For example, if one enemy in a group is sneak-killed with a bow, the others are alerted and react in normal speed, while the Dragonborn is stuck in a slow movement animation. There are disadvantages, especially if the Dragonborn prefers sneaking and ranged attacks. Slow motion kill camera is an exciting feature at first but then the novelty wears off. A strong pressure of the attack trigger while fighting a weaker or almost killed opponent will often activate a Kill Camera.While in Vampire Lord form and exclusively on foot, keeping the attack trigger pressed on a weaker enemy will often result in a Power Bite even if there are more opponents on the radar.Note that the opponent must have less than half of their life points. Performing a Power Attack (by pressing the corresponding attack trigger) while the opponent is off-guard or about to attack the player will activate a special Kill Camera.Special One-handed or Two-Handed fight perks must be unlocked.The opponent must be the last enemy on the radar.Kill Cameras are random most of the time, but some particular conditions will enable them: A backstab attack with the Assassin's Blade perk will often produce full-health finishers. It is possible to use a Kill Camera on a person with full health, but requires the opponent to be vastly outclassed in comparison to the player. Some Kill Cameras can only be performed if certain DLC's are installed. In addition, certain One-Handed Kill Cameras can only be performed if a shield is equipped. Certain One-Handed Kill Cameras cannot be performed while dual-wielding. Wielding a One-Handed weapon and a spell does not void one's ability to perform a Kill Camera. In addition, Werewolf or Vampire Lord finishers can also be executed.

Kill Cameras can be performed with almost all weapons and even bare fists. Killing an enemy while sneaking and remaining undetected will allow a Kill Camera, even if there are more enemies present. Kill Cameras will only be performed if killing the enemy will take the player out of the combat mode. Likewise, the same can happen if a poisoned weapon is used. If an enchanted weapon is used, its enchantment will be displayed as well. For instance, striking an enemy from the flank or behind produces different finishers than a strike met head-on. Kill Cameras also depend on the position of the enemy in relation to the player character, upon attacking. While performing a Kill Camera, a short animation is played, making the Dragonborn vulnerable to attack and unable to carry out any other task for a couple of seconds until the animation has played through.
