Dealing with Ghosts

Photographing ghosts with your Camera Obscura damages them.
The closer they are to you, and the more subjects you fit into the shot, the more damage they will receive.

Locking On

When a ghost is fixed within the center circle, holding the assigned button wil lock on to the ghost, keeping it in the center of the screen even if they move.

Shutter Chance

When five or more subjects are within frame, the capture area will turn red.
Taking a photo in this state will deal damage.

Fatal Frame

Sometimes the capture area will flash red in response to a ghost's movements. If you take a picture during this time, you'll deal major damage.
A successful Fatal Frame shot triggers Fatal Time, granting you the ability to take photos continuously for a period of time without using up film.

Shaking Off Ghosts

If a ghost grabs hold of you, shake them off by rapidly taking photos. If you aim your Camera Obscura just right, you can free yourself in one shot.
