Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode
Currently, the photo mode's functionality is relatively basic. While you can freely position the camera around the character Henry, features like character posing, color grading adjustments, time-of-day changes, or character placement are absent. Hopefully, future updates will expand its capabilities.
Despite its limitations, the inclusion of a photo mode is a welcome addition, allowing players to easily capture the game's beautiful environments.
