If you're the proud owner of a brand new Genshin Impact Kamera, well lucky you. But that's not just because you've got some fancy tech to help you capture the beautiful open world of Teyvat: You've also got a guide right here to help you use it in the new Genshin Impact Five Flushes of Fortune event.
The event, which kicked off at the same time as the Genshin Impact 1.3 update, sees you photographing various items across the world with the Kurious Kamera. First you'll need to find a Genshin Impact red item to snap, but it's not entirely clear how to use the camera or make sure it's shot correctly. So, for everything you need to know about the Genshin Impact Kamera event, let's get started.
Genshin Impact Five Flushes of Fortune: Everything you need to know
Along with the Genshin Impact Xiao banner, Five Flushes of Fortune started on February 3. The event lasts for ten days until February 13 and you'll need to be at least rank 20 or above to take part.
You'll be taking pictures of items of various colours over the first seven days—in exchange for Genshin Impact Primogems, Hero's Wit, and Mystic Enchantment Ore—but for the last three the Kurious Kamera will be unusable. In those final days you can still trade photos with friends to ensure you get all the available rewards. You can see how long you have left and swap photos in the in-game events tab.

Anyway, when you're near one of the items you've been instructed to capture, click left-mouse button to get it out and then aim it at your target. You'll know if it's worked as you'll get a new items added to your inventory named something like 'Photo: Crimson'.
