The Camera has a similar function as the Surveyor Set in Monster Hunter World. Using the Camera, you can take pictures of flora and fauna, as well as anything your heart desires within the different locales in Monster Hunter Rise.

How to Use the Camera and Take Pictures

Finding the Camera

The Camera can be accessed through either your custom radial menu shortcuts or the action menu. It can be found within the same menu as the other actions you can take while perusing Kamura VIllage.

Taking a Picture

Within the HUD, you can see the buttons on the lower right side which indicate Controls while in Photo Mode. Above the controls is the total amount of space you have left in your Gallery as well the total amount of pictures you can still take!

The hollow square by the center is the Capture Field which will be the only thing included if you take your picture. If you're taking photos of Endemic Life or Monsters, their name should appear on the upper right corner of the field. Below the capture field is the Zoom function and the top rightmost corner will let you know your current POV.
