Camera basics

Whether traveling for business or fun, enjoy taking photos and videos of your trip and encounters with HTC Explorer.
Note:
  • If a storage card is not inserted, you can only take up to five photos, which are saved in the phone storage. When you insert a storage card, the photos on the phone are automatically transferred to the storage card.
  • You need to have a storage card inserted before you can access the files.
  • To open the camera in photo mode and take photos, tap from the Home screen, and then tap Camera.
  • To open the camera directly in video mode so you can immediately start capturing videos, tap from the Home screen, and then tap Camcorder.

Zooming

Before taking a photo or video, you can first use the onscreen zoom bar to zoom in or out of your subject.
Simply slide your finger up or down the zoom bar to zoom in or out.

  2. Tap Self-portrait.
  3. Press to close the settings menu panel.
  4. Turn the camera to face you.
Once the camera detects your face, it automatically focuses and takes your photo.
