How to Use Photo Mode in Nloh 3

Introduction to Nioh 3 Photo Mode: Nioh 3’s Photo Mode lets players freeze intense battles, scenic vistas, and character moments to capture cinematic screenshots. It pauses gameplay wherever you are, including during combat, letting you position the camera and fine-tune settings without enemy movement. This tool is ideal for sharing epic action shots or peaceful shrine views that are easy to miss in fast-paced gameplay, making every memorable moment worth saving visually.

How to Activate Photo Mode: Activating Photo Mode in Nioh 3 is simple and responsive. On controllers, use the assigned shortcut (Options/Menu + R1) and on PC, press the P key to enter the mode instantly. If the shortcut doesn’t work, players can enable it through System Settings first. Once entered, gameplay pauses completely, and a customizable interface pops up so you can begin adjusting your photo setup without distractions.

Camera Controls and Positioning: In Photo Mode, you have full control over camera placement and angle. You can move and tilt the camera to frame exactly what you want, altering the Field of View, depth, and perspective to emphasize characters or landscapes. These tools help you craft dramatic, artistic shots that highlight the rich environments and dynamic combat for which Nioh 3 is known.

Lighting, Filters, and Visual Style: Photo Mode includes powerful lighting and stylistic tools to change mood and tone. Players can add multiple artificial light sources, adjust light brightness, tweak RGB sliders for creative colour effects, and apply preset filters to enhance images. These options are especially useful in dark interiors or night missions, ensuring your screenshots look dramatic and polished without needing external editing.

Visibility Settings and Subject Control: Nioh 3 lets you decide exactly what appears in your frame. You can hide or show the player character, NPCs, enemies, weapons, blood effects, and dropped items to focus on specific subjects or create clean environmental shots. You can even adjust character eye direction for better portrait composition, a powerful feature for storytelling through screenshots.

Perfecting Your Shoot (Tips): Use Photo Mode creatively by combining camera angles, filters, and visibility adjustments. Try slowing gameplay via the pause or advancing frame-by-frame to capture dramatic combat moments. Better positioning, lighting control, and subject focus help produce standout compositions worth sharing on social platforms or saving as keepsakes.

Saving and Sharing Your Photos: After setting up your shot in Photo Mode, hide the UI and capture the screenshot using your system’s capture function. Once taken, images are stored in your console or PC screenshot library. These saved shots let you revisit your favourite moments or share them with friends and the Nioh community, highlighting both skill and artistry.
