Once in the system menu, select photo mode. This will immediately pull up photo mode in third-person view. Unfortunately, you can’t access photo mode in mid-air to get some sweet aerial shots. Once in photo mode, you will get a list of all the button options to hide the UI, ascend/descend, rotate, and reset the camera.
