Capture the Beauty of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with Photo Mode!
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. Want to preserve that beauty beyond gameplay? This guide details how to utilize its photo mode.

Photo Mode Limitations:
While functional, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is currently quite basic. Camera movement is limited to a certain radius around Henry. Unlike more advanced photo modes, it lacks features such as character posing, color grading adjustments, time-of-day manipulation, or the ability to include other game characters. Future updates may expand its capabilities.

Despite its limitations, the inclusion of photo mode is appreciated, and hopefully, Warhorse Studios will enhance it with future patches.
