Taking well-lit photos
HTC One 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 on a level surface
to keep it steady.
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 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.
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, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or
§
improve the composition.
