As you progress through Viewfinder, the levels get more and more challenging. In particular, players who approach the end of the game in Chapters 4 and 5 will see some of the puzzles become absolutely mind-bending. One puzzle I had a lot of trouble getting through in my first playthrough was Chapter 4 Level 3.1. Here's how I (eventually) got through it.
How to complete Chapter 4 Level 3.1 in Viewfinder
Chapter 4 takes place in Mirren's Lab. When walking into the building, look to the left. There is a staircase heading upward; the teleporter to get to Chapter 4 Level 3.1 will be at the top of the stairs. It is an optional challenge, so the teleporter will shake around a little bit.

The battery is locked inside of a cage made of purple stuff, meaning the cage can't be photographed. There is one extra photo on a pillar where you can reach it, and there is a planet collectible for Chapter 4 on the left.
- Since you only have one photo, you'll need to make it count—take a photo that has both the extra photo and the battery in it
- Next, place the photo, then pick up one of the copies of the extra photo
- Take another photo of the extra photo and the battery, and place it again
- Repeat this process until you have four batteries
- Place the batteries on the teleporter's charging pad, then use the teleporter to finish the level
