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 M9 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 M9 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 M9 on a level surface to keep it steady.

71 Camera

§ 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 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.

§ If taking photos under fluorescent or incandescent bulbs and the subject appears to be off-

color, tap and select the option that displays the closest color to the natural color of the subject.

§ In Camera settings, you can tap Image adjustments and adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness before taking the photo.

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

Creating your photo gift

After you've selected the type of photo gift that you want, you can start customizing it with photos, text, and more.

Use high resolution photos for the best results. Images that have a resolution that's too low for a good output—less than 200 dpi—will be marked by an exclamation point.

1. Depending on the type of selected photo gift, tap or to switch between the two views

of the photo gift.

2. To replace a photo on the photo gift, tap it, and then tap to expand the window at the bottom where you can choose from the group of preselected photos.

If what you want is not in the group of photos, scroll to the bottom and then tap to select a photo from Gallery.
