The game has several internal ways to take a picture of your favorite character or area. How to get a camera Genshin impacthow to use it and the mechanics of the photo mode read in this guide.
How to take a photo at a specified location in Genshin Impact
Orders periodically appear in the game in which the player needs to take a photo of a particular place. These can be story quests, world quests, or even hidden achievements.
There are two ways to take a screenshot inside the game: photo mode and the Camera tool:
That take a photo at the specified location, you need to approach the quest marker and find a suitable position. If you use the photo mode from the Paimon menu, the game will automatically notify you that you have chosen the right angle.
After that, it remains only to activate the tool by pressing the Z button, or take a photo from the Paimon menu.
How to take a picture through the Paimon menu
The Photo Mode in the Paimon menu has some special settings that help make shooting more convenient. To take pictures of characters in the game, there are a number of different poses and facial expressions that open with raising the level of friendship.
Let's go through all the settings of the Paimon photo mode.
Settings tab
The first setting of the Paimon camera offers the possibility of blurring the background. After enabling the function, a submenu with sliders for correction drops out. Blur distance works like focusing a lens on a regular camera. The blur radius affects how strongly the effect itself works.
Other functions change the picture as follows:
- Look at the camera - the character will turn his head in accordance with your movements of the camera and look into it. When shooting from the back, nothing will change!
- Hide Self - This setting hides the character from the screen and allows you to take a photo of nature.
- Hide personal information - activate this function if you want to remove your UID and nickname from the image that will be saved in the game directory.
Position tab
The second tab allows you to choose a pose for the character.
There are only three of them - Stand up straight, Meditate and Hands on your hips. These are the standard poses of heroes that can also be seen when interacting with them during story missions.
Emoticons tab
The third setting is responsible for choosing the character's emotion for the image on the camera. There are three facial expressions - the first is available initially, the other two are opened upon reaching levels 2 and 4 of friendship with the hero:
Different characters have different emotions - thoughtfulness, joy, seriousness, confidence and many others. Unlock friendship levels with heroes to take pictures of them in different roles.
Paimon Camera Interface
The camera interface shows hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts. Keys WASD move the camera angle, the slider on the side changes the scale of the image, and the buttons on the bottom allow you to hide everything unnecessary to find a suitable angle and take a photo.
How to take a photo with the Camera tool in Genshin Impact
The camera as a tool can be obtained by completing Li Yue's quest "Smile».
If the Paimon shooting mode is more suitable for taking pictures of landscapes and taking portrait shots of characters, then the in-game camera allows you to shoot the game itself - climbing, fighting, animations using the skills of heroes, and so on.
To use the camera, you need to open the Inventory and put it on the tab with tools:
To create a screenshot, just press the hotkey that is responsible for using the tool - by default it is the Z key. Click "Save" to send the screenshot to the game directory.
How to Take a Shot in Genshin Impact for Holidays and Adventurers
To take a photo on the quest, it is not necessary to have a camera in your Inventory. To complete these tasks, it is enough to find the place you want to photograph and use the camera in the Paimon menu.
Usually in such quests there are marks in the world showing where you need to stand up to take a photo. Images may be needed in various events, for example, in the Lantern Rite event, or in tasks such as "On the other side" or "The Adventures of the Forgetful King".
How to save a photo from Genshin Impact
In Genshin Impact, you can save not only screenshots and photos taken with the camera, but also pictures Meetings.
That save screenshots from the camera, you need to click on the Save button for each snapshot that you like. If you do not save, the picture will be automatically deleted.
For save a photo from Meetings, you need to go to the Meetings archive. It is located in the task log by the button "Legend Quests" in the second tab:
Select the meeting you are interested in and click on it to open the progress thread. Find the picture you want and click "View Memory" in the lower right corner of the screen. Now you can save the image.

What should I do if the Paimon photo menu does not accept my Enter (Genshin reads it as NumEnter, but I don’t have anything else on my keyboard)?
Maybe try reassigning the photo to another button in the settings?
Where are photos saved if they were taken on a phone?
Initially, when you get the camera not in the paymon menu, but in the duffel bag, the settings are set there, up to the special coloring vignette, but after a while the settings are removed and I don’t know how to call them again, I don’t find it. On the first camera, which was given 1 at a time for the quest, I made settings (but after a couple of weeks they were removed. I mean the settings window, but no effects), the second one was left without settings. The only thing that can be adjusted a little is the camera in the main menu and then a bunch of defects. This is both time, which, although it freezes at the time of shooting, and then only once, and a pose that does not fit with the physiognomy and other shortcomings
Hello. Miak we have 3 cameras, 2 are in a bag. The first one is without settings, the second one is with settings (gap) So the second one is in the settings bag.
Are you talking about a "special camera"? cameras from the Inventory are always set the same and do not require a change of angle, if this is not a quest / event
