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.

What's new
The HTC Eye Experience
With the new HTC Eye Experience, enjoy features beyond conventional camera
shooting. Here are some of these features:
In a video call, the camera will track you and the people with you
Face Tracking can detect not just you but also the people around you during a video
call. Your caller will see up to 4 faces that are within your camera’s field of vision. Also,
you can share what you're looking at on your phone screen to the person you're
chatting with. See Video chat on page 96.
Both sides of the story
Use Split Capture mode to record the action in front of you and yourself at the same
time, or record the action first and then record yourself giving a commentary. See
Using Split Capture mode on page 75.
Blend faces with anyone
Face Fusion uses two photos such as your selfie and a photo of your favorite celebrity
to merge your looks together. See Using Face Fusion on page 85.
Look good in an instant
Before taking your selfie, use Live Makeup to smoothen your skin. See Applying skin
touch-ups with Live Makeup on page 73.
Taking selfies just got a whole lot easier
Flash a smile, and the camera instantly captures your smiling face. Or, just "Say
Cheese"! See Using Auto Selfie on page 73 and Using Voice Selfie on page 74.
Your mobile photo booth
Take 4 selfies and the camera automatically merges them into a single picture. See
Taking selfies with Photo Booth on page 75.
