*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is a visually stunning game, particularly when played in fidelity mode. If you're looking to capture some of that beauty and take a break from the intense combat and questing, here's a comprehensive guide on how to use the photo mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
How to Activate Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Unlike some games that either receive a photo mode through a later patch or never get one at all (yes, we're looking at you, *Elden Ring*), *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* comes equipped with a photo mode right from launch. Here's how you can activate it:
- **PC** – Press F1 on your keyboard, or press L3 and R3 together if you're using a joypad.
- **Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5** – Press L3 and R3 together on your joypad. If you're unsure, L3 and R3 mean pushing both joysticks in at the same time. Once you do this, time will pause, and you'll find yourself in photo mode!

What Can You Do in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode?
Currently, the photo mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is somewhat limited. You can use the controls mentioned above to take pictures from various positions, as long as you remain within a certain distance of Henry. Compared to other games' photo modes, it's quite basic.
Many photo modes offer advanced features such as posing or hiding characters, altering color tones, changing the time of day, or even inserting characters from different parts of the game. Unfortunately, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* does not include these options. However, it's possible that Warhorse Studios might add these features in future updates. For now, the photo mode remains simple but functional.
