Photomaly controls and settings

This guide separates five verified controls from settings and device details that are not fully documented. Use the live prompt if a later update disagrees with it.

Verified keyboard and mouse controls

These five actions were recorded in a full-release test. They are a working reference, not a claim that the game offers a complete remappable key map.

Camera prompts shown in the UI

The viewfinder confirms the shot, zoom, and rotation controls. Match its live labels before a photo order, especially if you are playing after a patch.

What the current UI shows

The in-game computer sidebar includes Photos, Store, Brush, Trash, and Sec Cam. Another gameplay frame shows prompts for placing and dropping an item. These are useful in-context examples, not a full keybinding or remapping list.

PC requirements and frame-rate control

Steam publishes both minimum and recommended Windows specifications. They are hardware targets, not a frame-rate guarantee. Quickfix #3 also added an FPS limit option in the settings menu.

Still not documented

Do not infer these from the five tested inputs above. The guide will add them only with a menu capture or repeatable full-release test.

  • Complete keyboard and mouse map or remapping
  • Controller button map
  • First- or third-person view switching
  • Steam Deck status
  • 32:9 ultrawide behavior in the full release
  • Frame-rate and hardware-specific performance
