Zenless Zone Zero, it’s latest game, is absolutely no different. However, this time taking pictures is a little more complicated. Fortunately, we’ve broken it down for you below.

To take photos in Zenless Zone Zero, you must first unlock the Camera by progressing through Chapter One.

Once you’ve activated the camera, frame your shot and press the circle icon on the right hand. It’s a fairly easy process, one that’s broken down for you once you get access to the camera.

The camera is unlocked officially once you reach the section in Chapter One when you meet a cat with your sibling behind the Arcade. You’ll be asked to take a picture of it, which prompts the camera tutorial to begin. The camera has several functions in Zenless Zone Zero which you can use to get better pictures. They are:

- Reset – Press RS/R3 or click the button on the bottom left to reset the camera to its original position
