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 Desire 816 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 Desire 816 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 Desire 816 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 Desire 816 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.
