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.
Getting the most out of HTC Zoe photos
§ When shooting in Zoe mode, try to keep HTC One steady to capture moving
subjects against a static background scene.
§ If using Sequence Shot to stitch different action shots in one photo, encourage
the subject to make obvious lateral movements.
§ When taking a group photo, ask your subjects to hold the pose until you have
finished capturing. Use Always Smile to choose the best frames and have a
photo that has everyone smiling.
§ If you need more than a few seconds to capture the moment, take continuous
camera shots and clear the frame limit. You can apply Object Removal,
Sequence Shot, and Always Smile on continuous camera shots that are saved as
a batch.
Improving focus and sharpness
§ HTC One has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too
much. To change the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the one you want to focus
on.
§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock
the focus.
§ You can manually adjust the sharpness of a photo by editing in Gallery. 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.
Taking well-lit photos
§ HTC One automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears
underexposed (the image 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 mode, but place HTC One on a level surface to keep it steady.
