Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. But sometimes, you just want to pause the action and capture the breathtaking scenery. Thankfully, 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 has it built-in. Activation is simple:
- PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press both L3 and R3 simultaneously on a gamepad.
- Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press both L3 and R3 simultaneously on your gamepad. (L3 and R3 refer to pressing both joystick sticks inward.)
Once activated, time will pause, and you'll be ready to snap some shots!

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode
While the photo mode is a welcome addition, its features are currently quite basic. You can take pictures from various positions around Henry (within a certain range), but advanced options like character posing, color adjustments, time-of-day changes, or adding other characters are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will expand the photo mode's capabilities in future updates.
That's how to use photo mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Enjoy capturing the game's stunning world!
