§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.

66 Camera

HTC CONFIDENTIAL

Taking well-lit photos

§ HTC Desire 530 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 there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR to
capture multiple shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot. Keep
HTC Desire 530 steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR.

§ When taking a panoramic photo, consider the whole scene and focus on an object that has a
neutral tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the composite image.

Other tips

§ In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the composition.

§ After capturing the photo, you can fine-tune the contrast, brightness, and other settings in

Tips for extending battery life

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Desire 530.
Try out some of these tips to help increase battery life.

Use the power management features

§ Turn Power saver mode and Extreme power saver mode on in Settings.

§ Monitoring your battery usage helps identify what's using the most power so you can choose

what to do about it. For details, see Checking battery usage on page 94.

Manage your connections

§ Turn off wireless connections such as mobile data, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth when not in use.

§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed, such as while using navigation or

location-based apps. See Turning location services on or off on page 149.

§ Turn on Airplane mode when you don't need any wireless connections and you don't want to
receive calls or messages.

Manage your display

Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and keeping it simple helps save
battery power.

§ Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the brightness.

§ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.

§ Don't use a live wallpaper for your Home screen. Animation effects are nice to show off to

other people but they drain your battery.
Changing your wallpaper to a plain, black background can also help a little. The less color is

displayed, the less battery is used.

For more details, see Settings and security on page 149 and Personalizing on page 49.

Manage your apps

§ Battery optimization helps extend battery standby time. See Battery optimization for apps
on page 95.

§ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes include battery
performance improvements.

§ Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.
Many apps run processes or sync data in the background even when you're not using them. If

there are apps that you don't need anymore, uninstall them.
If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the app can still prevent it from

continuously running or syncing data. See Disabling an app on page 153.

Limit background data and sync

Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many apps syncing data in the
background. It’s recommended not to let apps sync data too often. Determine which apps can be set
with longer sync times, or sync manually.

§ In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are being synced in your
online accounts. When the battery is starting to run low, temporarily disable syncing some
data.

§ If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some accounts.
In the Mail app, select an account, tap > Settings > Sync, Send & Receive, and then adjust

the settings under Sync schedule.

§ When you’re not traveling from one place to another, sync weather updates of only your
current location, rather than in all of your named cities. Open the Weather app, and then tap

to edit and remove unneeded cities.

§ Choose widgets wisely.
Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not important from

your Home screen.

§ In Play Store, tap > Settings, and then clear Add icon to Home screen to avoid
automatically adding Home screen app shortcuts whenever you've installed new apps. Also
tap Auto-update apps > Do not auto-update apps if you're fine with updating apps from
Play Store manually.

Other tips

To squeeze in a little bit more battery power, try these tips:

§ Tone down the ringtone and media volume.

§ Minimize the use of vibration or sound feedback. In Settings, tap Sound & notification and

choose which ones you don't need and can disable.

§ Check your apps’ settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.

Storage

Types of storage

Starting from Android 6.0, there have been some changes on how and where downloaded apps and
their data can be stored.

Phone storage

This is the internal storage which contains the Android system, preinstalled apps, email, text
messages, and cached data from the apps. You can also install apps that you've downloaded and
capture photos, videos, and screenshots to this storage.

Storage card

Use your storage card as a removable storage to store and access your media and other files on
HTC Desire 530 or any Android phone, or set it up as an extension of the internal storage. See

Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage? on page 98.

Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage?

Use your storage card as removable storage when there's already content such as your media and
other files so that you don't lose these content. If you have a brand new storage card, choose
whether to use it as removable storage or set it up as an extension of the internal storage.

Removable storage

Use a new storage card as removable storage to be able to insert and use the card on HTC Desire 530
and other Android phones.

Internal storage

Set up a new storage card as internal storage for more privacy and secure use. This encrypts and
formats the storage card to work just like the internal storage.

This also expands the internal storage space since:

§ Captured screenshots, camera shots, media, and other files will be stored on the storage card.

§ Third-party apps that you installed and their data can be moved between the phone storage

and storage card.

After setting up the storage card as internal storage, the card can only be used on HTC Desire 530
where it has been formatted.

Setting up your storage card as internal storage

When you insert a storage card that has not been used on HTC Desire 530 before, the card will be
mounted as removable storage by default.

If the storage card is new or doesn't have content you want to keep, you can format the storage card
to use it as internal storage for HTC Desire 530.

§ See Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage? on page 98 to find out the
differences between using the storage card as removable storage or internal storage.

§ If there are still files on the storage card, back up the files first before you format the card.

1. From the Home

2. Under Removable storage, tap the storage card name.

3. Tap > Settings

4. Tap Format as internal.

If you no longer want to use your storage card as internal storage, you can reformat the card as
removable storage. Before you do so, make sure to move all the apps and data from the card back
to the phone storage. See Moving apps and data between the phone storage and storage card on
page 99.

Moving apps and data between the phone storage and storage card

If you've set up your storage card as internal storage, you can move third-party apps that you
installed and their data such as photos, media, and downloaded files to the storage card to free up
phone storage space.

If you no longer want to use your storage card as internal storage, make sure to move all the apps
and data from the card back to the phone storage.

1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Storage & USB.

card, or tap Phone storage if you're moving data from the storage card back to the phone
storage.

3. Tap > Migrate data.

4. Tap Move.

§ Screenshots will also be migrated.

§ When you take new photos or videos, capture new screenshots, or download new files after the

migration, they will be saved to the new storage location.

Moving an app to the storage card

When you're running out of phone storage space, you can move your downloaded apps to the
storage card if the card has been set up as internal storage.

Preinstalled apps cannot be moved.

1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Storage & USB.
