How To Get Photograph Emote (Patch 7.18) in Final Fantasy XIV
One of the most delightful aspects of *Final Fantasy XIV*'s social scene is the incredible array of emotes players use to connect. This guide shows you how to obtain the charming Photograph emote.

As part of a collaboration with Fujifilm Instax, *Final Fantasy XIV*'s Patch 7.18 introduced this free emote. The "Photograph" emote lets you simulate taking pictures anywhere in Eorzea.
Unlike many emotes requiring quests or purchases, the "Photograph" emote 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 snap a Polaroid-style picture. Add it to your Favorites for easy access.
While not continuous or suitable for AFK activities, the emote is versatile, working underwater (like the Ruby Sea) and even while mounted (grounded or flying). It's perfect for creating fun, memorable moments with your characters.
Patch 7.18 precedes the larger Patch 7.2 (late March), bringing new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and more.
This concludes our guide on obtaining the Photograph emote in *Final Fantasy XIV*. See our other *FFXIV* content, including our guide to the Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event rewards.
Final Fantasy XIV is available now.
