Snapshots are photo spots around San Fierro: landmarks, signs, rooftops and statues. Each one is marked by a spinning camera icon that only shows through the camera’s viewfinder. Take a picture with the icon in view and it counts.
How snapshots work
Get a camera first. Several spawn around San Fierro near snapshot spots, and you keep one from Photo Opportunity. Go to the spot, switch to the camera, look around until the camera icon appears, zoom in and take the picture. Each photo pays $100 and shows a count. You can shoot an icon from far away and even through walls, as long as it shows in the viewfinder, which saves a lot of climbing.
Tips
Between midnight and 5am the spots glow pink, so you can see them without the camera. Night vision goggles show the glow at any hour. A helicopter or a fast bike speeds up the route, and many of the high spots, such as the Missionary Hill radio tower and the bridges, are easiest from the air.
