Activating Kingdom Hearts 3'S Camera Mode: A Quick Guide

Kingdom Hearts 3 offers players the opportunity to take pictures and selfies with their Gummiphone, which is unlocked early on in the game. The Gummiphone is gifted to players by Chip and Dale when they head to Twilight Town for the first time. Players can then use the phone's camera to take pictures of objects, people, and Lucky Emblems (hidden Mickey Mouse logos) throughout the game's various worlds. Taking pictures is not just a fun feature, as it is directly tied to receiving gameplay rewards. This guide will explain how to activate camera mode and take pictures in Kingdom Hearts 3.

Accessing the camera on Xbox One

To access the camera on Xbox One, you will need to add an external camera to your console. The Kinect accessory used to be an option, but Microsoft has abandoned it and removed the port from the back of the Xbox One S and Xbox One X.

You can use any web camera that works with a Windows PC, as long as it has a USB port to connect to your console. If you don't already own a web camera, you can purchase one with a USB port and a 1080p camera sensor for better video quality.

Once you have your camera, turn on your Xbox One console by pressing the Xbox logo on your controller. When the console is on, connect your camera to the USB 3.0 port on the back of the console. The software on your Xbox One should immediately recognize your camera. Finally, download the Camera app from the Microsoft Store to confirm that your camera is working.

If you want to use your camera with Skype, you will need to install Skype on your Xbox One from the Microsoft Store and sign in with your Microsoft account. However, Skype doesn't automatically select your webcam for video conferencing, so you will need to set it up in the Skype Settings. Launch Skype, press the menu button on your controller to open the Skype Menu, scroll down and select Settings, then select your webcam under the Video option. You can then use the Test Video option to see how the output looks and adjust the camera zoom if needed. To ensure your audio is working, use the Test Audio option.

If you want to use your camera with Mixer, press the Xbox button on your controller to open the Guide menu, then use the right bumper to navigate to the Broadcast & Capture tab. Select Broadcast to open your broadcasting options, then enable the switch labelled Turn on Camera. You can also go to Advanced Settings to turn on the microphone and adjust the volume level.

Accessing the camera on PlayStation 4

To access the camera on the PlayStation 4 while playing Kingdom Hearts 3, you must first obtain the Gummiphone. This will happen early on in the game, around three hours in, when you head to Twilight Town for the first time. Chip and Dale will gift it to you, and they'll also introduce you to its features.

Once you have the Gummiphone, you can bring it up by pressing the touchpad on your PS4 controller. This will bring up the user interface, which you can use to take a quick photo. Press the X button to turn the camera on yourself for a selfie, and press R1 to snap the selfie once you're happy with your positioning. You can also press the A/Cross button to take a normal picture.

You can zoom in and out using the RT/R2 and LT/L2 triggers, and hide the UI by pressing the X/Square button. To make Sora smile in a selfie, press the LB/L1 button.

Taking a selfie

Taking selfies in Kingdom Hearts 3 is easy! All you need is the Gummiphone, which you'll receive early on in the game as a gift from Chip and Dale when you head to Twilight Town for the first time.

Once you have the Gummiphone, simply press the touchpad if you're playing on PS4, or the View button if you're on Xbox One, to bring up the camera in first-person view. You can then use the triggers to adjust the zoom, and when you're happy with the shot, press the A button on Xbox or the X button on PS4 to snap a selfie!

If you want to include other characters in your selfie, they might pose or make comments on your photography skills, adding a fun element to your photoshoot!

Adjusting the camera zoom

To adjust the camera zoom in Kingdom Hearts 3, you must first obtain the Gummiphone. This is unlocked early on in the game when you head to Twilight Town for the first time, where it is given to you by Chip and Dale. Once you have the Gummiphone, you can press the touchpad on PS4 or the View button on Xbox One to equip the camera in a first-person view.

After equipping the camera, you can adjust the zoom by using the triggers. On the PS4 controller, these are the L2 and R2 buttons. On the Xbox One controller, these are the LT and RT buttons. Pressing the triggers will allow you to zoom in and out with the camera.

In addition to adjusting the zoom, you can also snap a photo by pressing the right bumper or take a selfie by pressing the A button on Xbox or the X button on PlayStation while the camera is equipped.

Hiding the UI

To hide the UI in Kingdom Hearts 3, you will need to install a mod. One such mod is the "Camera Settings Plus" mod, which allows you to toggle the lock on system or HUD elements on or off. This mod also lets you adjust your camera distance and FOV at any time and gives you the option to become invincible while in camera mode.

• Download and install the "Camera Settings Plus" mod. You can find it on Nexus Mods or other modding websites.
• Launch Kingdom Hearts 3 and load your save file.
• Open the mod menu by pressing "F4".
• Use the arrow keys to navigate to the "HUD" or "UI" settings.
• Toggle the setting to "Off".
• Press "F3" to close the menu and save your changes.

Now, the UI should be hidden, and you can adjust the camera settings and take screenshots without any distractions. You can also press "F4" again to adjust the settings further or toggle the UI back on if needed.

Keep in mind that using mods may affect your gameplay experience and could potentially cause issues or bugs. Always back up your save files and install mods at your own risk.
