# Exact settings screenshots beside the result photo

A culture and creative format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/culture-and-creative/exact-settings-screenshots-beside-the-result-photo

A slideshow that pairs a finished photo with cropped, unedited screenshots or overlays of the exact camera or editing settings. It worked for 8 accounts, with a median of 14x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Slideshow.

## Why it works

Viewers swipe at their own pace and save the post to copy the numbers. 'Steal my [device] recipe' framing also makes an expensive look feel reachable.

## How to make it

1. Put the result photo on slide 1 or 2
2. Add one slide, or an overlay, per setting or slider with the real numbers
3. Name the look in the hook, e.g. 'Fuji recipe' or 'moody'

## Hook formula

Steal my [device] '[aspirational brand]' recipe

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
