How to access photo mode in Frontiers of Pandora

If you want to get to photo mode, press pause first. Next, press the left button on your keyboard or your d-pad on your controller to bring up the systems menu. From here, you’ll find the photo mode option. It’s not conveniently located but once you find it, you’ll find some interesting options that’ll let you take shots that look almost as good as the Avatar movies. You can:

  • Move and aim the camera
  • Pan
  • Tilt
  • Zoom

Pressing Y on your controller will open even more advanced options, allowing you to edit your photo by changing the time of day. You can also adjust:

  • Exposure
  • Contrast
  • Saturation
  • Depth of field

You also have a wide range of effects to play around with. You can change the filters, frame, vignette strength, and vignette offset.

Despite being a first-person game, you can view yourself in photo mode and change your pose. Frontiers of Pandora‘s photo mode isn’t groundbreaking, but it has enough features to help you take the perfect shot.
