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 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 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.
