The reviewer also had some problems trying to download multiple images but ascribes this problem to the app, rather than the Wi-Fi stability.Ĭlick here to read a Google translated version of DCWatch's review
Eye fi microsd full#
The DCWatch review (as translated by Google) appears to suggest the adapter can act as something of a bottleneck, meaning you may not get the full speed of the MicroSD card you use.
Eye fi microsd upgrade#
The system allows you to swap inexpensive standard MicroSD cards, rather than buying multiple Wi-Fi cards, also allowing you to upgrade the speed or capacity of card without having to replace the Wi-Fi component.

The adapter communicated with smartphones via an Android or iOS app from where you can browse and download images from the camera. The adapter features a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter but, unlike rival FlashAir or Eye-Fi cards, does not feature any internal memory of its own - instead allowing you to swap MicroSD cards in and out. I could immediately review each shot and re-do any fails (eg bad exposure because original negative under/overexposed, annoyingly large dust particle) before removing the slide or negative from its holder.Japanese camera site DCWatch has reviewed the PQI Air Wi-Fi Micro-SD to SD adapter. Where immediate transfer of RAW images at home via Eye-Fi would be great is if I was copying slides or negatives using my camera and a macro lens. I wouldn't do this unless I knew I was carrying one or more charged spare batteries with me. I could though have images transferred to either device live in the field if I so desired to do an immediate review on a larger screen or show travelling companions, but battery life will take a hit. I tend to have the Eye-FI card transfer disabled while out and about as it is another load on the battery and then temporarily switch it on in the evenings where I am staying to do the transfers to phone or iPad. For what I want to use the Eye-Fi card for, this isn't an issue for me. What I don't think you can do is after image capture copy a RAW file in SD1 into SD2 ie have the same RAW file appear in SD2, although I don't have the K-3 with me right now to check.

This approach means I can use one or more large capacity SD card in SD1 while travelling yet not run out of capacity on the Eye-Fi card in SD2 as the small JPEGs really don't take up a lot of space. But even this ends up discarded in due course once I have done my RAW processing at home.

I have some basic photo editing software on the iPad which I occasionally use to edit a transferred JPEG before sharing. I can also re-process individual RAW files to JPEG and send save the resultant JPEGs to SD2 if I want to apply a different processing method or want a larger JPEG for some reason and then use Eye-Fi card to move them to another device. Occasionally I will use a few of the JPEGs as a guide for my RAW processing settings when I think the camera's JPEG engine has done a particularly good job of rendering the image.Īt home there isn't a whole lot of point in using Eye-Fi for transfers IMO as I think the transfer will proceed much quicker using a SD card reader either built into the computer or attached to a USB port rather than uisng the Eye-Fi's wifi networking. The JPEGs on the Eye-Fi card I eventually discard as my photo workflow is based around the RAW files.

When back home, I remove the card in SD1 and transfer all the RAW files to my PC for processing using an SD card slot in my computer.
Eye fi microsd portable#
Also, transferring RAW soon burns through the portable device storage which is a real issue if the device does not have a microSD slot (eg all Apple devices or some Android devices eg Nexus kit). It's great for portable devices as I do not need to carry any SD card adapters for either device and it neatly bypasses all the barbed wire Apple erects around its own vision of the garden of Eden. I use the Eye-Fi to transfer the JPEGs to my Android phone or iPad for review or sharing while I am on the road. Because I want to use the file transfer ability primarily while travelling, I set the JPEG size to something reasonably small and only of medium quality. I keep the Eye-Fi card in SD2 and a very fast SD card in SD1 (as the per image write sizes to this card are much larger than to the Eye-Fi card by a factor of 10x or so). The RAW is set to be saved on SD1 while the JPEG is saved to SD2.
