Introducing FoCal Snapshots: the ultimate app for capturing, preserving and customising your Nikon camera settings! Now you can quickly and easily configure hundreds of settings on your camera at the tap of a screen.
Introduction
Are you tired of manually noting down your camera settings or constantly adjusting your device to recreate the perfect shot? Say hello to Snapshots, a new app that’s here to change the game for photographers.
Snapshots is an innovative app, based on the FoCal Pro (Desktop) Snapshots feature and designed to capture your camera’s settings, allowing you to edit and adjust them as you please, and then effortlessly restore them to your camera. Say goodbye to the tedious process of remembering or replicating settings – Snapshots is here to make your photography sessions more efficient and enjoyable than ever.
FoCal Snapshots Features
Capture Your Camera Settings with Ease
With Snapshots, you can easily capture your camera’s settings – basic settings such as ISO, aperture, shutter speed, but also far more in depth details such as custom white balance configurations, autofocus tracking priorities and image aberration correction options.
The app automatically detects your camera’s model, ensuring that it captures all the relevant settings and interprets them in the right way for a seamless experience.
Edit and Adjust Settings with Precision
FoCal Snapshots’ intuitive interface allows you to edit and fine-tune your camera settings to your heart’s content.
Experiment with different configurations to find the perfect balance for your desired shot, without the hassle of manual adjustments. Changes on the screen are automatically reflected on the camera in real-time, and any changes on the camera show up on your mobile device too.
Restore Settings to Your Camera Effortlessly
Once you’ve achieved the perfect setup, Snapshots makes it incredibly simple to restore the settings to your camera.
Just connect your device to the app, tap the button and the customised settings will be synced in no time, allowing you to focus on capturing stunning images.
Share Your Settings with Others
Snapshots also enables you to share your preferred settings with fellow photographers. Whether you’re working on a collaborative project or simply want to help someone else achieve the same shooting experience, Snapshots makes it easy to share your creative vision.
Snapshots can be shared between Apple (iOS/iPadOS) and Android, as well as with FoCal Pro on Windows and Mac
Compatible with Nikon DSLR and Mirrorless cameras
Snapshots is designed to work seamlessly on both Apple and Android devices and with a wide range of Nikon cameras – including all the latest mirrorless Z cameras – ensuring that you can enjoy its benefits regardless of your equipment.
We’ll be expanding the set of Nikon cameras supported in the near future, and will be looking to support other manufacturers.
Snapshots Premium Features
Great news: The full set of Premium features in Snapshots is available free of charge to all FoCal Pro (Desktop) license holders who are within their support period! So if you’ve bought FoCal or an update within the last 12 months, all you need to do is sign in to the app through the FoCal Account option in the menu and you’re good to go.
The app is free to download and lets you verify capture of Snapshots from your camera, giving you the opportunity to check camera connection adapters and general functionality with some demo. If you don’t have an active FoCal Pro (Desktop) license, you can purchase a subscription to the Snapshots Premium features from within the app itself.
If you’ve been a FoCal Pro user in the past, you can renew your support which gives you another year of FoCal Pro (Desktop) updates and access to the full Snapshots Premium features for not much more than the cost of the Snapshots Premium yearly subscription.

If I have a saved settings file from a Nikon Z6 (NCSET002.BIN) stored on my computer, can I load it into FoCal Snapshots directly from my computer, or does Snapshots require a connection to the camera?
I am asking because I no longer have the Z6, but was hoping to use your Snapshots app to see the settings I had used on it.
The Nikon .BIN files are in a completely undocumented proprietary binary format, and it’s not something that’s used in FoCal. The Snapshots tool captures setting information over USB rather than using the BIN files. If you know someone with a Z6 and FoCal, you could get them to load your .BIN file into their camera and then capture a Snapshot and send it over to you, then you’ll be able to see the settings. (Note that Snapshots doesn’t capture quite as many settings as are present in the .BIN file as not all are available from the camera over USB).
