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 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 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 M9 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.
