Photo Mode Limitations:
Currently, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is relatively basic. While offering camera control and positioning, it lacks advanced features found in other games, such as character posing, color grading, time of day adjustments, or the ability to incorporate other game characters into the scene. Hopefully, future updates will expand these options.
Despite its current limitations, the inclusion of photo mode is a welcome addition, allowing players to capture the game's breathtaking visuals.
