6 About this guide

Important RF Notice

This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry Canada

specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure during typical

body-worn operations. To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested

levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation

distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front or back of the

device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic

components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure

compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.

7 Important RF Notice

Important note on recoverable data

Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device

may still be recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not

permanently erase all data from your mobile device, including personal information.

What's new and special with Camera

Enjoy taking great camera shots on HTC 10. The camera interface has a fresh new look, neatly

organized to make it faster for you to switch modes and change your settings.

Leaner, cleaner, camera interface

The new camera interface groups related capture modes together—such as photo capture modes—

so that you can quickly find the mode you want, and puts modes and their settings side by side for

easy access.

Without having to open the slideout menu, you can easily switch back to Photo or Video mode from

other modes by tapping or below the shutter button. You can also just tap to quickly

switch between the front and main camera.

See Camera on page 67.

Laser focus

With the laser focus, HTC 10 lets you take rapid shots with remarkable detail.

9 Features you'll enjoy

Record videos in high resolution audio

Record video in the camera with 24-bit high resolution audio. See Turning on high resolution audio

on page 71 for details.

Quickly adjust image brightness and focus

Easily adjust the focus and brightness—or

exposure value—before taking a shot.

Just tap the screen to set the focus, and

then drag your finger up or down.

See Taking a photo on page 69.

Anti-shake lens

Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) reduces blur from hand movements while you shoot. You'll get

sharper, brighter photos with more clarity, even in low light.

Selfies

§Capture stunning late-night selfies and group shots with the front facing HTC UltraSelfie™

camera.

§Live Makeup – Before taking your selfie, use Live Makeup to smoothen your skin. See

Applying skin touch-ups with Live Makeup on page 73.

§Instant selfie shots – Flash a smile, and the camera instantly captures your smiling face. Or,

just say "Cheese!" See Using Auto Selfie on page 74 and Taking selfies with voice commands

on page 74.

RAW enhancement

With RAW image enhancement, you can take your photos to a whole new level. After snapping a

shot in Pro mode, the camera saves a RAW file in DNG format. The RAW file provides more image

information for post processing in the Google Photos™app or a graphics program on your computer.

See Taking a RAW photo on page 77.

Hyperlapse

Hyperlapse lets you speed up the action up to 12 times, and select sections of the video to change its

speed. See Recording a Hyperlapse video on page 76.
