How to Activate Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Unlike some games that might introduce a photo mode post-launch or not at all (ahem, *Elden Ring*), *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* comes equipped with a photo mode right from the start. Here's how to access it across different platforms:
- PC: Press F1 on your keyboard or simultaneously press L3 and R3 if you're using a joypad.
- Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Push L3 and R3 together on your joypad. For those unfamiliar, L3 and R3 mean pressing the left and right joysticks in at the same time. Once activated, time will pause, and you'll enter the photo mode.

What Can You Do in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Photo Mode?
Unfortunately, the photo mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is quite basic. You can adjust the camera's position and take pictures from various angles within a certain distance of Henry. However, it lacks features commonly found in other games' photo modes, such as posing characters, changing the color tone, altering the time of day, or inserting characters from different parts of the game. While it's great that the photo mode is available at launch, it's hoped that Warhorse Studios will introduce more advanced features through future updates.
And that's everything you need to know about using the photo mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
