An optional “Title” can be given to the lens, this is a way of identifying the lens when multiple individual versions of the same lens have been added. 

Choose “Select File” to open up a file picker to select the relevant lens file 

:::hint{type="warning"}
It is not possible to directly upload a lens file to the Origin. The lens file should be uploaded via a browser window on a remote device
:::

After pressing “Add manual calibrated lens”, the lens will be displayed with a yellow notification signifying that it should be “refine” before it should be used. All manually imported lenses will display (Imported) in their title to help identify them.
