How to Use Photo Mode in Genshin Impact

Getting into the photo mode in Genshin Impact is very easy to so. Once you find the perfect location to take your first photo, all you need to do is open up the main menu by hitting the Options button on your PS4 controller.

You will now need to scroll up to the Take Photo option by using the left analog stick. Now hit the X button to enter the camera mode.

If you look at the bottom of the screen, you’ll see options to zoom in or out, reset the camera, and hide the UI. But if you press the L1 button, you’ll have access to additional options that will let you mess with things such as background blur and horizontal camera movement.

And if you press the R1 button, this will take you to a screen with a variety of poses for the camera, which you can change by pressing the X button while hovering over the pose that you would like.
