Detail

How it works

If your camera body or lens is not in the bundled database, you can add it yourself. Tap the Lens picker or Camera Body picker, then tap Add custom lens or Add custom camera body.

What to enter

For a custom lens: name, focal length, widest and narrowest aperture, shutter type (leaf or focal-plane), and filter thread size. For a body: name, fastest and slowest shutter speeds, flash sync speed, and whether it supports Bulb.

Saving it

Once you fill in the form and tap Save, your custom gear is added to your profile. It will appear in the picker alongside the bundled lenses and bodies.

Using custom gear

Your custom gear works exactly like built-in gear. It clamps the wheels, appears in presets, and is part of any profile you save.
