Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode

While the photo mode allows for camera movement and zooming, its features are currently limited. Unlike more advanced photo modes, it lacks options for character posing, color grading, time-of-day adjustments, or the inclusion of other game characters. Hopefully, future updates will expand its functionality.
