To take a snapshot you need to zoom in on the icon and try to centre it in the viewfinder.  The {{control|{{psx|R1}}|{{mouse|r}}}} button causes CJ to look through the camera, and zooming is controlled with {{control|{{psx|L2}}|{{mouse|wheeldown}}}} and {{control|{{psx|R2}}|{{mouse|wheelup}}}}.  {{control|{{psx|L1}}|{{mouse|l}}}} takes the picture.


If you've successfully captured a snapshot there will be a "Snapshots n out of 50" message.  You do not need to save the snapshot to memory to get credit for it.

A motorcycle or bicycle is good for getting around town fast, and you can kill two birds with one stone by building up your skill at riding.  There are people riding bicycles on Missionary Hill, Downtown, and Easter Basin.

A good way to hunt down photo targets is to "hitch a ride" on an NPC automobile. Jump onto the car hood, then constantly look through the camera viewfinder in search of photo icons as the automobile makes its way around town. Fire a round or two in the air while hitching a ride to make the NPC driver go faster.

There is a camera in the upstairs bedroom in first safehouse in Ganton (next to the spray can), and one at the southwest corner inside the Cranberry train station.

This is probably all you need but there are lots more.  Look at the [http://hem.bredband.net/708145/weap.html 708145 item/weapons map] and find the "CAM" icons to find them all.
