Elden Ring photomode mod v1.0.18
Added 2022-03-03 14:21:30 +0000 UTC
Camera version: 1.0.18
Released on: 16-feb-2025
Compatible with: Elden Ring v1.12+, Steam.
Documentation: https://opm.fransbouma.com/Cameras/eldenring.htm
NOTE: This game uses anti-cheat, which has to be disabled. Please read the enclosed readme how to do that.
NOTE: I've attached a hud toggle based on my Reshade addon 'ShaderToggler'. which isn't required but could be handy, especially when hotsampling 21:9 screens as some of the hud elements magically reappear when you hide the HUD with Del in that case. See the Framed guide on ShaderToggler for how to install it.
Features:
Camera control: (Also in cut scenes)
FoV control
Free unlimited camera movement and rotation
Timestop / game pause control
Camera paths support ('dolly cam') for defining moving camera trajectories for movies.
Camera shake support
Game speed control (slow-motion, speed up)
Hotsampling (resize the game window to any resolution)
Frameskip
HUD toggle
Configurable input interpolation for smooth camera movement/rotation/fov zoom in/out
Pillarbox/letterbox removal in custom aspect ratios
Vignette removal
Chromatic Aberration (CA) removal
Higher LODs
Setting for being invisible to enemies
Sun light direction control (pseudo Time of Day)
Changelog:
v1.0.18:
- Changed: Changed the max FOV speed from 0.01 to 0.05
- Fixed: In a camera path it could be the tilt/roll angle of the camera outside the camera path was kept while playing, causing the wrong angles to be used.
- Fixed: When the camera was rolled/tilted in a camera path it could be the actual angle used was wrong
v1.0.17:
- Fixed: The chromatic aberration removal code wasn't correct: it caused foggy indoor areas at the roundtable later in the game and some boss areas in the DLC weren't rendered correctly.
v1.0.16:
- Fixed: The used resolutions in the hotsampling tab weren't saved to the settings ini file.
v1.0.15:
- Added: Hotsampling support.
v1.0.14:
- Fixed: Fixed for game patch 1.12
- Fixed: Time of Day in camera paths now works properly
v1.0.13:
- Added: Ability to configure which gamepad trigger is used for moving camera up/down
- Added: 3 camera position save slots (Ctrl-F1/F2/F3 to store, F1/F2/F3 to recall) when the camera is active.
- Added: Ability to configure which gamepad stick is used for rotating/moving the camera (for left-handed users).
- Added: Keybinding for appending a new node after the active node on the current path
- Added: Camera shake controls in both manual movement (for hand-shot videos) and camera paths.
- Added: Keybinding for deleting the current path
- Added: Support for the IGCS Connector 2.0+ for Reshade support per camera path node.
- Added: Keybinding for deleting the active node on the current path
- Added: Mouse sensitivity slider for people using high dpi mouse devices
- Added: Shift / Shift+Ctrl are now usable on the sliders to have them move slower and even more slower
- Added: The mousewheel can now be used on the sliders to move the value.
v1.0.12:
- Added: The ability to append a camera path node after the current node; both in the camera path window and using keybinds (Shift-F10)
v1.0.11:
- Changed: Applying the fast movement multiplier doesn't affect rotations anymore.
- Added: When closing the client when the game is still running, you're now asked whether you actually want to proceed.
v1.0.10:
- Fixed: Fixed for game version 1.0.5
v1.0.9:
- Added: Camera movement/rotation/fov interpolation factors. These factors can be used to make the camera movement/rotation/fov be interpolated over multiple frames so you can get smooth camera movement, rotation and fov zoom in/out for videos without the need for camera paths.
- Added: Support for the IGCS Connector so you can create automated horizontal panoramas and lightfield screenshots.
v1.0.8:
- Added: Player-relative camera path playback has been added. This isn't 100% ideal tho: when crossing a cell in the world with your player, it will display a single frame that likely looks off. This is unavoidable.
v1.0.7:
- Fixed: Fixed for game version 1.0.4
v1.0.6:
- Added: When the camera is enabled, the engine's dithering/transparency of objects near the camera is now disabled.
v1.0.5:
- Fixed: Fixed a game crash on Windows 11 or other situation where injecting the dll would cause the game to crash.
v1.0.4:
- Fixed: When opening the camera path window, the mouse cursor would disappear
v1.0.3:
- Changed: I finally found the real game pause function (the menu explanation pause), everything pauses perfectly: grass, no TAA blurriness. So the addition added in 1.0.2 has been removed as it's no longer needed. Just press Numpad 0 to pause.
v1.0.2:
- Changed: The timestop wasn't ideal, due to the TAA mitigation causing physics issues. I decoupled these now, see below.
v1.0.1:
- Changed: Changed the timestop to a better pause. This freezes the engine better so it's not prone to random crashes. See below.
- Fixed: Mouse cursor vanished when it was over the camera path window
- Fixed: Higher LODs selector now doesn't crash the game anymore at random
- Fixed: Time of Day control didn't always work
v1.0.0:
- General: First version
Comments
Check if you don't see any errors in the log tab. Also if you use a ps4/5 controller, be sure ds4windows and hidhide is installed

