Most cell phones won't do HDR and I'm guessing most that do have the option are applying a filter that simulates the HDR effect, not actually doing a full blown set of exposures and merging them; but I could be wrong. Anyway, it's not a setting in your camera's menu, it's a photographic technique.

With a DSLR like your D3200, HDR is done with multiple exposures, some underexposed, one normal exposure and some over-exposed. For a five exposure HDR you would use, just as an example: (-2), (-1), 0 , (+1), (+2). You would then take all five of those shots and merge them using HDR software.

No, it does not have the built in function or auto-bracketing. You will have to manually bracket exposures, the main reason I upgraded from the D3100 years ago.

The D5300 does have a setting for HDR but it's two exposures taken very quickly automatically by the camera. Depending on the scene it usually takes 3 to 6, or more, to capture a good HDR photo manually.

This is why you will want to use auto bracketing instead of the Jpeg gimmick.
