Once you have downloaded and activated your X2 card via Eye-Fi Center you can make use of the mobile applications developed for iOS and Android devices. With the help of an Eye-Fi card inside of a digital camera you can automatically add images to your computer or mobile device, be it a smartphone or tablet, via wireless connections.

Meanwhile, the Eye-Fi X2 Pro is working well in other SDHC based cameras such as the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V and the Canon SD4000is.Eye-Fi Center is a small software program designed specifically for helping you manage your Eye-Fi account and files stored on an Eye-Fi card. I’ll be testing other CF cameras out as I get access to them. I would imagine the other Eye-Fi X2 cards work as well, and that they work in the Canon 5D MKII as well has other DSLRs. Of course if there’s WiFi at the location, you don’t need to be in Direct Mode (the ad-hoc network) and can send the images even faster by going directly to the Internet from the camera where a client could be reviewing the shoot in progress. This could also work well for client previews. You can take the picture with your DSLR, transfer it quickly to your iPhone, crop and adjust the image, and then upload to Facebook over 3G, or pretty much anywhere with any number of apps and services.
Imagine being somewhere and having that perfect scene for a nice Facebook profile update. If you think about the workflow here for a second, it’s really pretty cool. You can use this app to crop and apply all kinds of effects before uploading to wherever you’d like. All of this can also be manually or semiautomatically set up.Ī nice companion app would be Adobe Photoshop Express, also free in iTunes. This also includes having them sent via FTP to your blog or website. You can set up your social networks and photo services like Facebook and Flickr with your Eye-Fi account, so images can go directly from your camera to your iPhone and then over 3G be sent automatically to the sites you want. The Eye-Fi app is multitask and push enabled, which means you can have images stream over to your iOS device automatically, and get little badge alerts when they arrive. Images that get transferred show up in the Eye-Fi iOS app and in the “Camera Roll” photo album. Pictures transfer really fast over 802.11n between the Eye-Fi and your iOS device, but will also transfer just fine over 802.11b/g. Better yet, the Eye-Fi app is free for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The Direct Mode of of the Eye-Fi works great, and is really easy to set up if you understand the basics of what an ad-hoc network is.
#EYE FI SETUP 1080P#
The SDHC Eye-Fi card has a max speed of 6MB/s (48mbps), which is too slow for 1080p on the Canon 7D, but plenty fast for taking pictures (either not in burst mode, or for short bursts). Hopefully this clears up some confusion, especially when it comes to what’s needed in a Compact Flash Adapter.
I’ve seen numerous comments from others saying the Eye-Fi won’t work in the Canon 7D, or other DSLRs that are CF based. Not all adapters are created equal, and this one appears to be pretty fast, and doesn’t block the WiFi signal.
I think the key to making this work is the adapter. SD/SDHC/SDXC to High-Speed Extreme UDMA mode CF Type II Adapter support 16/32GB and over 64GB Sells for under $15. However, the latest Eye-Fi cards do work with proper SD/CF adapters in CF based DSLR cameras, at least the set of items I have work fine:Ĭanon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR CameraĮye-Fi Pro X2 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Wireless Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-8PC

For years now, it’s been unfortunate that Eye-Fi doesn’t make a Compact Flash (CF) version of their Eye-Fi camera cards for professional DSLR cameras that lack the consumer appropriate SD card slots.