2025-03-12 07:35:35 +0000 UTCSo I've used your camera tools for awhile now for, they've been a big help with screenshots and clips for my YT channel. But with this v1.0.18 I'm suddenly unable to control the camera with my gamepad even when I have it set to both. I just used it before recently and it worked fine until now and it never did this on any of the previous versions, so I have no idea what's causing it.
TheChampion3
2025-03-12 04:59:37 +0000 UTCYes! Sorry about that! I've corrected it, the right tools are now attached. I released a lot of new versions today and accidentally uploaded teh wrong zip here
FransBouma
2025-02-16 19:10:34 +0000 UTCHeya, wanted to download these tools today but it only shows the BG3 camera tools in this post ๐ญ was there a mix up?
Elvira
2025-02-16 15:43:30 +0000 UTCYou can use a trainer (FLiNGs is very good) to get an invincible player. I usually don't add these kind of things to my tools.
FransBouma
2024-11-16 08:41:58 +0000 UTCanyway you can make it so enemies and the player are invincible? i feel like that would help a lot.
Dawson Irwin
2024-11-16 03:05:56 +0000 UTCthat's called depth of field. You can use cinematic dof with reshade or igcsdof with reshade: https://framedsc.com/ReshadeGuides/Shaders/cinematicdof.htm https://opm.fransbouma.com/igcsdof.htm
FransBouma
2024-11-15 08:35:10 +0000 UTCIs it possible to blur background when taking a screenshot in this mod?

2024-11-15 07:31:23 +0000 UTCThank you so much for updating this cam so quickly! I had some crazy whiplash going from 'The Convergence Mod' back to Vanilla for the DLC and knowing I still can use your INCREDIBLE Photo Mod. Seriously can't wait to use it in the DLC! Thank you so infinitely for all your time in making this a reality for all of us. I can't imagine life without it now<3
Isaac Johnson
2024-06-21 12:09:19 +0000 UTCthanks for updating the cam so quick, your the best frans! cant wait to capture vistas in the DLC!

2024-06-20 19:35:28 +0000 UTCplease specify what you mean with 'weird'
FransBouma
2024-05-30 21:50:02 +0000 UTCThanks for helping me. Q: The control sometimes turns weird, what can i do about that?
Gabriel Farias
2024-05-30 18:33:11 +0000 UTCyou have to have steam running, as the game has to verify you have a legitimate copy. So have steam running, but start the game from the exe. If you start the game from steam it'll start the anti-cheat and you can't use mods.
FransBouma
2024-05-30 07:07:43 +0000 UTCI have an additional question: Can I run this with the game from Steam?, I mean: in the instructions it says to run the game from the .exe file, however when I do so Steam still opens, which has made me consider downloading it outside of Steam, it would help me a lot if you could explain to me what I am doing wrong, or if you could show me in a short video the correct installation step by step.

