Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. But sometimes, you just want to pause the action and capture the game's beauty. 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 this feature from the start. Here's how to activate it:
- PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press both L3 and R3 on your joypad simultaneously.
- Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press both L3 and R3 on your joypad simultaneously. (L3 and R3 refer to pressing both joystick sticks inward.)
Activating photo mode will pause the game, placing you in the photo mode interface.
Using Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Once in photo mode, you can freely manipulate the camera. Move around Henry, fly up or down for better angles, and zoom in and out. The controls are as follows:
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

PC (keyboard and mouse):
- Move camera: Use your mouse
- Slow move: Caps Lock
- Hide interface: X

On PC, screenshots are saved to your Pictures folder. On consoles, they're saved to your console's capture gallery.
Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode
While the photo mode is a welcome addition, it's currently quite basic. You can take pictures from various positions around Henry (within a certain range), but features like character posing, color adjustments, time-of-day changes, or character insertion are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will expand the photo mode's functionality in future updates.
