How do you take a picture on PC?

[MunificientSage1339]

None of the control guides include how to actually capture the picture. All i can find is what button to push on a gamepad. Can anyone tell me how to actually snap the picture using a keyboard??

F12 for a Screenshot. (If that is what you're looking for.)

If you're asking how to take a photo in the game itself, you need to manually drive either a Ranger or the ACU Helicopter and hit F and you'll be in photo mode. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out, hit F again to take the photo.

Yep, the controls are displayed at the very bottom of the screen once you've selected a vehicle.

Thank you for your help! I saw all the controls at the bottom of the screen, but I didn't see the "F" to take the picture.

You only see F to take a picture once you hit F the first time and enter photo mode, then the it'll say hit F to snap a picture.

I mean, screenshots in Steam are always F12.

Yeah, but that's just a quick pic, HUD included. I had no idea at first how to get to photo mode outside of hitting Esc and going into photo mode that way. Why is there not just a hot key for it?

I ended up with half a dozen screen shots, but none of them counted towards the quest in the game, unfortunately.

That's what you mean. Why didn't you say so? xD
Drive in a ranger jeep and press f to get in photo mode. Then just press left mouse button when you want to take the picture.

nope, for in-game money and bonuses select the ACU helicopter or Ranger jeep and click F key to use the in-game camera to get missions done and goodies.
