Updating. To make the update, erase the old file and install the new one. It is recommended to breakdown your camera in a workbench or it will disappear! (And you will need to create a new Merge!) ThreeVersions. Now there are there main versions, a normal but updated one (required for new patches), a hidden crosshair (might have incapability issues) and another hidden crosshair compatible with project Nevada dynamic crosshair and DFB Dynamic Crosshair.
Cameraallowed in casinos. A patch that modifies some scripts to make this weapon allowed inside the casinos (Binoculars as well), this is not incorporated to make the mod as compatible as possible, however only mods that affect the casinos script could cause problem and I don’t think it’s very likely.
New CoitoErgoSum patch. There is nochanges, only this one will work on the new version.
What it does? This mod adds a new weapon to the game, the 35mm Codac, this weapon will take screenshots when fired, and this weapon can also enter CAMERA MODE, a mode that will make your screenshots HUD clean. Also you can take screenshots during dialog, inside terminals and when you are in a VATS cutscene (this last three options doesn’t need you to have the camera equipped). This is useful if your keyboard doesn’t have the ImpressPant Key or you play with Xpadder. (controller does not work http://www.giantbomb.com/fallout-4/3030-49833forums/on-pc-with-a-360-controller-cant-seem-to-take-scre-1785990/ )
Get the Camera. To get this item all you need is to have a normal camera item (junk item) and use the recipe at any workbench.
CAMERA MODE. To enter CAMERA MODE all you need to do is press the aim/block key (right click or alt by default), this mode will disable your movement controls, you can control your camera like normal, but you will stand st
Working Camera lets you repair all in-game photographic cameras at a workbench, restoring them to working condition. This enables taking screenshots in various modes, including dialog, terminals, and VATS, and is useful for players whose keyboards lack a screenshot key.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and practical fix for a common annoyance—no more missing screenshot key.
- Works across multiple game modes (dialog, terminals, VATS), so you can capture any moment.
- Lightweight mod with 121 endorsements and over 3,000 downloads, showing it's been useful to many players.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Only affects cameras; if you're looking for broader screenshot tools, this is a niche solution.
For Fallout 4 players who want an in-game way to take screenshots without relying on external tools or keyboard shortcuts. Also for those who enjoy immersive role-playing by repairing and using the world's cameras. Skip if you're fine with standard screenshot keys or want more advanced camera controls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, just download with the manager and deploy—no manual steps needed.
- After installing, look for a workbench in the world (e.g., in settlements) to repair cameras; you'll need the required materials.
- Test the screenshot feature in different modes (dialog, terminals, VATS) to see if it works as described, since the mod is old and may have quirks.
