The camera in Far Cry 3 is useful for tagging enemies from a distance but also includes the ability to take pictures. This does not seem to do anything useful when used on animals or enemies. Is there a purpose?

As it turns out, the Take Picture functionality is ONLY used in missions (Thanks Paralytic) (Source:).

    you should also add that some missions require you to take pictures of things

  • @Paralytic - I assumed jhappoldt was only looking for the 'idle' uses of the camera, but you're right, added.

  • In the PC, do you know the directory where the screenshot, camera-taken pictures in Far Cry 3 are located?

  • Hmm, an article I read ages back said you could, but according to this, it can't actually take screenshots. What a bummer. I always assumed that was the point, but never bothered to try it in game

One of the screen tips while the levels load says that you can use it to track enemies.

Take a picture of them and you will see an indicator hover over their heads so you can more easily track multiple enemies.

    You don't need to take a picture for that, the camera will automatically mark enemies and animals as soon as they are in view.
