How to Activate Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

- PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press L3 and R3 together on your joypad.
- Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press L3 and R3 together on your joypad. If you're unsure, L3 and R3 mean pressing both joysticks in simultaneously. Once activated, time will pause, and you'll enter photo mode!

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 take pictures from various positions within a certain distance of Henry, but advanced features like posing characters, altering color tones, changing the time of day, or inserting other characters are not available. While it's great to have a photo mode at launch, it's somewhat limited compared to other games. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will enhance it with future updates.
