Photo Mode in Space Marine 2 is exclusively available in the single-player campaign. To enter Photo Mode, these are the things you need to do:

  1. Pause the game during any single-player mission
  2. Press F on PC, Square on PlayStation 5, or X on Xbox Series X/S

It’s worth noting that Photo Mode cannot be accessed during cutscenes or in multiplayer modes. This restriction ensures that players don’t miss crucial story moments or disrupt online gameplay.

How to Navigate the Photo Mode Interface

Once in Photo Mode the game pauses allowing for precise adjustments. The interface is divided into four main tabs:

Camera Controls

This section lets users adjust:

  • Field of view
  • Depth of field
  • Focus distance
  • Camera position and rotation

Players can move the camera freely within a 10-meter radius of the character. This flexibility allows for capturing wide landscape shots or up-close character details.

Effects

Perhaps the most entertaining aspect of Photo Mode is the ability to manipulate characters:

  • Change the facial expressions of Titus, Gadriel, and Chairon
  • Toggle helmet visibility
  • Remove characters from the scene entirely

This feature allows for creating humorous scenes or focusing on specific elements of the environment.
