How to Play Outside the Canvas, Inside the Lens 2.6

Outside the Canvas, Inside the Lens 2.6 Event Guide

How to Start the Selfie Event

Talk to the Inazuman illustrator Asagiri to begin taking photography requests. You'll go through a short tutorial quest, then have photo-taking spots revealed to you.

Two photo-taking spots will be unlocked every day for the first seven days of the event.

How to Take Selfies at Photo-Taking Locations

Asagiri's requests will give you a clue for each Photo-Taking location you need to go. We'll have the locations for each photo challenge ready once the event is out!

How to Include Photography Targets

Asagiri will also include specific ''photography targets'' in their requests. Just get all of the requirements in the Photography Targets before taking the photo and you're good to go!

Photo-Taking Points

Photography Targets are sometimes photo-taking points. These points are marked in the Kamera screen. All you have to do is get all those points in one frame.

Must be facing the Kamera

This just means that your character has to be facing the Kamera when you take the photo.

Must be using an Elemental Skill

This just means that you have to take a photo while your character is in the middle of the Elemental Skill! Read this Photography Target carefully because it sometimes has specific Element requirements.

How to Use the Kamera to Take the Picture

Once you're at the correct location, you've adjusted for the correct angle, and you've met all Photography Targets, just hit the Kamera icon to take a picture! This should complete that Photo-Taking challenge.
