All Camera Controls in Tiny Glade

Tiny Glade doesn't have any movement, but it does have a camera that players can control. As a 3D game, players can move the camera in almost all directions, though they are restricted by the limits of the glade that they're inhabiting. You can move the camera around in the glade, increase or decrease your zoom level, increase or decrease your height, and rotate your camera to get different perspectives. By default, the controls for the camera are as follows:

Move Around: Arrow Keys, Middle Mouse Button + Move Mouse Around
Rotate Camera: Right Mouse Button + Move Mouse Around
Move Up and Down: E to move up, Q to move down
Zoom in and Zoom Out: Mouse Wheel
Hotkeys: 1-9, T to change time, and P for Photo Mode

If these controls aren't working for you, navigate to your controls menu and reset them to the default settings. Press Esc to pause the game, and press the gear icon to open the settings menu of the game. Here, navigate to the Controls menu, and shift between one of six pages to see what controls you currently have.

You can change the rotation and movement speed here, and invert the X/Y axis if you want to.

How to Use Photo Mode in Tiny Glade

To open the photo mode in Tiny Glade, press P, or the camera icon in your hotbar. This will bring up a slew of options that you can tinker with to get the exact kind of picture you're looking for.

Name	Additional Options	Description
Photo Folder	--	Opens the game's photo folder on the player's computer.
Camera Types	House Camera	Gives a view of the house. The camera is slightly tilted to the ground. It gives players a good angle to take pictures from, but is a bit restrictive.
	Walking Camera	Gives the player control of a camera that can only move on the ground.
	Floating Camera	Gives the player control of a floating camera that can move around freely in the glade.
	Top-Down View	Gives a top-down view of the glade.
FOV	Fish Eye View	Only works for Walking and Floating Camera. Warps the view of the player to compensate for any parallax error.
FOV	Field of View/Zoom	Changes the level of zoom of the player's camera.
Aperture	Vignette	Adds a dark hue to the edge of the screen for more cinematic photos.
Aperture	Aperture Size	Makes the unfocused part of the screen more or less blurry.
Focus	--	Use Left Click to move the focus. Can be pinned to one spot. Change the size of the focus ring to bring a wider range of objects into focus. When the focus is placed, it brings that part of the screen into focus, and unfocuses the rest of it. Large rings mean more things in focus, while smaller rings let you pinpoint your focus to a specific area.
Camera Button		Click to take a picture.
Lighting Controls	Saturation	Higher saturation means brighter colors, while low saturation will give you a black and white look.
	Brightness	Controls the level of brightness of the environment.
	Exposure	Changes the level of light that the camera takes in. Higher exposure is good during the night, and lower exposure is good during the day.
Color Filters	--	Brings up a menu with a multitude of filters that are applied in real time to the player's screen.
Stylized Camera Filters	Oil Painting Mode	Creates an oil-painting-like look on the player's screen. It adds blobby artifacts that give the game a more stylized, painterly look.
	White Wash Mode	Gives all the land, buildings, and trees a whitewashed appearance, almost like they're made of white marble.
	See Through Trees	Makes trees see-through. If there are any trees in the way of the camera's line of sight, they will, partially or completely, fade away.
Time Dial	Change The Time	Changes the time of day. Upper half is morning, lower half is night.
Time Dial	Change the Sun's Direction	Changes the direction the sun sets in and rises from.

Tips for Taking Better Pictures in Tiny Glade

Having a good subject doesn't mean that you'll be able to take a good photo of that subject. You'll need to understand some basic principles of photography, and gain at least a surface level understanding of all the photography mechanics in the game to take good pictures. Here are some tips to get you started on that journey:

Research and use rules of composition to create interesting scenes: The rule of thirds, the golden ratio, leading lines, etc., are rules of composition that professional photographers use to make their photographs interesting and beautiful. Look into those very same rules to take engaging photographs in Tiny Glade as well.
Optimize the lighting and shadows: Change the position of the sun using the in-game settings to get the perfect lighting for your subject. Good lighting is key to a good photo.
Utilize the tools you have to your benefit and understand the camera settings: Try out everything in the toolbar to see how it interacts with the environment, and with itself. Understand what kind of photo you want to capture, and use your knowledge to make your vision a reality.
Use different settings for different scenes: One size never fits all, especially not when it comes to photography, whether it be in-game or in real life. Change the settings according to the time of day, the subject, and the kind of photograph you're shooting.
