Title Updates Roadmap and Schedule
Access Through Edit Menu While in Photo Mode
The Edit Menu can be seen on the upper right side of your screen while in Photo Mode. Choosing this option will open the various editing options that you can apply to your photo.
Choose Which Characters are Visible
"Character Display" is another feature that Title Update 2 brought, and can be accessed through Edit Menu. In this tab, you can choose which characters will stay visible in your photo by toggling on or off!
Switch View Mode
| Default View Mode | Second Viewing Mode |
|---|---|
|
|
Upon entering Photo Mode, you can choose which view the camera would take. The default view would be in a first person like view where your hunter is "holding" the camera. In this viewing mode, you can pause the game by pressing the Right Thumbstick.
Pressing Square in PS4/5 or X in Xbox will switch the view, transitioning into a third person like point of view. This second view mode is excellent for photos that will include your hunter.
Control Camera or Control Character in Second View
In the second view mode, you can choose whether to control the camera or your character. You can toggle to control the camera or your character by pressing the Right Thumbstick.
Use Poses and Gestures
While in the second view mode, you can choose poses and gestures that your character and palico will do.
Camera View
Camera View allows you to zoom in and out so you would have a control over how much the camera covers.
Camera Rotation
You can tilt the camera to the left or right using the Camera Rotation.
Depth of Focus
Depth of Field gives you reigns over which part of the photo should be sharpened and blurred.
Essentially, if the Depth of Field is low, only the objects in front would be sharpened while the rest are blurred. Raise it higher so the objects in the middle or even at the back would be sharped, while the ones in front are blurred
Other Features
The Camera features don't stop there! There is still Depth of Field, and Focal Ratio. Both of these features can be explored in the game.
Photo Mode Tips
Pause the Game
When you know you have a perfect shot, you can instantly pause the game. This eradicates the danger of any monsters nearby, giving you the time and freedeom to edit the shot you just took.
Note that you can only pause quests in Single Player Mode.
How to Pause Quests
