Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Mastering Photo Mode

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. But sometimes you just want to pause the action and capture the breathtaking scenery. Luckily, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes a photo mode at launch. Here's how to use it:

Activating Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike some games that add photo mode later (or not at all!), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers it from the start. Activation is simple:

• PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press both L3 and R3 simultaneously on a joypad.
• Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press both L3 and R3 simultaneously on your joypad. (L3 and R3 refer to pressing both joystick sticks inwards).

Time will pause, and you'll be in photo mode!

Using Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Once in photo mode, you can freely manipulate the camera. Pan, zoom, and even fly to get the perfect angle—capture Henry's ankles if you're so inclined! Here's a breakdown of the controls:

Xbox Series X|S:

• Rotate camera: Left Stick
• Move camera horizontally: Right Stick
• Move camera up: Left Trigger/LT
• Move camera down: Right Trigger/RT
• Hide Interface: X
• Exit photo mode: B

On PC, screenshots are saved to your Pictures folder. On consoles, they're saved to your console's capture gallery.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode Limitations

While the photo mode is a welcome addition, it's currently quite basic. You can move the camera freely around Henry within a certain range, but features like character posing, color grading, time-of-day adjustments, or adding other characters are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will expand its functionality in future updates.
