Photo Mode

## Overview

**Photo Mode** is a feature in **Super Bear Adventure**. It was added on game update 10.2.0. This feature lets you move the camera around and take a picture, with the option to save it on your device. To use this feature, you need to find a button with a camera icon in the pause menu. You can zoom in and out and rotate your camera. There are options to customize your photo such as filters and depth of field. These customizable options can only be used when SBA Gold is purchased. If you take a picture with a filter or depth of field without SBA Gold, it will save the picture without the selected options.

### Limitations

* You can’t use photo mode in Tristopio’s missions, only in practice mode. This is implemented to prevent cheating.
* You need to save every bear in level to access photo mode.
* You can't fly around the whole level; there is an invisible barrier.

## Filters

Filters change the hue and lighting of your photo, along with a slider that enables you to change the intensity of your selected filter. With SBA Gold, you can get the filters, as when you use Photo mode and you try to use a filter without SBA Gold, a watermark will appear, and if you take a picture, the picture reverts back to without a filter. There are currently 37 known filters in Photo Mode:

* No filter
* Cinematic
* Creepy
* Intense
* Dramatic
* Flashback

## Menu

Here you can see some things like:

* Back button - use to go back to pause menu.
* Menu - open menu with filters, guidelines, Depth of field, and filter contribution.
* Rotation - rotates camera.
* Angle - chose any angle what you want.
* Take photo - use it to take photo.

### In Menu:

* Guidelines - adds visible grids.
* Depth of field - it will make the background of your photo more blurred
* Filters - used to enhance your photo with effects.
* Filter contribution - if you want to make filter less/more visible, you can use this.

## Filter Contribution

This adjusts how intense the filter will be applied to your photo. The higher the value, the more your image is affected by the selected filter.

## Depth Of Field

The background will be blurred, while the object/character in the foreground stays clear. This makes the primary target of the photos stand out more.

## Guidelines

This cuts the screen into 9 pieces with added guidelines, which helps with the usage of The Rule of Thirds. It helps with the composition of your photo.

## Save Menu

This is the menu that shows up when you take an image. There are two options to choose from;

* Save - it will save your photo to your phone gallery.
* Continue - it will cut your photo, yeah, but if you didn’t save your photo, don’t worry! Just retake it.

## Trivia

* In the Discord server, a popular photo format was heavily used mostly as a meme, which involves the player jumping on an NPC's head and taking the photo of the flat NPC.
	+ Another variant involves the player pausing at the right moment after a bear is saved, the photo will come out with a long and thin bear.
* If you turn on “hide inputs” in options there will be no joy stick and back button in photo menu/mode.
