Hitting the Esc key or tapping the phone icon on the upper-left of the screen will open up the main menu, where you will see a camera icon on the far right, just beneath the settings cogwheel. Click or tap on this to enter Photo Mode and start snapping.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Take a Photo in Honkai Star Rail<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your platform, the camera view can be shifted using either the zoom slider at the bottom or by dragging the screen.
