Toshiba FlashAir W-04 32 GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card

Im using this with my canon 700D. At first the WIFI was painfully unstable, to a point where I don’t want to use the WIFI on the card instead just wanted to use the card as a normal SD card. I’m talking like every 30 sec it gets disconnected. But it tunes out in the camera there is a setting which tell the camera to go to sleep 30sec if idle. I guess the cards WIFI gets shut down, when there is not enough power. So, I set the to sleep time to 4 min (depending on the need I guess you can set it to whatever minutes you like, provided your camera allows it). The speed on the card is good. It transfers 4.5MB (Jpeg) photos in about 2 or 3 second when its close the devise its being uploaded to. The companion software (FlashAire) can be downloaded in google play store. It’s simple to use. Setting up for the 1st time may be challenging, if you are not much into tech. Then again you can ask a 12-year-old to do it for you.

I use Toshiba Flashair cards with my Sony A7R iv and A7R iii to wire small JPEGs to an iPad in real time while shooting portraits--and they work really well. If, like me, you were hoping to use the A7R iv's advertised ability to wirelessly tether to a MacBook, you'll probably have been as frustrated as I was to discover that the simply horrible Imaging Edge Remote software refuses to shake hands with your new camera wirelessly, since it always thinks a camera is already connected via USB! (So far, Sony have failed to fix this bug.) The workaround, if you also use an iPad and have clients who like to see your images in real time, is to purchase a Toshiba FlashAir card for your A7R iv camera (or A7r iii) and a subscription to ShutterSnitch for your iPad. Then you can shoot RAW to a fast card in Slot 1 and small lowest-quality JPEGs to Toshiba FlashAir card in Slot 2, which will show up nice and fast on your iPad. As some buyers have stated, getting the FlashAir card configured correctly to begin is somewhat challenging. Partly this is because the Toshiba/Kioxia software is pretty clunky, but mainly it's because, if you follow the weblink printed in the current manual to download the software you'll be taken to a page in Japanese! A better idea is to enter 'Flash Air Configuration Software' in your favourite Search Engine, and with luck you'll end up on the right web page. Download and install the relevant software on your PC or Mac and, when you've connected the new FlashAir card via an SD card reader, make sure to turn "EyeFi Connected Card" to "On" in the Settings, and also make sure you've selected the max timeout value of 30 minutes. Just one more slight hiccup to deal with: when insert your FlashAir card in your camera, turn on the camera and fire a few test images, the FlashAircard will start transmitting a signal that your iPad will detect. Connect to the card's ad hoc wifi network and enter the password 12345678, launch ShutterSnitch, enable FlashAir card connectivity in the ShutterSnitch settings, create a new collection and ShutterSnitch will recognize that a FlashAir card wants to start sending images to your iPad. And then you'll panic . . . because nothing else will happen. No images will download and you'll fear you've made a terrible purchase. But instead of panicking,close down the ShutterSnitch App. Turn off the camera. Remove the FlashAir card from Slot 2 in your camera. Then put the card back in the camera. Turn on the camera again. Shoot another couple of test images. (In the Sony A7 menu, you might want to make sure your image review is set to last 2 or 5 minutes.) Then go to your iPad and reconnect to the FlashAir network. Finally, relaunch the ShutterSnitch App. Abracadabra! By the time you've done all this, your five or ten test images will all have downloaded to your iPad and you're good to go for wireless tethering in real time. Weird, but it works every time. And if ever your wifi connection does drop out, either reconnect via the Wifi Settings page on your iPad or turn off the camera, remove theFlashAir card, re-insert it, re-start the camera, and repeat the other steps mentioned above. It might sound like a huge hassle, but I've found the FlashAir card to be fairly tenacious even when there are much stronger wifi networks in the vicinity. Hand on heart, I'm getting wireless tethering that's reliable enough and fast enough to use during professional shoots. One last caveat. Be warned that the JPEGs that get wired across to you iPad so nice and fast are REALLY soft. You and your clients can assess composition, facial expression and overall lighting but you absolutely CANNOT judge focus. Every shot on your iPad will look as if you missed focus by a fair bit--not so badly as to prevent you judging composition, expression and lighting, but certainly soft enough that you'll worry the shot won't be useable in print or on the web. If you review the RAW file on the LCD on your camera, though, you'll usually discover that the details you wanted in focus are in fact beautifully crisp. Huh? I don't know what happens to the image that gets transmitted by the FlashAir card or displayed on the iPad by the ShutterSnitch app, but it seems puzzlingly fuzzy even for a Standard Quality JPEG--like a proxy image embedded in a RAW file, actually, but worse. But if you would really benefit from wireless tethering for image review purposes and can live with the lack of visual confirmation of critical focus is something, then I absolutely recommend slipping a FlashAir card into Slot 2 of your A7r iii or iv.

