When you get close to the caption (or any photo-worthy scene), a camera icon will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. Pressing the D-pad turns on the camera, then holding the left trigger brings it closer to your eye.

Then just frame the photo the way the game wants. Luckily you have a guide. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t explain this guide.

When looking through the viewfinder, you will see two sets of brackets: one slim and solid white, and the other blurry. Your goal is to get them both in line.
