This feature is currently unavailable on Xbox.
 +
 
 +
====Windows, Mac, and Linux====
 +
[[File:CameraButton.png|right]]
 +
Clicking the camera button takes a screenshot of the entire map the player's character is currently in. The default zoom is 25% of original size, but can be changed via plus/minus buttons to 50%, 75%, or 100%. The default save location is:
 +
*'''Windows:''' <samp>%appdata%\StardewValley\Screenshots</samp>
 +
*'''Mac and Linux:''' <samp>~/.local/share/StardewValley/Screenshots</samp>
 +
*'''Flatpak:''' <samp>~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/StardewValley/Screenshots</samp>
 +
 
 +
Clicking the screenshot button the first time creates a new folder called "Screenshots" and adds a button to open the folder directly from options.
 +
 
 +
Macs: note that due to a game bug, you may need to create the folder yourself. To do so, open the "Terminal" application and type <samp>mkdir -p ~/.local/share/StardewValley/Screenshots</samp>. <!--1.6 note: this bug was fixed -->
 +
 
 +
You can also use this feature with the chat command <samp>/mapscreenshot</samp>. The command will let you specify filename and percentage as well, for example <samp>/mapscreenshot image01 100</samp>.
 +
 
 +
====PlayStation, Switch, and Mobile====
 +
Clicking the screenshot button takes a screenshot of the entire map the player's character is currently in. Screenshots are saved to the following locations:
