Have you ever tried taking photos inside Domains in Genshin Impact, only to find that the game blocks all your camera tools?
Normally, you can’t use the Kamera or Photo Mode in these areas.
But here’s a cool discovery: you can take pictures inside Domains using Charlotte and her unique ability!
What You Need
To make this work, you’ll need:
- Charlotte in your party (from Fontaine)
- Her special camera gadget called the Special Analysis Zoom Lens (available once you unlock Charlotte)
How to Take Photos Inside Domains with Charlotte
Follow these simple and accurate steps:
- Equip the Special Analysis Zoom Lens from your gadget inventory.
- Add Charlotte to your active team.
- Enter any Domain (except Spiral Abyss).
- Hold down her Elemental Skill button (not just press – hold it).
- The camera viewfinder will appear – now you can take photos, even in combat and restricted areas.
This works because the Zoom Lens is linked to Charlotte’s Elemental Skill, not the normal Kamera tool or Photo Mode.
Why This Trick Works
Most Domains disable the Kamera gadget and Photo Mode for performance and balance reasons. But Charlotte’s photography is built into her character, not the game’s global photo tools. That means:
- It’s treated like a combat skill
- It bypasses the usual Domain restrictions
- It works even during active fights and exploration
It’s a clever use of her kit that many players overlook!
Best Domains for Beautiful Screenshots
Some Domains are too stunning not to capture. Try using Charlotte’s lens in these scenic spots:
- Echoes of the Deep Tides (Fontaine) – glowing reflections and aquatic vibes
- Taishan Mansion (Liyue) – dramatic red-and-gold firelight
- Spire of Solitary Enlightenment (Sumeru) – overgrown ruins with mystical energy
- Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates (Inazuma) – eerie lighting and ghostly vibes
Take your time to position the camera and explore different angles.
Tips for Better Domain Photography
- Try using Elemental Skills or reactions during your shot for cool effects.
- Move Charlotte around and hold the skill again to reset your view.
- Use external editing after saving your screenshots for polish.
Final Thoughts
Charlotte’s Elemental Skill lets you break a common Genshin limitation – taking photos in Domains.
It’s perfect for players who enjoy in-game photography, storytelling, or just showing off cool scenes.
So, grab your Special Analysis Zoom Lens, bring Charlotte along, and explore the Domains like never before – this time, through a lens.
