Introduction
There are three types of media in the game. Photos, Video, and Audio. You can document various paranormal happenings with these methods. While not required to ID the ghost they are very worth filling in as many as possible as they increase the pay out of the investigation and are required to get the perfect game bonus.

In order to get a perfect game you must fulfill the following requirements.

  • You must accurately ID the ghost
  • Take 5 unique photos
  • Record 5 unique videos
  • Record 3 unique Audio recordings
  • Complete the 3 optional objectives
  • and find and collect the bone placed somewhere randomly on the map.

Each form of media can record things that would make sense for them to count toward. For instance a photo can't track movement so it won't count taking a photo of a thrown object, but a video would count for something thrown. Below I have listed all the things I am aware of that count towards the various media types. If I missed something feel free to let me know in the comments below.

For some of the media you may need to drop a piece of equipment on the ground then swap to the media tool needed in order to get the media needed.

@azrik yes, I've been using the tier II thermometer while I level up and I'm able to take the picture each time, I know that's there's been some difficulties with people using Fahrenheit, but they just patched that

@CoderCollie really? I've had issues getting it to work. It is possible I just did something wrong though.
