Photographing the shop with the phone camera

How the phone camera and the photo gallery work in TCG Card Shop Simulator, given that the phone has a take-photo mode, the shot is framed on a grid, and the picture ends up in a gallery you can open.

Applies to

no version stated by this build (see the sources page)

Before you start

• A phone in hand
• Something worth photographing
• A moment the shop can spare

Steps

1. Enter the take-photo mode deliberately rather than looking for a button in the world.
   the phone can be put into a take-photo mode and back out of it
2. Frame the shot on the grid and its centre mark.
   the shot is framed on a grid that has a centre mark of its own
3. Watch the camera screen rather than the shop while you are framing.
   the camera has its own screen, which opens and closes
4. Listen for the shutter, and expect a different one on a pad.
   taking the picture has a sound of its own, with a version for the pad
5. Go to the gallery to see the picture, and open it full screen.
   a picture can be opened full screen in a gallery and closed again

Common mistakes

• Leaving the phone in take-photo mode and then wondering why the controls changed.
• Framing off the centre mark and losing the subject out of the shot.
• Looking for the picture in the shop instead of in the gallery.
