How to Activate Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

- PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or simultaneously press L3 and R3 on your joypad.
- Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press L3 and R3 together on your joypad. Note that L3 and R3 refer to pushing both joysticks in at the same time.
Once activated, time will pause, and you'll enter photo mode, ready to capture the game's picturesque scenes.

What Can You Do in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode?
Currently, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's* photo mode offers limited features compared to some other games. You can take pictures from various angles and positions around Henry, but there are no options to pose or hide characters, alter color tones, change the time of day, or insert characters from elsewhere in the game. While it's a basic photo mode, its inclusion is appreciated, and there's hope that Warhorse Studios might add more advanced features in future updates.
