How To Get Photograph Emote (Patch 7.18) in Final Fantasy XIV

One of the most enjoyable aspects of *Final Fantasy XIV*'s social scene is the wide array of emotes players can use to interact. This guide explains how to obtain the fun Photograph emote.

As part of a collaboration with Fujifilm Instax, *Final Fantasy XIV*'s Patch 7.18 introduced a free, unique emote: "Photograph." This charming emote lets you simulate taking pictures anywhere in Eorzea.

Unlike many emotes locked behind quests or purchases, "Photograph" is automatically available in your Emote menu after downloading Patch 7.18. No level or expansion is required.

How To Use the Photograph Emote in FFXIV

To use it, open your Emote menu (under the "Social" tab), find "Photograph" (usually under "General"), and press it. Your character will take a Polaroid-style picture. Add it to your Favorites for easy access.

The Photograph emote is a standard, non-continuous emote, but it's versatile. Use it underwater (like in the Ruby Sea), on mounts (both grounded and flying), or to create fun, dynamic poses. Patch 7.18 precedes the larger Patch 7.2 (late March), bringing new dungeons, the return to Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and more.
