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+ Supreme Camera Edition 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+ Supreme 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 you are using the default settings and the photo still appears too dark, switch to Night
scene, but place HTC One M9+ Supreme Camera Edition on a level surface to keep it steady.
