Camera
Kris! Take a photo!
Ralsei, Chapter 3
The camera (JP: カメラ) is an item in the Island Board of The Legend of Tenna in Deltarune. It is obtained on a pedestal in the Kodakoda Shrine. It gives the ability to take pictures, which allows removing or revealing certain objects, and freezing certain enemies.
The camera reappears as a free item in the shop of the unused City Board. It also appears in the area on one of the screens in the parental lock rooms.
For any 12×8-tile screen of the game board, a photo is 4×3 tiles in size. The frame around where the photo will be taken can be moved around the screen in increments of half a tile.
Photos of specific entities give POINTs, although normally POINTs are only awarded once per entity. Taking a photo of a sniper defeats them and taking a photo of their bullets destroys the bullets; photos can be taken of snipers and bullets to earn POINTs and unlimited number of times. The gray rectangle left behind by taking a photo acts as a barrier that protects against projectiles.
The camera is used to obtain at least 3 Grand Photos in order to obtain access to the magic raft and reach the ocean.
Taking a picture of Lancer's price tag with the camera lowers the price from 999 to 9 or 99 POINTs. Taking a picture of a camera block is required to walk past it. A picture also reveals pupils in the Shuttah eyelash rings.
There are reactions from the party for taking photos of Kris, Susie, and Ralsei in the room where the camera is obtained. Ralsei poses whenever his photo is taken. Susie only poses when her photo is taken in the room containing the camera, and the room with the Shuttah encounter.

The camera is not able to be used in most game boards in TV World. However, in the third parental lock room in Cold Place, the camera can be collected. Taking pictures with it shows a grid of zeroes in the picture frame instead of a grayscale version of the picture. This hints at the passcode, which is a string of zeroes.
vacationmemories.pngIn the PC versions, the most recently taken photo is kept in Deltarune's Save Data directory, as the file vacationmemories.png. This image depicts the area that was photographed in-game, surrounded by a paper frame.

- The camera's ability to delete bullets by taking photos of them may be a reference to a game in the Touhou series, Touhou Bunkachou ~ Shoot the Bullet, which features a similar mechanic.
