Captura

Captura is an in-game image capture and editing tool that allows players to manipulate and compose scenarios for screenshots.
==Interface==
To access it, go to your Warframe in the arsenal, and click on appearance, the Captura button (a photo camera icon in a circle) will be around the top right corner of your screen, just below your balance.
===Menu===
The Menu allows the player manipulate the camera movement while the scene is paused. Here are the default key bindings for these actions on PC:
* / - Tilt the current scene
* - Ascend the camera along its vertical axis
* - Descend the camera along its vertical axis
* - Slow camera movement
* - Fast camera movement
* - Hold to advance scene time
* - Take screenshot (files may be saved to C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Pictures\Warframe)
* - Toggle menu panel visibility
* - Open Advanced Menu
* or - Toggle free camera movement
===Advanced Features===
The Advanced Menu gives the player the options of settings various aspects of the scene such as:
 	Setting 	General Description
Camera 	Filters 	Choose between at least 8 different filters that alter the atmosphere of the image.
Camera 	DOF 	Change the Depth of Field to draw more focus to an element of the image.
Camera 	FOV 	Extend the Field of View to show the entire landscape, or close in on an element for a portrait.
Camera 	Grain 	Add graininess to the image.
Camera 	Exposure 	Increase the exposure to bring more light to the image, or decrease it to make it darker.
Camera 	Saturation 	Saturating the image will add more vibrancy to the colors, likewise, desaturating will set the image closer to gray-tone.
Text 	Text 	Create, edit, reposition, and manipulate a custom text box that is displayed in the scene.
Lights 	3 Light Setup 	Controls lights that illuminate the player.
Lights 	Time of Day slider 	Controls the day cycle in open world scenes.
Lights 	Scene light slider 	Control scene lighting; emissive colors will be more prominent as scene light dims.
Settings	Rain slider 	Level of precipitation (rain or snow) in open world scenes.
Settings	Slow Motion 	Toggle to enable slow motion movement at 0.1-0.5x speed.
Settings	Advance Time 	Hold to advance scene time, or make it toggleable.
Settings	Spawn Enemies 	Spawn up to three enemies from fully completed scans, similar to the Simulacrum.
Settings	Enable Self-Knockdown	Allow self stagger from weapons.
Settings	Select Captura Scene 	Choose between 34 different scenes.
Settings	Post Capture Dialog 	Toggle to enable dialog box that tells you where captured image will be saved to.
==Scenes==
Scenes allow the player to select an area in which to compose a new scenario for screenshots. Additional specific scenes may be obtained by completing certain Quests, bought from certain Syndicates or Baro Ki'Teer, awarded from certain Missions, or picked up from Storage Containers or dead Bosses. Most scenes (excluding some Quest-rewarded ones) can also be traded with other players.
==Notes==
*In order to use features like Filters or DoF, the player must have Color Correction and Depth Of Field turned on in the game's options menu. As some players prefer to keep these options turned off, this forces the player to manually turn these options back on for each Captura session.
*The player is only allowed to spawn a maximum of 3 enemies in a session. This can be worked around slightly by spawning in units who themselves spawn in more enemies, such as Drahk Masters or Boilers.
**Similar to the Simulacrum allied units such as Specters or Xiphos turrets are considered towards the enemy total and are also destroyed when using the "Kill Enemies" command.
*Enemies cannot be spawned in Syndicate or Conclave scenes.
*The lighting for the Color Key Scene is not even and has many dark spots as well as lighting being pointed only one way in some cases. Turning up the brightness alleviates this issue, but only exacerbates the unnatural coloring of Warframes in this mode (see Bugs).
*You cannot hide chat at all while in Captura, so while you can take manual screenshots without HUD in settings (PC), this is not possible when recording the screen through video and the chat will still appear.
**A temporary solution for this would be to use the Chat Filter feature to all hide all incoming messages.
*The Lunaro Arena Scene only allows usage of your Lunaro loadout.
*When enemies hit the player with melee or bullets, they will still glow as if they were damaged, which can ruin Captura scenes with the player partially glowing in the spot enemies hit them.
*Zooming in / Aiming with a Synthesis Scanner scanner whilst switching into camera mode, will allow you to keep the orange tint seen on the HUD, without the scanner's overlay appearing. Going back into your Warframe (or operator) and zooming out on the synthesis scanner will remove the orange tint.
*In the Color Key scene specifically, the room color will be reflected onto various surfaces like metal on weapons or Warframes. To avoid this (as the color of the room will bleed into objects and prevent accurate chroma key effects on post editing) "Local Reflections" must be turned off. 
* In the "Chamber Of The Lotus" scene, jumping into the hole from which the player enters the chamber during Apostasy Prologue and Chimera Prologue will spawn the models of Ballas and a helmet-less Lotus, who then play the animation of leaving the chamber through a portal together. After the animation finishes, the portal will remain.
==Bugs==
*With the addition to it being joinable by other players, the ability to pause the game, even when joining Captura solo, has been disabled.
*The pause menu camera is still linked to the player's Warframe/Operator. This can be seen when entering the camera on the character and moving only right or left, and you will notice that the Warframe will not stay centered, as the camera slightly angles itself towards the Warframe.
*Selecting the Slow Motion option will slow down all movement, including pressing the escape button to show the HUD menu and going into the arsenal. This also will delay color changes you make to a weapon after leaving.
==Tips==
*The in-game Chat function is not hidden in any way when in Captura and as such, can get in the way when recording footage of this mode, and is especially intrusive in the Color Key scene. To counter this, the player can either enter the mode in "Friends Only", "Invite Only" or "Public" (although public will allow anyone in your clan/friends list to join you) which will give you the "Squad Chat". This can be used to hide messages from your clan, but will still show the chat icon in the bottom left for a short time when exiting a menu.
**This is only a problem with recording Video of the game, or if the player wants to include the HUD in their screenshots.
*Grineer Manics will sometimes tackle the player and during the attack animation can allow the captura camera to go through it without stopping it like a normal enemy or object. This can allow PoV style shots of your character sitting or relaxing, though it is tricky to pull off without the Manic being in the view.
