To get better captures with the
Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while taking your shots.
Improving focus and sharpness
Taking well-lit photos
-
HTC Desire 626 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 626 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 626 steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR.
-
If your subject is lit from the back, use Backlight scene to highlight the foreground and keep some details of the background.
Other tips
