Photo Mode
Last updated 2026-07-30

Photo Mode, or simply the Camera, is a game system that lets the player take and save photographs during their journey through New Eridu. It can be accessed by pressing the Camera button during gameplay or accessing the Shortcut Wheel.
The camera is inaccessible during HDD Commissions and some story segments, as well as most combat encounters (excluding certain Photography Events).
Settings
Three camera modes are available:
While taking a photo, the player can move their viewpoint around, adjust zoom, modify photo style, reset camera, and hide UI. Additionally, the player character can move around while in Scenic mode.
