Using Camp Shades Filters with the Camp Snap 2 (v201)

The Camp Snap 2 filter system

The Camp Snap 2 takes a different approach to filters compared to the v103 and v105. Instead of loading a single filter file at a time, the Camp Snap 2 has six dedicated filter slots built in. You fill those slots once, and from then on you can switch between all six looks directly on the camera — no computer needed each time you want a different look.

The only catch is that each filter file needs to be named exactly right to match the slot it lives in. The six slot names are:

• S.flt — Standard
• A.flt — Analogue
• V1.flt — Vintage 1
• V2.flt — Vintage 2
• V3.flt — Vintage 3
• Bw.flt — Black & White

Assigning your filters to slots

Once you've downloaded your custom filters, you'll have a collection of .flt files. Before copying them to your camera, rename each one to match the slot you want it in.

For example, if you wanted the Camp ShadesExpired filter in the Vintage 1 slot and Cafe Latte in the Black & White slot, you'd rename them like this:

• Expired.flt → V1.flt
• Cafe Latte.flt → Bw.flt

There's no rule about which filter has to go in which slot — that's entirely up to you. The slot names are just labels so the camera knows which is which when you're switching between them.

Installation

1. Download your Camp Shades filter files
2. Rename each filter file to match the slot you want it in (see above)
3. Connect your Camp Snap 2 to your computer with a USB-C cable — it will appear as a connected device called 'CAMPSNAP'
4. Copy your renamed filter files to the root of the device (the top level, not inside any folder)
5. Eject the camera and disconnect
6. Turn it on and get shooting

You don't have to fill every slot — load as many or as few as you like.

Removing filters

To go back to the camera defaults, just connect your Camp Snap 2 to your computer and delete the filter files from the root of the device. Once you eject and power back on, the camera will fall back to its built-in defaults automatically.

If you haven't picked up your Camp Shades filters yet, the Essentials Collection is a great place to start — seven filters covering B&W, vintage, colour and film looks, giving you plenty to fill all six slots with.
