Previously Photo Point Value Was Where You Had 3 Opportunities To Complete A Combined Total Objective To Move On.
NOW You Have 1 Opportunity To Complete The Objective With Your Days NOT Stacking Up, However Whatever Objective Photo Value You Received From The Day Will Be Transferred To Teams Bank Account As Currency.

Days Do NOT Replenish Upon Completion Of Headline!!!
If You Fail A Day And Succeed The Next, You Will Still Only Have 2 Chances Remaining.
You May Purchase "Press Cards" At The Shop Register To Increase Opportunities To Succeed, Press Cards Cost Half Your Objective Total!

Health Is Now A Purchasable Item, Whatever Health You Complete The Day With That Is The Health You Have And You Must Heal. If You Die, Upon Return You Will Have 50 Health Instead Of 100.

Duplicate Photos: Can Now Go Through Your Gallery And Delete Photos Off Your Camera To Ensure You Maximise Profits. There's Also A Screen Attached To The Helicopter Which Will Display Combined Photo Count And Tell You Important Information.
