The Kamera is a gadget obtained by completing the World Quest Snapshots. As its name implies, it allows you to take pictures.
On all platforms, the Kamera can be used to take pictures in many situations where Photo Mode is unavailable, such as while Elemental Sight is active or while battling, gliding, falling, or swimming. In addition, since pictures are taken instantly once the Quick-Use button is pressed, the Kamera can be used to take pictures of certain actions that are difficult to capture with Photo Mode, such as combat talents. However, the Kamera lacks the fine-tuning features found in the regular version, such as camera adjustment and options for expression and pose.
There is no cooldown period for using this gadget.
The Kamera cannot be used in Domains.
Screenshots taken on PCs are saved to a ScreenShot folder in the main Genshin Impact folder, which can be found where the user installed Genshin Impact. By default, the path to the ScreenShot folder will be this or something similar:
C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\Genshin Impact Game\ScreenShot
Trivia[]
- The Kamera is likely inspired by the invention of the first camera on Earth, the daguerreotype, as the Kamera originates from Fontaine, and the daguerreotype was invented in France.
- This may be reflected by the Spanish and French localizations' names for the Kamera, which are Daguerrotipo and Daguerréotype, respectively.
- The Kamera's method of producing instant photos may be inspired by the Polaroid instant cameras.
- The Kamera's design resembles a twin-lens reflex film camera, which has two lenses, one for viewfinder and another for taking pictures.
Etymology[]
- "Kamera" stems from the Latin phrase "camera obscūra," meaning "dark chamber," and thus literally translates to "chamber."
