Using HDR

When shooting portraits against a bright background, use HDR, short for High Dynamic Range, to
capture your subjects clearly. HDR brings out the details of both the highlights and shadows, even in
high contrast lighting.

HDR works best when your subject is steady. The camera takes multiple shots at different
exposure levels and combines them into one enhanced photo.

1.

On the Home screen, tap the camera icon to open the Camera app.

2.

Switch to 

Photo

 mode. See 

Choosing a capture mode

 on page 60 for details.

3.

Make sure that 

 or 

 is selected. If not, tap 

 to change it. 

HDR auto

 is also available in Selfie photo mode, and is enabled by default.

4.

Tap 

.

Selfies

Take brilliant selfies anyway you like. The Selfie Photo mode on HTC U Play lets you switch
between the standard photo resolutions and UltraPixel.

Use the default UltraPixel setting in dark-lit situations such as candlelit dinners. Choose from the
other standard resolutions when taking selfies in normal conditions. To find out how to switch
between resolutions, see 

Setting the photo quality and size

 on page 62.

Applying skin touch-ups with Live Makeup

Touch up your skin before taking your selfie. Live Makeup smoothens your skin in real time.

Live Makeup is disabled when auto HDR is on.

1.

On the Home screen, tap the camera icon to open the Camera app.

2.

Switch to 

Selfie Photo

 mode. See 

Choosing a capture mode

 on page 60 for details.

3.

If you don't see the Live Makeup adjustment bar on the Viewfinder screen, tap   to open the
slideout menu, and then tap 

.

4.

To change the skin smoothing level, drag the adjustment bar slider.

Next time you want to take selfies without using Live Makeup, tap   to open the slideout menu,
and then tap 

 to turn Live Makeup off.
