Does the Canon EOS 800D crop images when using in-camera HDR?

When I use the Canon EOS 800D's in-camera HDR mode, the final image appears slightly tighter than a normal shot taken from the same position. Is this expected behavior on the 800D, and does Live View show the same framing you'll get in the HDR result?

Right, well, I should have looked in the manual first, where it does say that the image area is smaller than when captured in normal mode. I might leave the question up, though, as it is a rather odd characteristic and might be useful to know for those intending to use in-camera HDR.
(In the German version, it is on page 102, as a tip marked with a ! -- what I'd love to know is why, as not all cameras do this with HDR.)
Just a quick update: One more thing I've noticed, which is that the preview in LiveView shows the shot with the same crop (at least it looks that way), so the user will likely get roughly the same composition as planned. So, it's not quite as inconvenient in terms of final product, as it seemed at first.

Yes. On the Canon EOS 800D, in-camera HDR uses a slightly smaller image area than normal shooting, so the final HDR image is cropped compared with a standard photo from the same position. This is noted in the camera manual.
It also appears that Live View shows approximately the same cropped framing, so what you see while composing should be close to the final HDR result.
So if your HDR shots look tighter, that is normal behavior for this model rather than a fault with the camera.
