Those are notable effects that you can add to the photos you take. Of course, you still have access to other alterations like film grain, vignette, brightness, etc. Use these to enhance your images as much as you want.
How to access photo mode
To access photo mode, you will first want to access the menu and scroll over to the system tab like in the image below.
Once in the system menu, select photo mode. This will immediately pull up photo mode in third-person view. Unfortunately, you can’t access photo mode in mid-air to get some sweet aerial shots. Once in photo mode, you will get a list of all the button options to hide the UI, ascend/descend, rotate, and reset the camera.
