*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is a visually stunning game, particularly when played in fidelity mode. If you're looking to take a break from the action to capture the game's beauty, here's how to utilize the photo mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.*
How to Activate Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Unlike some games that might add a photo mode post-launch or never include one at all (*cough* *Elden Ring* *cough*), *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* comes equipped with a photo mode from the start. Here's how you can activate it:
- PC – Press F1 on your keyboard, or press L3 and R3 simultaneously 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 refer to pressing both joysticks in at the same time. Once activated, time will pause, and you'll enter photo mode!
How to Use Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Once you're in photo mode, you can move the camera around Henry, fly up or down for better angles, and zoom in or out. Whether you want to capture a close-up of Henry's boots or a sweeping landscape, here are the controls for each platform:
- Xbox Series X|S:
- Rotate camera – Left Stick

On PC, your screenshots will be saved to your pictures folder, while on consoles, they'll be stored in your capture gallery.
What Can You Do in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Photo Mode?
Unfortunately, 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 it lacks the advanced features found in other games' photo modes. For instance, you won't find options to pose or hide characters, change the scene's color tone, adjust the time of day, or insert characters from different parts of the game.
While the current photo mode is somewhat limited, there's hope that Warhorse Studios might add more features in future updates. For now, it's a simple yet functional tool for capturing the game's beauty.
