Hello.
I'm Bruno Guerin, live content
director on Assassin's Creed
Origins.
For the first time, we're
including the Photo mode
in Origins, so I'm
here to take you
through some of the features
included in this mode.
You might have tried
the Photo mode already,
but we've added even
more functionality
in the recent update,
so let's dive right in.
At any point in the game, you
can activate the Photo mode
by clicking both analog
sticks simultaneously.
A good trick to make sure
you get the timing right is
to start with the left
stick clicked and then hit
the right stick at
the perfect moment.
When activated, the
Photo mode completely
freezes all of the
action on the screen.
Now you have complete
control over the camera.
Using the left and
the right stick,
you can move the camera ,
or dolly, as the pros say.
Left trigger and right
trigger will zoom in and out,
which is a good way to move
in or out, while maintaining
the camera position.
You can also tilt
the frame by pressing
the left or right bumper.
The directional pad enables
you to offset your camera,
so you can raise or lower
your camera's position,
as well as move it laterally.
Clicking the left analog stick
will put you in Edit mode,
giving you even more
control over your photo.
You have access to a full range
of color and texture filters
when you press the
left or right bumpers.
Use the directional
pad to scroll
through a variety of options.
Let's take a quick
look at depth of field.
You can move the right
stick left and right
to widen or tighten your depth
of field, which determines how
limited your focus range is.
Moving the left analog
stick will change
the subject of your focus.
Using a tight depth of
field means only objects
on the same plane as the subject
will be in perfect focus.
Other objects will be blurry.
Edit mode also lets you change
exposure, vignetting, control
temperature, tint,
saturation, and noise.
Play around with each
option to learn what they do
and how you can use them to take
your photos to the next level.
When you are satisfied with your
composition filter and edit,
press the A button
to snap your photo.
Switching over to
the world map lets
you see a selection of photos
taken by the community.
They are shown as
white photo icons.
Moving your cursor
over the icon will show
you a thumbnail of the photo.
You can press the Y button to
make the photo full screen,
and then press Y again to
return to thumbnail view.
You can also express your
appreciation for a photo
by pressing the X button
to leave a like on it.
If you would like
to hide a photo,
simply press and hold down
on the directional pad.
Pressing up on the directional
pad will show you only
your photos, while
pressing it a second time
will hide all photo icons
until you press up again.
Keep an eye out for
blueprinted photo icons.
These are special photos of
the day and feature concept
art of the place
they mark on the map.
Heading to the location to
compare it with the concept art
is a good way to see how
the team's vision matches
the final product.
Be sure to visit the official
Assassin's Creed Origins
website to see the
full range of photos
people have taken
on all platforms.
On behalf of the entire
Assassin's Creed Origins team,
we hope you enjoy showing
your creativity in this mode
and can't wait to see
what you come up with.
