How To Wirelessly Import Photos To Lightroom + Instant Preset Without Touching Your Computer

Martin Wong ·

Key takeaways

  • The setup. Viltrox workshop with Abel (from 0:22).
  • Part A: wireless. Z8 broadcasts Wi-Fi (from 3:00).
  • RAW stays on card. JPEGs go to laptop (from 5:00).
  • Part B: auto import. Watch the JPEG folder (from 6:00).
  • Part C: auto preset. Portrait preset on import (from 7:00).

This is the best way to instantly show off your photos the way you envisioned (automatically apply preset) at a workshop without using a tether cable, and I demonstrated this recently at the Viltrox Workshop I hosted with Abel!
