Tip #8: Let the World Keep Spinning
Sometimes you’ll pause for Photo Mode at the perfect moment and find that your ideal shot is messed up by motion blur, or obscuring energy blasts, or even things like rain effects. There’s an option at the bottom of the first pane on Camera Mode called “Visual Effects” that you can pause or enable.
By default, they’re paused, but enabling them lets certain elements of the world unpause—like the swaying of leaves on a tree, or those aforementioned VFX additions like energy bolts or rain, or even things like the splatter of spit out of a goon’s mouth once you’ve punched them. Similar to our stop-and-start tip, you can toggle between pausing and unpausing to get just the right amount of effects on your shot, or let them pass entirely to give you something a bit more clean.
