App that can save presets/custom settings

I'd love to find an app that can save certain settings like my Canon EOS does with C1, C2, C3.

I want to make sure it saves shutter speed, ISO, f stop, CCT/kelvin for at least 2 situations with the same lighting (product photography) , and preferrably 3, so I don't need remember the settings.

Using Google to search is hopeless

Re: App that can save presets/custom settings

You might try Snap Camera HDR (Marginz) for that, also about the most cofigurable screen interface and HDR settings I know of. Not only the Dial custom but the standard mode screen toggles can all be changed. As usual with Android nobody can predict compatibility with a given brand or model - there are under the hood settings that can help with some issues. But it won't preserve your exact custom shutter, ISO or WB settings if you move off the Mode or restart the app, as far as I know - but in the Other Menu there is a Save Settings / Load Settings choice I haven't played with.

Note that the free download version 8.7.8 is old and the current paid upgrade to 8.10.4 is pretty dramatically improved, but the custom Mode presets are the same.

Thank you so much for your explanation. It's a pitty that it doesn't save any preconfigured settings. I will look into this, thank you very much!

You might look at ProShot - I'm not familiar with it, (got it free some time ago, when Play Store was offering developer giveaways) but it was unstable on my phone. It seems to be working well now.

Trying the last update it actually saves ISO, Shutter and WB between launches when a Manual (M) setting "Resume ON" button is activated. It also has Custon (C1, C2) presets, not sure what is saved with those. I haven't thrashed through its functions, or whether I like the unusual interface, but it might help you. There is a free Evaluator app to test phones, but I don't see a free trial version.
