Taking well-lit photos
§ HTC One S9 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 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 S9 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.
Other tips
§ In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the composition.
§ After capturing the photo, you can fine-tune the contrast, brightness, and other settings in
Photo Editor.
