- Field of view (FoV) control
- Tilt
- Timestop
- Frameskip

This game has a built-in anti cheat. This photomode mod only works if the anti-cheat is disabled. To do that, you have to install two essential mods. No exceptions, you have to install these mods to make it work. It's easy tho, and chances are you have them installed anyway as they're needed for any other mod for Monster Hunter World.
It's recommended to use the photomode mod in a private session and not in online sessions with strangers, simply because of the timestop feature which has unknown consequences.
When pausing in a cutscene and moving the camera around, you'll see a ghosting effect occur. This is something I couldn't get rid of, so it's sadly something you have to live with. When you stop moving the camera, it'll go away. So it's not important for people taking screenshots, but for people creating videos it might be less ideal.
The pillar boxing black bars in cutscenes can be removed by using the HUD toggle (Default: Del key).
How to use
Please see for details how to get started and configure this photomode mod, General features and configuration. This guide will provide additional information for the controls / features specific for this photomode mod.
If you don't see the MonsterHunterWorld.exe process in the Process to inject to textbox, please click the Select button to select it manually.
Additionally, if you're running the game as Administrator and the IGCSClient.exe does not, it can't see the MonsterHunterWorld.exe process.
In that case, restart the IGCSClient.exe as Administrator.
Image Quality
The Image Quality tab is the tab where you can adjust additional features which affect the game world and the image quality. For Monster Hunter: World it allows you to control the following:
- Game speed
- This controls how fast the runs internally; a value of 1.0 is 'normal game speed' and a value of 0.0 is total pause. Use this to create slow-motion effects which help you pause the game at the right moment.
- Time of Day
- This controls the time of day visually in the gameworld. The shadows stay the same, but the overall color scheme of the world changes and torches are lit at night.
- Disable DoF in cutscenes
- This allows you to disable the Depth of Field effect in cutscenes so it's not in your way when moving the camera around.
- Higher LODs
- This increases the details of plants / trees and certain objects further away in the game world. Might have a performance impact
- Hide Player:
- This will make the player transparent so you won't see the player. It's still there tho. It's also a visual aspect, so other players in your party won't see you hidden.
Pausing the game or changing the gamespeed is a client-side functionality. This means that if you pause the game using the Timestop feature, it won't have an effect on the gamespeed of others in your party. This also means that using this feature is only recommended when you play solo.
Information recorded with camera path nodes
When you create a Camera path, each node records the camera location, orientation, field of view as well as the Time of Day.
