Stellar Blade PC Photo Mode Guide – Master Tips & Best Fan Captures (2025)

If you're diving into Stellar Blade on PC and haven't touched Photo Mode yet... you're seriously missing out.

This game's visual design—whether it's the sci-fi cityscapes or EVE’s flashy combat—practically begs to be captured. And the community? They're already turning every boss fight and neon alley into a fashion shoot or movie still.

Whether you're going for gritty action shots, angelic close-ups, or just want to show off that freshly unlocked outfit, here’s everything you need to start snapping like a pro.


๐Ÿ“ธ How to Access Photo Mode in Stellar Blade PC

First things first:
To activate Photo Mode, press F3 on your keyboard or tap L3 + R3 on a controller (unless you've rebound the keys).

From there, you’ll get full control over:

  • Camera movement (left stick or WASD)

  • Zoom, roll, and angle

  • Field of view, focus, and exposure

  • Depth of field and motion blur

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Hide the UI for clean shots with a single keypress—then use the “Drone” camera for dynamic top-downs or low angle action poses.

✨ Pro Photo Mode Tips for Cinematic Screenshots

Ready to go from "meh" to “is this concept art?” Here’s how:

  • Use slow-mo or paused combat to capture dynamic attacks and enemy takedowns mid-air.

  • Angle your light source: Move EVE near glowing objects or neon signs for dramatic lighting.

  • Tilt your camera (roll) just slightly—creates movement in still shots.

  • Play with DoF (Depth of Field) to highlight EVE’s face while blurring the background.

๐Ÿ”„ Combine these with stylish outfits and you’ve got a winning combo.
