• 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.

If you're unsure about L3 and R3, these refer to pressing both joysticks inward at the same time. 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 somewhat basic. You can take pictures from various angles within a certain range of Henry, but the mode lacks advanced features found in other games. For instance, there's no option to pose or hide characters, change the color tone of the scene, adjust the time of day, or insert characters from different parts of the game.

While the photo mode is functional, it's hoped that Warhorse Studios will enhance it with additional features in future updates. Despite its simplicity, having a photo mode from the start is a welcome addition, and fans are looking forward to potential improvements.
