Since its release, Palworld has had many exciting updates, with many new Pals, NPCs, and content added to the game. However, the community has long been asking for one feature to be added to the game, the Photo Mode.

In the recent March update, the developers added exciting new features like the photo mode and crossplay. Both of these features have been long-awaited, and till today, players can only use the photo mode by installing game mods. However, the much-awaited feature is now here, allowing the players to enter the photo mode to capture the captivating scene of the Palpagos Island and its adorable pals.

The Drafting Table is a reliable way to craft Schematics in-game. Here’s how to unlock and use the Drafting Table in Palworld.

How to Use Photo Mode

You can use Photo Mode in Palworld while in the game, so you won’t have to pause the game or take any other action to enter the photo mode. To enter the Photo Mode, you must use the Pal Command Sphere. On the left side of the command wheel, there is an option, ‘Photo Mode,’ which will take you to the free view of the photo mode in Palword.

However, unlike other games, the photo mode in Palworld doesn’t have any designated button to capture the photos from within the game. Once you have set up the perfect angle from where you would like to click an image, you must take a screenshot on your device to click a picture in the photo mode.

The developers have kept the Photo Mode simple and only allow you to go into a free-view POV while the world moves on as usual. It is to be noted that while in photo mode, the game is not paused. Thus, if you have any hostile pals attacking you or are in between boss battles, you will continue to sustain damage when you enter Photo Mode.

The photo mode in Palworld has no customization or photo filters. However, since the developers have added the feature in response to the community’s demand, the customization features may arrive soon in the future updates.

Photo Mode Controls in Palworld

The Photo Mode controls in Palworld are very straightforward, and since the system is relatively simple, there are only controls to move the camera.

• To move the camera left/right/front/back, you must use the WASD buttons on PCs or the left stick on the controller.
• You can ascend the camera angle by pressing Space/LB and descend using LCTRL/RB.
• You can use the F button on the PC or A on the controller to hide the HUD while taking a screenshot.
• To exit the photo mode, use Esc or B on controllers.
