That’s pretty much limited to the camera’s current position, though. What @PureEvil616 is asking for is a freely moveable camera similar to what other games’ photo modes allow.
This guy gets it. I just want a little more freedom.
Although… I straight up didn’t realize the menu scrolled further down. How the hell did I miss that? That helps a little, but I still want more freedom.

I feel like photo mode in gz forces you to be resourceful in how you take pictures, and that feels much more fitting to the feel and atmosphere of gz.
If camera mode got a free cam, sure it would help to take landscape shots, but instead you could climb a mountain, fight some machines along the way and get a gorgeous landscape shot from the mountain top. I’d prefer the latter to just a camera i could spin up and into the sky myself 
I am pretty sure camera moving distance would somewhat be limited by what the game has currently rendered already. Not to mention the issue of getting mowed down by a stray patrol of Hunters during your out-of-body experience. 
In my opinion the best way to handle this would be if the game took a snapshot of what’s currently happening - pretty much a threedimensional freeze frame for you to walk around and then take shots in. This would allow us to create better screenshots from fighting scenes as well.
NVidia Ansel comes to mind. But that would discriminate AMD users. And a game made for multiplayer cannot be paused.
It would be great if what is currently on sliders for positioning could be made available to mouse and controller bindings.
I don’t need to fly up a mountain with it, just movie it around near my character. And I’d like to be able to look at my character with my gun in hand and not while doing some dance or emote.

Invite a buddy in your game and let him/her make a screenshot or vid of you.
Like so:
(Wanted to see 6* Kpist in 3rd person view.)

That’s missing the point, Aesyle. Making your own pictures can be fun. Getting your friend to have a crack at it instead is a different fun.
Missing the point? Yes. But how likely it is that the devs implement the photo mode free roam camera in January’s Update? I’d say slim to none.
What i provided is a way which can be used to achieve what OP likes to get with the current mechanics.

what if you are anti-social and don’t have any buddies that play?

Look man, this is the Feature Request section. I’m requesting a feature. Do I expect it anytime soon? No. Would I rather have a more competent inventory system? Yes. But I would still love a better photo mode one day. Until then, I’ve been making due with what I have. I just wish I could have a little more freedom with it.

If you are truly anti-social you don’t have any buddies at all 
I am a little worried that this objection was honesty, and even if not, @kakarron actually has a point there.
Besides, inviting someone for taking a screen shot is not only massive overkill but also highly impractical due to the changing nature of weather and lighting, e.g.
I know this game was designed to be multiplayer but many prefer to play solo.
I don’t think it needs to pause in photo mode or allow complete free roam of the camera, but adding the ability to swap over to 3rd person in photo mode and allow you to rotate and zoom in/out a bit would help.

Reviving this topic because I couldn’t find another one about this specific feature. I’d love a moveable cam in photo mode
//mod changed title to more accurately describe content of the post
I do not know where to turn, and the developers do not read reviews in the steam
In General, the game is cool, no doubt.
The only negative is the photo mode, since I can’t take a screenshot of my favorite, you need to at least make the camera fly away at a certain distance
There is also a terrible animation of running with binoculars or a first aid kit, it looks like a maniac or psychopath is running at you
//mod merged similar topics