I purchased this item for my Nikon DLSR. This is a good invention and a nice piece of tech but the reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the installation process was very difficult and also the web support for this was not good. I struggled to find a UK call number on Toshiba’s FlashAir site and the instructions were fairly limited. I still am unsure how I installed this, I think I used a USB SD card reader in my PC to try and sync the two together. I did make things more complicated for myself as the PC I was using is hard wired to the internet and didn’t have WIFI so I had to instal a little WiFi dongle too. At the moment it works adequately, I struggle to delete photos from the SD card from the folder on the PC when it displays. Remember guys to increase the standby time on your camera to allow the pictures to download to the PC as if the camera goes into standby mode the connection will be lost and the FlashAir seizes to work.

First one was dead on arrival, but the replacement is working fine so far after a couple of days. I use it in a Pentax K5, which has a metal body and weather sealing. However the door to the card slot is plastic, so the wi-fi range is fine for a few metres. Very simple to set up if you download and read the instructions from the web site in advance. You just install the software on your laptop, pop the card into an SD card slot and run the software. It finds the card automatically and asks you to set up a suitable SSID and password. Put it back into the camera, turn it on and it appears on your mobile phone just like any other WiFi hotspot. The app on the phone does all I want it to do. If you want the pictures to appear automatically you need to tick the "Auto reload" setting which update the thumbnails with new pictures taken, otherwise you need to press a refresh button manually. It displays the pictures as thumbnails and you select which ones to download. That is my preferred way of working as only 1 in 5 of my pictures is worth saving! It loses the connection when the camera automatically turns off, so I had to increase the time-out on the camera from 1 minute to 10 minutes. I suspect when I use it a lot it will flatten the camera battery quickly. I usually keep a couple of charged spares handy so should not be a problem. Its limitations mean I won't be using it all the time, but it should be useful for those occasions when I want to share pictures on Instagram or Whatsapp. My 8 year old camera now has WiFi - ace! One star knocked off for the DOA - always a PITA to return stuff.

El envío de Amazón fue muy rápido y llegó mucho antes de los esperado. Todo correcto en este aspecto. Compré la tarjeta de memoria porque tengo una cámara reflex sin espejo Sony Nex 7 desde hace más 6 años y en esos tiempos no existía la posibilidad de comunicación con otros dispositivos vía Wifi o Bluetooth . Con esta tarjeta puedes actualizar tu cámara antigua en cuanto a funcionalidades comunicativas, así puedes recibir las fotografía en el móvil y enviarlas a las redes sociales o por cualquier aplicación de mensajería o chats. Compré esta tarjeta, FlashAir w-04, debido a que es mucho más rápida que la anterior, la FlashAir w-03. He visto algunos vídeos en Yotube en cuanto a las diferencias de velocidad de transmisión de archivos y no tienen punto de comparación. Recomiendo esta aunque sea algo más cara. La tarjeta es muy rápida tanto en el envío de fotografías como de vídeos como a los móviles. Tengo un Samsung S7 y la comunicación es perfecta. Un punto a favor tanto de la tarjeta como de este teléfono es que siempre tomo las fotografías en raw digital y la velocidad de traspaso aunque es algo menos rápida, la verdad es que es muy fluida. Luengo ya en el teléfono las revela y las puede enviar por cualquier medio. Algo negativo que supongo sucede en mi cámara cuando introduces la tarjeta no se apaga automáticamente o no funciona correctamente el ahorro de energía aunque lo tenga configurado para que se apague automáticamente a los 20" sin uso. Con la tarjeta de Toshiba, no se apaga y tengo que hacerlo manualmente ya que, de lo contrario, la batería se agotaría más rápidamente. Puede ser que, en otras cámaras esto no suceda. Pero el problema se resuelve apagando la cámara manualmente. Funciona muy bien casi sin programas y tiene una opción que si entras en el ordenador (PC) en la red wifi que crea la tarjeta y pones la contraseña se abre automáticamente un navegador que apunta al la web de la cámara, pudiendo ver la fotos y descargarlas. En este caso, seolamente se pueden descargar una a una. En el móvil con la app de FlashAir, se pueden ver y descargar las fotos. Si tomas las fotos en jpg, la visualización de las fotos es casi al instante y las descarga es muy ràpida. Es un placer ver la gran velocidad con que hace el trabajo. Otra opción muy interesante es que bajando un programa FlashAirTool que cuesta encontrar en las web, ya que solamente viene referenciado en el manual de la tarjeta, se puede configurar la tarjeta en todos los aspectos más importantes. Puede que algunas configuraciones no funcionen bien con tu cámara como a mí me ha sucedido, debido a problemas de compatibilidad, pero son cuestiones menores y sin importancia. Por ejmplo quise configurar el encendido y apagado de la wifi de manera manual, pero me ha sido imposible, debido a la falta de alguna característica que no tiene disponible mi cámara. Es útil esta opción para que no gaste tanta batería ya que, como he dicho más arriba, en mi caso, la cámara no se apaga aunque el ahorro de energía esté activado. Espero que os sirva esta opinión.

