Let’s be real—Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is gorgeous. The slope of the hills, thick woods, and old-world towns resemble a painting from the past. It does not matter if you are a horseback rider in the morning or tiptoeing in a foggy city during the night; you will always encounter something so astonishing that you simply have to gaze at it. But staring is temporary—screenshots are forever. Luckily, Warhorse Studios gets it. That’s why they’ve given us a Photo Mode, so we can capture all those jaw-dropping landscapes, intense battles, and weird NPC moments we stumble upon. Whether you’re a virtual photography pro or just want to show off how cool your character looks in their newly looted armor, Photo Mode is the tool for the job.

How To Use Photo Mode

First things first: getting into Photo Mode is super easy. If you’re playing on PC, just hit the F1 key. Console players, you’ll need to press both joysticks at the same time. Boom—you’re in. At first glance, the interface is pretty minimalistic. While some have critiqued this feature for lack of depth, I would argue that it serves a better purpose than most instructions out there. Rather than wasting time trying to find your way through a thicket of filters and options, you may concentrate on capturing that perfect image.

The star of the show here is the free cam. This lets you move the camera around freely to find the best angle. Want to frame your character in an epic sunrise? Done. Need a close-up of that knight who just got wrecked in battle? Easy. You can even tweak the free cam speed to fine-tune your shot without feeling rushed.

Oh, and those tutorial prompts cluttering up the screen? You can make them disappear by pressing X on your keyboard or Square/X on your controller. That way, you get a clean shot without any distractions. Once you’re happy with your setup, snapping the shot is simple. Press E on your keyboard or X/A on your controller, and the moment is saved forever. If you prefer using third-party screenshot software, that works too.

Where Are My Screenshots?

So, you’ve captured a masterpiece—but where does it go? If you’re on PC, you’ll find your screenshots chilling in: C:\Users(Username)\Pictures\kingdomcome2 Just replace (Username) with your actual PC username, and you’ll see all your in-game medieval photography lined up and ready for editing, sharing, or just admiring in all its medieval glory.

Getting the Best Shots

With the knowledge of how Photo Mode exactly works, let us now progress towards the next stage of how you can take one of the best possible shots. To start off, everything in this game revolves around lighting. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has some of the best lighting in any RPG, so make the most out of it. During the sunrise and sunset hours, the game is at its most visually appealing form. The soft golden glow adds a nice cinematic feel to every shot you take.

Composition is something to consider as well. Instead of centering everything, try the rule of thirds instead. Learning how to properly and effectively position the screen's important elements on the set 3x3 grid will allow for better composition overall. It helps your photos appear less jarring and more harmonious.
And lastly, remember to incorporate depth into your shots. Having something interesting in the foreground, such as a tree, a helmet, or even a sword, can add an extra layer of realism to your shot.

Why Photo Mode is a Game-Changer

Apart from looking awesome, Photo Mode is perfect for admiring the details within the game itself. Warhorse Studios went all in on realism, from historically correct armor to the filtering of sunlight through the trees. Whether you're fleeing from a bandit camp or fighting off enemies, there's a good chance you won't pay attention to the level of detail that surrounds you. In Photo Mode, you can pause, relax, and look at the world around you.

It’s also a great way to tell stories. Perhaps you wish to chronicle your character's adventures, or maybe you simply want to document the hilarious instances, such as an NPC getting stuck in a door. From the right angle and with the right setting, even the most uneventful moments in the game can be made to look like they're straight out of a history book.
