Tips for capturing better photos
To get better captures with the Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while
taking your shots.
Improving focus
HTC Desire 650 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.
If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock
the focus.
Taking well-lit photos
HTC Desire 650 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 Desire 650 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
