Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. But sometimes, you just want to pause the action and capture the beauty. Luckily, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes a photo mode at launch. Here's how to use it:
Activating Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Unlike some games that add photo mode later—or not at all (we're looking at you, Elden Ring)—Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has it built-in. Activation is simple:
- PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press both L3 and R3 on your joypad simultaneously.
- Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press both L3 and R3 on your joypad simultaneously. (Remember, L3 and R3 mean pressing both joystick sticks inward.)
Once activated, time pauses, and you're ready to shoot!

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode
While functional, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is currently quite basic. Unlike some games with more advanced features (character posing, color adjustments, time manipulation, etc.), this mode offers limited options. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will add more features in future updates.
That's how to use photo mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Enjoy capturing those breathtaking shots!
