How to Use Photo Mode in Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Once you take control of Alph in the main story of Pikmin 3 Deluxe, you will eventually find a KopPad lying on the ground. The game will prompt you to build a bridge with your 10 Red Pikmin so it literally cannot be missed.

Now that you have the KopPad, simply press the Minus button to open it up, and then press the right or left triggers to scroll over to the camera icon –press A to activate it.

Now that the camera is opened up, you’ll have a first-person view of your surroundings –it turns out that Alf and the gang are very, very tiny!

You have several options here on the camera screen. You can press ZL to toggle flash if you’re in a dark environment; you can zoom in and out with the right stick; you can press A to auto-focus, and you can snap a picture with ZR.

When the picture is taken, it’ll save to your Switch photo album like any other game screenshot.
