The Zenless Zone Zero photo mode is sadly basic, but you can still take pictures of your favorite characters in the game (if they’re around your hub area). Here’s exactly when you’ll unlock this feature and how to use it.
When is the Zenless Zone Zero photo mode unlocked?
TheZenless Zone Zerophoto mode is unlockedafter completing a few missions in the game. You’ll be outside in the main hub town your protagonist is from. Your brother (or sister) finds a cat, and you take a picture of it with your phone. It’s a part of the main storyline, so you won’t miss it. After this, you’ll be able to take pictures inZenless Zone Zero.
However, don’t get too excited.Zenless Zone Zerolacks filters and doesn’t even let you take a selfie. You can only capture things in front of your character, and the worst part is that the photo mode is only limited to the hub town, not during missions. You’ll see yourfavorite characterslike Anby, Nekomata, andBilly Kidon rare occasions in the city, so take a picture with them when you can.

How to enable the photo mode
To activate theZenless Zone Zerophoto mode on a controller, hold the left shoulder button and then use the right analog stick to move a cursor around a wheel. Pick the symbol that has a lens on it on the left. After that, your protagonist gets out their camera and readies their shot. You can hide the UI by pressing the Triangle (Y) button. Additionally, there’s a zoom in and zoom out function by holding the left and right trigger buttons. You can reset the shot by pressing the right analog stick.
Once you’re happy with your shot, press the Cross (A) button. you may now share it with your friends on social media. On the PS5, it saves to your Media Gallery. On PC, you’ll need to find the root folder where you installedZenless Zone Zeroand look for the Screenshots folder there-in.

From here, you can take a glance at your pictures. Unfortunately, they’re in an odd format: 417×266. MiHoYo also added its own format that places an annoying logo and frame around the picture. It might be best to screenshot the image after clearing away the UI with Prt Sc or simply pressing the Share button on PS5.
