Sure, I'll paste in how to do it the correct way from the manual... lol

Photo Recon Mission
The Photo Recon mission takes advantage of a submarine's ability to approach a target (hopefully) undetected, gather valuable intelligence, and escape.
You are assigned to Photo Recon missions in campaigns via a radio transmission. In addition to the radio message a red "T" icon appears on the chart screen over the facilities to be photographed. In order to successfully complete a Photo Recon Mission the sub must move close enough to the target area. A "red" light, located in the TBT or Periscope viewing area will indicate the sub is close enough to take a picture. The "TAB" key is used to take the photograph. You know the mission has been accomplished when the "T" icon disappears from the chart screen; this is accompanied by a voice and text message stating "Mission completed, sir." Scoring - Each completed Photo Recon mission is worth 500 points at the 100% realism setting. NOTE: Photo Recon missions can only be accomplished during daylight hours. It is best to remain completely zoomed out (1x) in order to locate the area that needs to be photographed.

I always tried to sneak in close, sometimes past the Destroyers and PC's patrolling while moving in toward the red light viewable from the periscope or TBT but 99% the scope. Close is a couple thousand yards. Recons are fun to do and rewarding too.
Happy Hunting!
