    HTC One (M8) Photos & Videos Thread

    I took this picture last night and I was amazed at how well it came out. An illustration of the sweet spot for this camera. The only edit was applying the uFocus effect after shooting: https://www.flickr.com/photos/96228372@N06/13737738323/ Shockingly good and I'm a pretty serious hobbyist...

    HTC One (M8) camera discussion

    Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. In automatic mode, the camera decides frequently to allow some regions to be blown out so that darker elements can be seen. When entering manual mode and adjusting, you can accomplish a scenario where the dark areas are near black but the light area is properly...

    HTC One (M8) camera discussion

    Skyway, was I find interesting about the manual mode is that in scenarios where the highs are blown out, manually adjusting exposure and/or shutter speed doesn't allow you to get to a point better than the auto exposure.

    HTC One (M8) camera discussion

    Having owned the M7 and now the M8, I think I understand this camera and why it does and doesn't work for some people. If you are on the fence, I wrote this to try to describe what it is and isn't good at: HTC One M8 Camera Impressions | Productastic -H

    HTC One (M8) camera discussion

    Re: Share your HTC One (M8) photos, videos, and camera thoughts! Exactly what you said markba, ZOEs allow you to capture full resolution (for this camera) images of moments you wouldn't otherwise. In my first few hours with the M8 I find that it is similar to the M7 camera, except that it is...

    HTC One (M8) camera discussion

    Re: HTC One M8 Camera I'm pretty heavy into photography and having owned an HTC One since the last launch, I can tell you that how you take the picture makes a big difference. Open and click can yield hit and miss results, and if people expect that it does struggle. However, if you take the...
