Features you'll enjoy
The HTC Eye Experience
With the new HTC Eye Experience, enjoy features beyond conventional camera shooting. Here are
some of these features:
In group video calls, the camera will follow everyone
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 92.
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 70.
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 81.
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 68.
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 68 and Using Voice Selfie on page 69.
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 70.
