HTC U19e - Selfies

For clear, sharp shots
§ Tap the screen to focus on a subject. Adjust the exposure to brighten the subject or make the
subject look darker and richer. For details, see Quickly adjusting the exposure of your photos
on page 53.
§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.
§ 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 U19e steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR. See Using HDR Boost on
page 58 for details.
§ 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.
§ Make sure you're not moving the camera when taking a photo, especially in low light
conditions. Hold the phone steady and don't move the camera while taking RAW photos in
Pro mode.
§ You can control image noise by adjusting the ISO, shutter, and exposure settings of your
camera. Use Pro mode to tweak these, and save up to three different manual photography
settings. See Manually adjusting camera settings on page 60.
It also captures in RAW format, which is suitable for post processing photos. See Taking a
RAW photo on page 61.
Other tips
§ In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the composition.

app.
