Klenov's Brain Pic Thread - Narodnaya Solyanka mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

According to the instructions, the camera is supposed to tell me when the angle is right. But nothing happens. I've tried moving around the control room while looking through the camera, and not looking through. I have all my weapons in my backpack. I've even tried outside the control room. I've also tried breaking the glass with a gauss. I went on to Yantar and didn't get any message until after I shot the controller.

I got stuck here, too. The target is actually slightly above the brain. If you use the binoculars they will highlight the spot you need to point the camera at. It doesn't work on the controller though so you'll have to guess which controller to shoot if there happens to be more than one. I think this technique is mentioned when you read the note by the camera at the Wish Granter but you don't get a tutorial for this specific camera until later. Kinda weird but there it is. I didn't figure this out on my own btw. Credit goes to Wutdazog and Hipsterdoofus for getting me out of this jam.

I got the same problem first too, and it was because the target was dead for some reason (blue dot on the minimap). I reloaded a save from before entering x16, and then it worked. As mike said, use the binocs, it will highlight the target as an enemy NPC.

Got it. Thanks for the tip. Silly me for trying to take a picture of the brain...you know...like the task says.

edit: Well, Chernomor's instructions would have been more useful at the start of the whole photo-pistol thing.
