 shouldn’t be a problem. However, if the problem persists, try disabling the HDR mode on your TV as well.
- All you need to do is to simply turn off the HDR mode on your TV or PS5.
- You should also start using in-game Photo Modes to increase the brightness & color level according to your preference.
- It’s also worth recommending to capture gameplay images and then put them to a photo editing tool like Photoshop to give a nice touch to your screenshots.
