8.PHOTO TRAVEL (GTPHO)
======================
Photo Travel is one of the new modes in Gran Turismo 4. You can take your car
to a location and position it along with the camera/camera angle to take a
dramatic shot of your vehicle.
*Your current vehicle will be the one that you can take pictures of. To take
pictures of a different one, you need to switch cars in the garage.*

General Info (Map)
------------
On the Map screen in Photo Travel, your car is represented by a red icon, while
the camera is a blue icon.
The red and blue areas on the map are where the car and camera can be moved,
respectively.
Select the car/camera with X and use the left analog to move them.
If an exclamation mark appears, then the car/camera cannot me moved to that
location.
Use the the right analog to rotate your car to the desired angle.
------------
General Info (Camera)
------------
The camera is always positioned at 45-degrees in front of the car.
The camera must always be moved in conjunction with the vehicle.
You can change the cropping of the photo between horizontal/vertical with the
icon in the upper right corner of the camera display.
There are bars showing the zoom level and aperture - when the photo subject is
still and everything else is out of focus/blurry; think af a picture of
wildlife where the background is blurry, the pics of a street at night when all
the cars turn into blurs of headlights, or a picture of an athlete where he/she
is the only discernable object. That is the effect of low aperture. A high
aperture is like taking a normal photo. (Basically, aperture is how much light
the camera lens lets in, and a higher setting allows you to utilize a faster
shutter speed.)
At the bottom of the screen is a row of photo shooting screen options(more on
this later). Here you can change filters, focus, etc.
--------------------
Adjusting the Camera
--------------------
On the Camera display are buttons for Camera Direction, Camera Tilt, Camera
Position, and Camera height. Use these to move and adjust the camer to get the
perfect angle.
-----------------------------
Photo Shooting Screen Options
-----------------------------
The first button is for adjusting the steering angle of your car up to 30
degrees to either side(thanks to VampireHorde's FAQ for this info).
The second button is for changing filters.
The third is Photo Mode option.
Photo Mode option lets you change the image resolution, focus, screen aspect
ratio, and shutter sounds.
-------------
Taking/Saving
-------------
Press the 'shoot' button to take the photo. The image will then be switched to
a full screen view.
You can now press circle to save the photo, or use R1/L1 to zoom in and out.
Or you can press the Square button to go back.
