Record A Video - HTC One M8 User Manual

●
You can manually adjust the sharpness of a photo by editing in the Gallery app. You can
also set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings. Generally, it is
better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an image.
Take Well-lit Photos
●
Your phone automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears
underexposed or appears dark on the Viewfinder screen, touch a part of the image that
is in shadow. Conversely, touch 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 touching 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 use a tripod or place your phone on a level surface.
●
If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR
mode to capture three shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot.
Keep your phone steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR.
●
When taking a panorama shot, consider the whole scene and focus on an object that
has a neutral tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the composite image.
●
If your subject is lit from the back, use Backlight scene to highlight the foreground and
keep some details of the background.
Other Tips
●
In Camera settings, touch 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, touch >
the Viewfinder and select the option that displays the closest color to the natural color of
the subject.
●
In Camera settings, you can touch Image adjustments and adjust the exposure,
contrast, and others before taking the photo.
●
After capturing the photo, you can continue to edit the contrast, brightness, and others in
the Gallery app.
