How to use the camera in Once Human
To get into photo mode, hold Tab and hover your mouse over the Camera slice in the top left of the option wheel then release the Tab key. To take a picture, tap Enter on your keyboard. You can use the WASD to adjust your position and hold down the right mouse button to adjust the angle of the shot. The camera height is adjustable using Z and C.
On the right of the screen, you’ll see a window with several tabs that you can navigate through using the Q and E keys. The Basic tab is a simplified menu with all the most popular tweaks. Under the other tabs, you can adjust more granular aspects of the photo, as follows:
