Photo Mode Limitations

While convenient, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode currently lacks advanced features found in other games. You can freely position the camera around the character, but options like character posing, color grading, time-of-day adjustments, or character placement are absent. Hopefully, future updates will expand its functionality.

Despite its current limitations, the inclusion of photo mode is a welcome addition, allowing players to easily capture and share the game's stunning visuals.
