Improve Focus
● The laser auto focus intelligently finds the best shot based on its position and pointed direction.
Tapping the screen to focus uses the image contrast to dynamically readjust, which is sometimes
desirable if you wish to take a macro to get an off-center bokeh effect or take photos while you're
moving.
● To change the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the subject you want to focus on.
● If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, touch and hold the subject to lock the focus.
Take Well-lit Photos
● To focus on a specific subject, just tap on it. To manually adjust the exposure, tap the screen and
then drag your finger up or down.
● 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 10
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 enhance the photo in the Google Photos app.
