The Otto-Shot Camera is a gadget Raz can obtain in Psychonauts 2. It is needed to access Camera Mode, which allows players to pose Raz to take screenshots. The camera was designed by Otto Mentallis with the purpose to take "photographic memories" whenever the user desires. The camera can also be used to find hard-to-see figments using the purchasable Otto-Shot filter.
Description[]
The Otto-Shot Camera is a mostly green and brown rectangular instant camera. It has a color spectrum on the front that gradients from red to blue, and an attached lanyard using the same colors.
Filters[]

Filters can be bought to stylize photographs taken with the Otto-Shot. Filters can be bought at any Otto-Matic machine. Each filter costs 75 arrowheads. The Otto-Spot filter only becomes available once Raz becomes a Junior Psychonaut at the end of the game.

Trivia[]
- The Otto-Shot Camera most resembles a classic Polaroid instant camera, complete with the similar color spectrum design. While Polaroid cameras featured a rainbow, Otto Mentallis' invention has a color spectrum that goes from red to blue.
- Otto's red-to-blue color spectrum may represent colors that are invisible to the naked eye, going from infrared to ultraviolet.
- Some characters have a reaction to being photographed with the camera.
- Raz can use his camera almost everywhere and anytime, even during drastic transitions from one area to the other. However, there are certain parts of the game, where the Otto-Shot camera cannot be used. In those instances, Raz will read "Error 2236114 Psychic interference":
- In Bob's mind, the camera will not work right before entering the Motherlobe. It will also refuse to work when Raz carries a Bulb Bob on his way to Truman's office.
- He cannot use it shortly after getting Mental Projection, right before the second encounter with Enablers.
- The camera cannot be used while Raz is on the ride in Gristol's mind.
- Right at the end of Loboto's Labyrinth, at the top of the tower.
- Right before entering Helmut's mouth in Bob's Bottles.
- For some reason, whenever Raz activates the camera while carrying a Bulb Bob, it cannot get close to them.
