Tips for capturing better photos

Improving focus

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

66 Camera

Taking well-lit photos

§ HTC One M9 Prime Camera Edition 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 One M9 Prime Camera Edition 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

How does the Camera app capture RAW 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 HTC Gallery app, you'll see the JPG copy of the photo, with a icon to indicate that there is a DNG RAW file of that photo.

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 photo as a JPG file if you want to print or share it.
