HTC's Photo application is supposed to support "scenes". Here's what the PDF documentation says:
Choosing a scene
Instead of manually adjusting the camera settings, you can select a scene with predefined settings that best matches the environment you're capturing.
1. On the Home screen, tap the camera icon to open the Camera app.
2. Switch to Pro mode. See Choosing a capture mode for details.
3. Tap [A] and then choose a preset scene. Select:
[moon & stars] when capturing nightscape such as a city skyline or street with city lights. Keep the camera steady when taking the shot for best results.
[man running] when capturing a fast-moving subject such as your kid playing sports or a moving car.
[flower] when capturing a close-up shot of a subject such as a flower or insect.
4. When you're ready to take the photo, tap [shutter release].
If you need to manually adjust a scene and save it as a new preset, see Manually adjusting camera settings.

Note that the documentation uses graphic icons for [A], [moon & stars}, and so forth, which I can't reproduce in the quote. See the screen-shot attached.
Also see the screen shot for what my "Pro" mode shows. I can't find the [A] to tap, to select a different scene. How do I get "scenes" to work?

The camera has several settings, like HDR or Close Up - but it also has a setting called "whiteboard" - which isn't described in the manual.
Anybody know what it does?
Assume for taking photos of your office whiteboard.
So no official docs on this?
A quick search of HTC.com would have revealed this:
What different camera modes can I use?
To take pictures that are customized to a specific environment, tap the Scenes icon to choose from the different Scenes (modes) that are available. The icon is located on the bottom-left of the screen when shooting in landscape mode, and is reflective of the scene that is currently active (A will be displayed if Auto mode is active) The different scenes are:
Slow motion video – Create brilliant slow-motion video without needing to use video editing software later.
Auto – Take high quality pictures with a very fast capture speed. This is the default setting and also enables other features such as continuous shooting.
HDR – In bright light conditions, bring out the details of both highlights and shadows without washing out the image.
Panorama – Extend your shot by taking high quality panoramic pictures.
Portrait –Adds a smoothing effect to skin and bringing out the most of the human features.
Group portrait – Captures the most possible smiles and fewest blinks.
Landscape – Brings out the best features of nature’s wonders.
Whiteboard – Take the best possible pictures of highly reflective surfaces.
Close up – Also known as macro mode, this mode brings out the best colours and features of pictures taken at a close range.
Low light – Take great pictures in bad conditions, reducing overexposure caused by using a flash in these conditions (The flash is disabled while using the Low light scene).

How do you think I found the info for you? Btw the search of HTC.com took 30 seconds. I was over estimating by merely saying "quick search" because I figured it would take a lazy, entitled person a little longer. I guess not everyone has enough common sense to perform an internet search, though. So, how 'bout you look at the link I posted in my first reply? Better yet, maybe I should act like a spoiled child too, and retract my help.
These are some of the more interesting new features from the owners manual that was posted earlier. They are "new" compared to the N2 but quite a few of them are carry over from the SGS4. Most of the really new stuff on the N3 is centered around S Pen and inking. A lot of thought has been put in to enhancing multiview also. The camera appears, at least functionally, to be the same as the SGS4's.

Very cool! I love how the SPen can be used with the Menu and Back soft-keys. Does anyone know if the SPen can emulate pressing the Home button using the Air Commands or perhaps clicking on the SPen button?

This is also intriguing. I currently use Screen Filter to really darken my N2's screen to allow for night-time reading. I'd be curious to see exactly how dark the N3's built-in Reading Mode will make the screen.
It's not clear to me whether app shortcuts can be used on a password-protected lockscreen. This has long been a complaint of Android, and is one of the few things that iOS does better. I'd like the ability to use "whitelisted" applications so that I don't have to unlock the entire phone just to use, say, the camera. Basically, I click on the app on the lock screen, and immediately use it. I don't care if the phone is lost/stolen and a stranger takes pics with the "whitelisted" camera shortcut (if anything, it would be helpful because I have all photos set to upload automatically to Dropbox, and if my phone is lost/stolen, I can check to see what pics someone might be taking with it, including any selfies which might help to identify the perp!).
I do not know if it was confirmed till this day- the slapdragon 600 variant of S4 had the Exmor R version of that 13 mp camera whilst the Exynos one got Exmor RS. Which Exmor version did the slapdragon 800 get?

Hi All,
Inspired by "Spy Cam OS" by jimmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934513&highlight=spy+cam+os), I made an application (Watchout) that allows us to see and capture through a real time camera preview while we're on mobile activity. It's a camera preview on top of other application, so we're able to do our mobile activity (such as browsing, chatting, etc) and see/capture what is in front of us at the same time.
Tested only on Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S4 so far, really appreciate if you can test on your device and give feedback here or at the market.
Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blegos.watchout
Youtube:

* Camera preview on top of other application
* Tap and capture image
* Zoom in/out

* Don't text and drive
Update:

* Fix multilevel directory for image capture path

v.1.1.1
* Fix bugs
* Force screen to portrait
v.1.1

Thanks
One fine app. Thanks
thx this is a very good app..
a few suggestions..
(1) the zoom in/out function is a bit hard to use.. need to drag the frame left/right multiple times to do zoomings..
(2) allow to resize the frame on screen (instead of setting it in settings)..
(3) double-tap (or other gesture that fits) to close the app.. i found it sometimes hard to drag the frame to the correct spot to close it (or to enter settings, or to zoom in/out).. my own finger hinders my view whether im on the icon or not..
maybe swipe up for settings, swipe down to close, swipe left/right to zoom, tag to capture, double-tap to resize & drag to move frame?
btw, it works fine in my nexus 4 stock 4.3 rom rooted..
Thanks for the app! Looks way better than other ones i've used.
Works perfect on my Samsung Galaxy S3 running S4 Revolution v7.0 (Android 4.2.2)

thx.. v1.2 is good..
two issues noted:
(1) having set double-tap action to close app, when double-tapped, the app force closed
(2) having set long-press acton to open settings (and zoom buttons set to show), when long-pressed, the 2 zoom buttons stayed on screen.. they wouldnt go away in the settings screen, in normal screen, and even when the app was closed.. they only went away when i removed the app from app list..

regarding the above two issues, (1) is fixed..
the behaviour of (2) now becomes "no response", i.e., setting long-press action does not have any effect..
i have set it to "settings" and "zoom in", and both times there was no response when i long-pressed the watchout window..

Yes, interface the same as in JB, but this Enhanced the "touch to focus" option working great — focus time become faster, and focus quality better. But still remaine ugly jpg compression.

I overlook this tipit has existed on 4.3 but I don't know
Hi guys!
Before few times i asked this question, but no one answered. Looks like I found a way through. Usually, this option is available for iOS users only.
1. Your photo needs to be blurred - Live Focus, Portrait Mode (gcam) etc, you got the point.
2. Upload the photo to https://www.depthy.me
3. You will see some kind of error. Click load and upload the same picture to create depthmap.
4. You will see the preview of the 3D image now in the next step you need to look at the bottom and click on the image icon.
5. Here you will see the Depth Image Map. Save it.
6. Rename both files to 1.jpg and 1_depth.jpg
7..Upload both files to the desktop version of Facebook.
8. After few seconds you will see new window which says Creating 3D Photo.
10.Done!
