Ever wanted to zoom in more or get the perfect angle on your photos in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Well, starting with the 2.0 update, you can. If you want to get new features for your game camera, such as handheld mode, you'll need the Pro Camera app. However, the app does not automatically update when you update the game. In fact, you will have to purchase it.



Buy the Pro Camera app

You can purchase the Pro Camera app at the Nook Stop for 1 Nook Miles. It's available in the Redeem Nook Miles menu and will be until you purchase it. Once you purchase the app, your camera will be immediately upgraded to the Pro camera. There is no delay.

Using the professional camera

Once you have a Pro camera, every time you open your camera, the Pro camera is automatically activated. It can do everything the old camera could do, and more. The main difference is that you can use it in three different modes: Bird's-Eye, Handheld and Tripod.


You can switch between these three modes with the - button. Bird's Eye is the basic view you know from the game, Handheld is essentially a first-person mode, and Tripod lets you get into your shots up close and personal. You can also tilt your angles and capture your shots with more versatility and precision than ever before.
