How does photo mode work in Resident Evil 4 remake?

Resident Evil 4 remake has two styles of photo mode: a free camera that lets you pan around and grab shots during general gameplay, and a photo mode that works during cutscenes. This lets you add filters and move around to get high definition snaps of tense narrative moments.

When generally playing the game, go the pause menu and then press Square on PlayStation or X on Xbox. This takes you to the free camera option, where you can pan around, add effects, and line up the perfect shot.

When watching a cutscene, you'll need to press the Options button on PlayStation, or the three lines icon on Xbox consoles. That'll take you into photo mode, where you can switch around image settings and grab snaps using your console's screengrab method. It's as easy as that!
