Use Always Smile to choose the best frames and have a photo that has everyone smiling. § If you need more than a few seconds to capture the moment, take continuous camera shots and clear the frame limit. You can apply Object Removal, Sequence Shot, and Always Smile on continuous camera shots that are saved as a batch.

You can also set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings. Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an image. Taking well-lit photos § HTC One max automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears underexposed (the image 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 mode, but place HTC One max on a level surface to keep it steady. § If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR mode to capture three shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot. Keep HTC One max 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. § If your subject is lit from the back, use Backlight scene to highlight the foreground and keep some details of the background.

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

If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights,
use HDR mode to capture three shots of different exposures and combine them
