Tips for capturing better photos
To get better captures with the Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while taking your
shots.
Improving focus and sharpness
§
HTC One has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too much. To
change the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the subject you want to focus on.
§
If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.
§
You can set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings, or manually adjust
the sharpness of a photo in Photo Editor.
Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an
image.
Taking well-lit photos
§
HTC One automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears underexposed
or that it appears dark on the Viewfinder, tap a part of the image that is in shadow.
Conversely, tap a well-lit object in the image if the image seems to be overexposed. Focus on
an object with a neutral tone for a balanced exposure. Keep in mind that tapping on another
object may shift the focus from your subject.
§
If you are using the default settings and the photo still appears too dark, switch to Night
scene, but place HTC One on a level surface to keep it steady.
