How to Activate Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Now that you're in photo mode, what can you do? You can maneuver the camera around Henry, fly up or down for better angles, and zoom in or out to capture the perfect shot. Whether you want a close-up of Henry's boots or a panoramic view of the landscape, here are the controls for each platform:

What Can You Do in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Photo Mode?

Currently, the photo mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is quite basic. You can position the camera freely within a certain range of Henry, but that's about it. Compared to other games' photo modes, it lacks features like character posing, hiding characters, altering color tones, changing the time of day, or inserting characters from elsewhere in the game.

While the photo mode is functional and appreciated, it's hoped that Warhorse Studios will enhance it with additional features through future updates. For now, it serves its purpose, but there's room for growth.

And that's how you can use the photo mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* to capture the game's stunning visuals.
