Capture the Beauty of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with Photo Mode

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. Want to immortalize that beauty? This guide explains how to use the in-game photo mode.

Activating Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike some games that lack photo mode at launch, or never receive one, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes this feature. Here's how to access it:

  • 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 a gamepad (pressing both joysticks inward).

Photo Mode Controls

Once in photo mode, you can freely manipulate the camera around the main character, Henry. You can zoom, pan, and even adjust the camera's vertical position. Here's a breakdown of the controls:

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)

Screenshots taken on PC are saved to your Pictures folder. Console screenshots are saved to your console's capture gallery.

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode

While the photo mode allows for positional freedom within a certain radius of Henry, its features are currently limited compared to more advanced photo modes in other games. Options like character posing, color grading, time of day adjustments, or the inclusion of other game characters are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will add these features in future updates.
