WARNING: PHOTO MODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE IN THE STORY MODE

UPDATE: PHOTO MODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE IN PRIVATE CO-OP MISSIONS


Now onto the guide :3

To open photo mode you must first press your escape key to open the pause menu, from there If you press the F key you will launch photo mode.
After launching photo mode you will be pushed into a free roam camera that should look something like this:
To move your camera around you can use your WASD keys and to pan the camera you will hold the right mouse button and move your mouse around to move the camera.

In this section we will go over the different camera settings you can use in the camera tab and what they do.

Field of view (FOV) is a tool that makes the view of the camera further or closer depending on where you move the slider, moving the slider to the right increases the FOV to a maximum of 90 while moving the FOV slider to the left will decrease the FOV to a minimum of 30.


FOV: 74 (PHOTO MODE DEFAULT)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOV: 30 (MINIMUM FOV)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOV: 115 (MAXIMUM FOV)

Take a wild guess on what a setting called camera roll does.... It rolls the camera! This setting is used for rotating the camera if you open photo mode for a dope ass photo but you're on uneven ground.
Sliding the camera roll slider to the right It will rotate the camera up to 90 degrees, while sliding the camera roll slider to the left will rotate the camera in the opposite direction to -90 degrees.



CAMERA ROLL: 90 DEGREES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAMERA ROLL: -90 DEGREES

Bokeh, funny word but it means how intense your depth of field (DOF) effects will be, I suggest not changing the default DOF effects as they are just fine with how you can change the bokeh intensity. The bokeh intensity itself uses your DOF settings to blur a certain percent of the background and some foreground elements.



BOKEH INTENSITY (UNTOUCHED SETTINGS)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOKEH INTENSITY (CHANGED DOF AND RANGE SETTINGS)

This section will go over all the settings in the Effects tab of photo mode.

Filters are non destructive (settings that are applied that can easily be reverted) ways to add pre made effects into your photos, while you can apply filters to your photos you can still change certain settings that you want after you've applied these filters, here are all the filters that you can apply.

Exposure makes the content within the shadows more visible by brightening the darker colors of the photo. Sliding the exposure slider to the right brightens the shadows and sliding It to the left darkens the brighter colors.



EXPOSURE MAX
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These effects are so short and simple that I will not need to provide screenshots of what they do so here's the list:


Vignette
Adds dark shadows in the corners of the photo for a darker look.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bloom
The setting in the game that you (like most people) turned off immediately starting the game; it makes light effects like the sun and portals glow and shoot rays of light into your face.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Film Grain
Makes your photo look like its on a VHS tape.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chromatic Aberration
Adds a distortion effect to the edges of the photo, Titus loves that za.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lens Distortion
Adds or removes the barely noticeable circle filter that's on the photos that make the center of the screen round.

In this section I will explain the various character related settings in the game.

In photo mode you can change the faces of Titus, Gadriel, and Chairon with various facial expressions and emotions from happy to sad to even the greatest expression of them all: HELMET

The characters names below the last setting section lets you toggle the characters aka removing the main characters from the scene. Thats it, literally nothing else.
