RAW Photos

The Camera app captures a photo in both the DNG RAW format and JPG format.

Digital Negative (DNG) is an open-standard lossless RAW image format. Since a RAW file is typically 2 to
6 times larger than a JPEG file and is not viewable in most photo viewer apps, a photo is captured in both
DNG and JPG formats. When you use the HTC Gallery app, you

’ll see the JPG copy of the photo, with a

icon to indicate that there is a DNG RAW file of that photo.

RAW photos are not processed when captured to preserve most of the original image data

—such as

dynamic range

—so you can adjust lighting or make professional adjustments using advanced editing

tools. After making adjustments, save the RAW photo as a JPG file if you want to print or share it.

Google Photos

Here are some of the things you can do when using Google Photos on HTC 10.

● View, edit, and share the photos and videos you've taken on HTC 10. You can also access the

media files previously backed up to your Google Account.

If you see

on a thumbnail, it means that the media file is only stored on the phone and not

yet backed up to your Google Account. Without this icon means that the photo or video is already
backed up to your account.

● To select photos and videos, touch and hold a thumbnail to select one. Tap a date to select all

the media files under it. Or, touch and hold a thumbnail as your first selection, and then drag your
finger to the last item you want to select.

● Enhance RAW photos taken using the HTC Camera app.

● Add Hyperlapse effect to your videos.

● Change the speed of your slow motion videos.
