Tone mapping is very much a subjective process. There's no one "HDR" algorithm. At best the camera could convert everything to linear or logarithmic light and save in OpenEXR or something like that.

Tone mapping isn't HDR though. It's mapping HDR to standard dynamic range.

Yes exactly. That's what HDR is.
