From its expressive characters to its cool menus, it would be hard to deny that Zenless Zone Zero absolutely oozes style. However, this also has the issue of making things confusing and hard to access, the Zenless Zone Zero camera and photo mode being one of the most frustrating.

With how important it is to take photos to complete your ZZZ dailies and earn those precious Polychromes, it’s a good idea to get your head around it. After all, you don’t want to miss out on any of the characters on the latest banners if you can help it. Even if you don’t care about all that, it’s still handy to know how to take pictures of the beautiful environments in HoYoverse’s latest gacha RPG.

How to Use the Camera and Take Photos in Zenless Zone Zero

To access the camera and take photos in Zenless Zone Zero, you must hold the interact key and select the camera tool from the radial menu. On PC, this is done by holding ‘F’, while on controller you will need to hold the right bumper. On mobile, it’s as simple as tapping the icon.

With how hidden this menu is, you might not even realize ZZZ has a camera feature at first. However, when you start needing to complete your daily missions, many will ask you to take photos of specific things around New Eridu’s Sixth Street area.

Unfortunately, it’s a relatively simple camera tool. You can raise and lower the camera, as well as zoom in and out, but that’s about it. The interesting world and unique characters will be doing much of the heavy lifting if you’re looking to make an album.
