Photo Mode Limitations:
Currently, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is relatively basic. While offering free camera movement, it lacks features found in more advanced photo modes, such as character posing, color grading, time-of-day adjustments, or the ability to incorporate other game characters. Hopefully, future updates will expand its capabilities.
Despite its current limitations, the inclusion of photo mode is appreciated, providing a simple yet effective way to capture the game's beautiful environments.
