Tips for capturing better photos

.

— to change the photo quality and

To get better captures with the Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while
taking your shots.

Before capturing

 Make sure that the camera and flash lenses are clean and without fingerprints.

Use a soft, clean, microfiber cloth to wipe them.

 Hold the phone so that your fingers aren't blocking the camera and flash lenses.

56 Taking photos and videos

For clear, sharp shots

 Tap the screen to focus and dynamically readjust the image contrast, which

is sometimes desirable if you wish to take a macro to get an off-center bokeh
effect or take photos while you're moving. Adjust the exposure to brighten
the subject or make the subject look darker and richer. For details, see Quickly

adjusting the exposure of your photos.

 If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock

the focus.

 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 Phone steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR.
See Using HDR for details.

 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.

 Make sure you're not moving the camera when taking a photo, especially in low

light conditions. Hold the phone steady and don't move the camera while taking
RAW photos in Pro mode.

photos?

The Camera app captures a photo in both the DNG RAW format and JPG format.

Digital Negative (DNG) is an open-standard lossless RAW image format. Since a RAW
file is typically 2 to 6 times larger than a JPEG file and is not viewable in most photo
viewer apps, a photo is captured in both DNG and JPG formats. When you use the
Google Photos app, you'll see a
RAW format version of the file.

RAW photos are not processed when captured to preserve most of the original
image data—such as dynamic range—so you can adjust lighting or make professional
adjustments using advanced editing tools. After making adjustments, save the RAW

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.

Manage your connections

HTC Confidential

CE/FCC Certification

 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.

 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.

HTC Confidential

CE/FCC Certification

 Use automatic brightness which is the default, or manually lower the brightness.

See Screen brightness.

 Set the screen timeout to a shorter time. See Setting when to turn off the screen.

 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.

HTC Confidential

Changing your wallpaper to a plain, black background can also help a little. The less
color is displayed, the less battery is used. See Setting your Home wallpaper.

Manage your apps

 Battery optimization helps extend battery standby time. See Battery

optimization for apps.

 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.

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.

HTC Confidential

CE/FCC Certification

 If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some

accounts.

In the Mail app, select an account, tap
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

 Choose widgets wisely.

HTC Confidential

Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not
important from your Home screen.

Freeing up storage space

As you use HTC Phone, you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time.

Here are some tips on how to free up phone storage space.

Manage photos and videos

 After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot. Discard the rest,

if you don't need them.

 After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. Delete original

files or move them elsewhere, such as to your computer.

 If you're only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Hi-res video

takes up more space.

HTC Confidential

 RAW image files take up a lot of storage space. It's recommended to use a

storage card as the default storage for photos and videos. If your storage card is
running low on space, consider moving RAW image files to your computer.

Remove unused themes

Themes can quickly consume up storage space because themes can include images,
sounds and icons. Remove themes you're not using. See Deleting a theme.

Ways of backing up files, data, and settings

Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC Phone?

Back up HTC Phone before you remove content from the storage, do a factory reset,
or upgrade to a new phone.

Android Backup Service

Use your Google Account to automatically back up app data and settings including
Wi-Fi passwords and files stored by certain apps.

HTC Sync Manager

Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos from HTC Phone to your
computer. You can also sync locally stored contacts and playlists between HTC Phone
and your computer.

HTC Confidential

Likewise, HTC Sync Manager is a good alternative if you don't want to back up your
accounts, settings, and other personal content to the cloud. You can use it to create
backups of HTC Phone on your computer.

CE/FCC Certification

Other backup options

If you want, you can separately back up your data or files.

Some apps allow you to back up data to the storage card—if it's used as removable
storage—so you can easily restore them after a factory reset. Just make sure not to
erase the storage card when you do a factory reset.

In certain apps, you may be able to use the phone storage for backing up and
restoring app data. If an app is causing some problem and you need to clear its data
to try resolving the problem, back up the app data to the phone storage first.

HTC Confidential

CE/FCC Certification

Messages Back up your text messages to the storage card or phone storage,

or save them as an email attachment.

Contacts  Save contacts and other personal data to your online accounts so

you can just sync them when switching to another phone.

 If you have locally stored contacts in the People app, export them

to the storage card or phone storage.

Files Connect HTC Phone to your computer as a disk drive to manually

copy and paste files to your computer.

Other data Check other apps to see if they support exporting data to the stor-

age card or phone storage.

Using Android Backup Service

Starting from Android 6.0, use the Android Backup Service to back up your HTC
phone to Google Drive™.

This service can back up and restore the following:

Back up What content or settings are backed up

App data  In HTC apps, app data includes contacts stored on HTC Phone,

call history, Clock and Weather city list, and email accounts.

 Data from third-party apps may also be saved in the backup,

depending on the app developer settings.

Settings These include ringtones, grid size and sort order on theApps

screen, Wi-Fi networks and passwords and some device settings.

When auto backup is enabled, the Android Backup Service periodically backs up your
phone to a private folder in Google Drive. Auto backup occurs every 24 hours when
the phone is idle, charging, and connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Backup data will not count towards your Google Drive storage quota. Large files or
files that app developers have chosen to exclude from the service will not be backed
up.

Restoring your wallpaper from your old phone may depend on screen resolution
compatibility of both your old phone and HTC Phone.
