The photo mode also has lens settings for character position, tilt, field of view, and depth of field. There are also options for color temperature and tint. Players can also create several light sources and also change the settings for hue, brightness, range, illumination style, and more, basically adding custom lighting as they please.
Players Can Even Tweak The Character in Photo Mode
Players can also use adjustable light bulbs, moving them around and attaching them to the camera or any part of the level that will allow them to illuminate any part of the picture. While these features in photo mode are some of the best yet seen in games, there is also the“Character”tab that has many more features for players.
