distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front or back of the
device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure
compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.

Improving focus and sharpness
Ma
§ HTC Desire 626 has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too much.
To change the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the subject you want to focus on.
Us
er
§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.
§ You can set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings, or manually adjust
the sharpness of a photo in Photo Editor.
M9
XX
Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an
image.
0P
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.
68
Camera
§ 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.
§ 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.
on
ly
§ If taking photos under fluorescent or incandescent bulbs and the subject appears to be offcolor, tap
, and then choose a white balance setting. Check the image on the Viewfinder
