Read full descriptionHide full description
FX Preset Manager has a simple UI that lets you capture and retrieve your film simulation presets for supported FujiFilm cameras. The UI is designed for fast entry and retrieval to keep you doing what you love, taking photographs. Supports light and dark modes so you can keep that night vision for astrophotography or low-light situations and not draw attention to yourself. Go beyond the limited in-camera preset storage by carrying your favorite presets in your pocket, ready to transfer* to the camera. *Requires manual entry due to camera software limitations.
