Splatoon 3 is now available to play, and it comes with cool new features such as the ability to take clear pictures using the Photo Mode. It is a much more effective method of taking pictures than is possible using the console’s in-built screenshot feature. If you are interested in learning more about this, read this guide on how to take pictures in photo mode on Splatoon 3.
Splatoon 3: How to Take a Picture in Photo Mode
To take pictures in Splatoon 3, you just have to press the — button on your controller. Pressing the button will open the photo mode menu, which will make your character stop. This will make the camera enter a mobile state which means that you can use the controls to move up, down, left, or right for the perfect shot. You can also apply a few filters, which will give your picture some enhancements. A word of caution: don’t launch the photo mode while your team is getting hammered because it stops your character in their tracks. Your teammates might think you are bailing out on them.

To take an action shot — which is all we want to do anyway — set a timer on your camera. You will get a couple of seconds to move your character into position. Alternatively, press the A button on your controller for a normal screenshot which, if you recall, is boring. Even as you set your timer, you might have trouble applying filters to the photo because, obviously, your teammates will continue to play, and they may be counting on you.
That’s it, folks. That concludes our article on how to take pictures in photo mode on Splatoon 3. Of course, the game has much more to offer, and we are only just getting to know some of the basic features. For more, read some of our guides on the game.
