How to Use Photo Mode in Ghost of Tsushima

To use photo mode in Ghost of Tsushima, hold right on the D-pad of your controller and then click in the right analog stick or, when using a mouse and keyboard, hit ‘P.‘ On PC, it automatically takes a screenshot, which is annoying but not the end of the world.

From here, you can alter various settings within the game’s photo mode to create the perfect piece of virtual photography.