2024-05-30 04:52:28 +0000 UTCDude, thank you so much for this mod <3

FransBouma
2024-03-08 17:01:35 +0000 UTCCan i move/play/fight while in the camera mode? Kinda like a old zelda game for example
Lops
2024-03-07 18:33:27 +0000 UTCplease read the readme. disale the anticheat, then run the exe from the folder, then start the tools.
FransBouma
2024-03-05 22:03:36 +0000 UTChi Otis quick question, i got the Elden Ring tools v1.0.13 but cant seem to find Elden Ring steam iriginal 1.10.1 on the apps list to inject, am i outdated somehow? or do you know what am i missing? Thanks!
2024-03-05 19:55:31 +0000 UTCI think it's fine, if the mods don't alter code my tools also change. WHen the exe is running, the igcsclient should find it and you should be able to inject the dll
FransBouma
2023-09-02 17:53:19 +0000 UTCHi Otis! Thank you for the great mod. My Elden Ring is modded so I have to launch the game via mod engine exe to load my mods. Can I make this compatible with that or I cannot use mods when I use your exe?
Stuart
2023-09-02 17:13:13 +0000 UTCPlease unpack the zip into a folder in e.g. mydocuments or your desktop, read the readme file that it contains, and also https://opm.fransbouma.com/Cameras/eldenring.htm (Linked at the top of this post!)
FransBouma
2023-08-29 13:29:20 +0000 UTChello otis, im new member, can you explain me how i install the photo mode in elden ring please ??? thanks
2023-08-29 13:20:43 +0000 UTCThat's weird... you're using the latest official version from steam? You see any errors in the log tab of the client? You have switched on motion blur? If so, please switch it off.
FransBouma
2023-07-20 15:30:43 +0000 UTCForgive me if this has been asked and answered somewhere already but I just gave this mod a try (first one I've sampled from you) and I've encountered an issue. When I start the camera mod, the game takes on a "white overlay" where everything is tinted white like looking through a filter. It persists even when taking video recordings. Is there an option somewhere to remove this that I'm missing?
LordTrinen
2023-07-20 15:25:23 +0000 UTCI never have, no, sorry :) perhaps one day but it's not in the cards atm.
FransBouma
2023-06-10 07:14:14 +0000 UTCi am disappointed but it is not your fault,your elden ring mod is fantastic so i just wondered if you also created dark soul3 cause they are the same type of game.Whatever,i will support foryour good work
2023-06-09 11:40:50 +0000 UTCwhat do you mean, it won't open, you start igcsclient.exe? Please check if windows blocked it (as it's downloaded from the internet): in windows file explorer, right click igcsclient.exe and select properties -> check if there's an 'unblock' checkbox, check it
FransBouma
2023-05-08 08:26:24 +0000 UTCI am having a problem, When I try to open the client it will not open. I've ran it as admin, steam is open. appid is in the elden ring folder. it just won't open, any help is much appreciated. Thank You
2023-05-07 23:31:22 +0000 UTCok thanks. Love the mod btw, what I've seen of it so far
bluntarrow
2023-04-28 01:33:29 +0000 UTCno, this mod isn't for that
FransBouma
2023-04-27 21:40:27 +0000 UTCI'd like to setup the camera view in-game Elden Ring, and then go on to play the game with the camera perspective exactly where I've set it (i.e. just a little higher over the shoulder). Is this the mod for doing that? How do I do that?
bluntarrow
2023-04-27 19:03:09 +0000 UTCHi Otis_Inf, I'm using the mod for multiplayer and I wanted to know if I could use your mod in it? And if yes, is there any manipulation to do? Thanks!
Gรฉronimi Thรฉo
2023-04-23 22:14:14 +0000 UTCIt's sadly a limitation, the engine adjusts the camera but I couldn't find where... it's likely due to the fact the coordinates of the camera are relative to a small grid area around the character, and that grid moves with the character if that character moves to another area ...
FransBouma
2023-04-01 06:04:55 +0000 UTCHey Otis, I first want to say that the mod has been great, and I have had no issues installing or using it. But I do have one question: in Elden Ring, when I lock the camera and move the character beyond a certain point, the camera will jump ahead. I'm assuming this is just a limitation of the game, but I wanted to know if there's a workaround to completely lock the camera in one spot. Example: https://youtu.be/aA_GawseGt4
2023-03-31 20:40:28 +0000 UTCI have no mods actually. Never modded Elden Ring before. I'll have another closer look and get back to you
Re-edit
2023-03-25 16:48:16 +0000 UTCTry rebooting your pc, perhaps something's not right. Also, try removing it and downloading it again.
FransBouma
2023-01-25 08:13:44 +0000 UTCI'm having a small Problem. whenever I launch the game from the exe file. (steam is open) I try launching the client, and it wont start at all. I'm using the latest All it, does is load for a second, but it never starts, it was working like a month or two ago. So I don't know why its not working now..
2023-01-24 19:13:36 +0000 UTCER isn't Unreal engine 4 based. You have to use the specific tool for ER (attached to this post) for ER and the UUU for Unreal engine games.
FransBouma
2023-01-08 08:55:12 +0000 UTCWhen will there be an update to correlate the ER tool to the current version of UUU4? Unless I'm supposed to dump the contents of this .zip to the current UUU4 folder?
2023-01-08 03:25:23 +0000 UTCWeird question and I'm not sure of it's been answered or not, does this work with seamless coop? Seamless uses a dll file and I saw that this isn't compatible with other dll photo mods but I wasn't sure if that meant ALL dll mods in general.
2022-12-31 02:11:07 +0000 UTCIt's literally dragging/dropping a text file in a folder. Which one is explained in the readme file. Just follow the instructions in the readme But you don't have to worry. If you start the game from steam (so EAC is enabled) the tools won't find it so you can't inject the tools. If you have started the game properly as described, so EAC isn't enabled, you can't go online at all. Even if you try, it won't let you. (I tried)
FransBouma
2022-12-27 17:51:58 +0000 UTCDo you mind uploading a video tutorial for the visual learners? really don't wanna mess this up and void my online play, im just playing cautious
2022-12-27 16:40:16 +0000 UTCthank you dude
2022-08-19 05:51:43 +0000 UTCSaying a thank you for repacking the files to deal with a false positive! Seems to work great as ever
2022-08-16 07:59:51 +0000 UTCWhen i get to close to the characters the game is always crashing for me. Anybody got this Issue too?
ShirubaPixel
2022-03-03 23:49:42 +0000 UTCUsing the anti-cheat workaround, you play offline so there's no way to get banned. You can't use it online as the anticheat has to be active for that, which immediately makes it impossible to use the tools
FransBouma
2022-03-03 22:09:48 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this! Does anyone know the chances of getting banned by doing this?

2022-03-03 21:03:55 +0000 UTCThank you! Now I can double the time I will spend in the game - so see you in 2 lifetimes :)

2022-03-03 18:22:20 +0000 UTCThank You sooo much for this, I was praying for this!! I'm so happy! I am however having crashes when I run exe from folder despite the steam_appid being in that folder> have you got any suggestions?
