How to Photograph All Sights in Shadows in Motion

Shadows in Motion I: Springvale Sights

Sights to be found in Shadows in Motion I is the landscape of Springvale. Number 2 is already given by the system, so you just need to find the Hilichurls and the Anemo Hot Air balloon photos.

Shadows in Motion II: Qingce Village Sights

Sights to be found in Shadows in Motion II is the landscape of Qingce Village. While they are relatively easier to find, the Treasure Chest sight is tricky as you'll have to zoom in first to open the contents inside.

Photo-taking failed. Readjust the Focus?

If you get the error message while taking the photograph for the Treasure Chest, simply drag up the bar on the left side of the camera to readjust the focus.

Shadows in Motion III: Inazuma Sights

The Sights in Shadows in Motion III are in the landscape of Inazuma! Amongst the sights, keep in mind to zoom in on the Dango Milk bottles to reveal the Bake Danuki in hiding!

Shadows in Motion IV: Rainforest Sights

For Shadow in Motion IV, the sights are in the Sumeru Rainforest landscape! Remember to zoom out instead of zoom in for the squirrels sight!