Ho acquistato su consiglio di un collega questa sdcard w-04 da 64 gb. Spedizione e tempi di consegna ottimi. A cosa serve questa scheda ??? Servono per avere in tempo reale le foto scattate con la nostra macchina fotografica su un dispositivo come il telefono o il tablet. In un istante si possono avere le foto sul cellulare o tablet senza tutta quella macchinosa trafila........togli sdcard, mettila in un adattatore usb, inseriscila nel PC, scaricare le foto e copiale su cellulare o tablet previo collegamento di questi ultimi al PC!!!! E se come nel mio caso le jpg sono enormi (possiedo una full frame Nikon D610 15 Mb. a foto in Jpg) devo fare un resize di tutte le foto che voglio avere su cellulare e poi finalmente copiarle dentro al cellulare!!!! Insomma si perde molto tempo !!!!! Con queste schedine si eliminano tutti questi passaggi. Ho detto alla mia Nikon D610 di salvare nella sdcard1 le foto in raw(nef) e nella sdcard 2 (scheda Toshiba) le foto in jpg BASIC ovvero minima qualità (dai 2 ai 5 Mb.a foto). Vedi foto sotto. A questo punto lancio l'applicazione Flash Air da cellulare (e' l'applicazione di Toshiba per Android) ed in automatico vedo tutte le jpg BASIC scattate e posso con un click scaricare quelle che voglio su cellulare per poi inserirle in wapp o Facebook. Se poi prima di iniziare a fare le foto si attiva l'applicazione FlashAir su cellulare mano a mano che si scatta vedremo le anteprime apparire sul cellulare.........in modo molto semplice e immediato. ATTENZIONE: i primi 2/3 gg. L'applicazione del cellulare Flash Air dopo pochi secondi perdeva il collegamento e non riuscivo a capire il motivo. Avevo pensato addirittura di restituire la scheda in quanto difettosa !!! Poi il mio collega che possiede la mia stessa macchina fotografica mi ha spiegato che il motivo è dovuto ad un parametro che disattiva l'alimentazione alle sdcard dopo pochi secondi anche con macchina fotografica accesa. Infatti appena abbiamo inserito la mia scheda Toshiba nella sua macchina fotografica tutto ha funzionato alla perfezione. A quel punto era chiaro che il problema fosse un parametro della Nikon D610 e non la scheda!!! Alcune Nikon nuove hanno proprio il parametro sulla alimentazione delle sd card........sulla mia D610 era davvero impossibile da trovare.......assolutamente incomprensibile!!!! Anche il mio collega mi ha confermato che non l'ha trovato lui ma sul sito Toshiba. Tanto di cappello quindi a Toshiba per essersi fatta carico di questo problema che avrebbe reso inutilizzabile questa ottima scheda. Quindi se dall'applicazione perdete il collegamento non vi abbattete e cercate questo parametro che ovviamente sara' diverso da marca a marca. Nella D610 posso alimentare le schede da 2 secondi a 30 minuti oppure sempre alimentate. Quando dovete scaricare su cellulare le foto inserite un valore alto come '30 minuti' oppure 'sempre' e alla fine lo riportate come era poiché se lo lasciate a 30 o sempre il consumo di batteria diventa piuttosto elevato. Quindi ottima scheda e ottima Toshiba. Va da se che se la vostra macchina fotografica non vi permette di alimentare le sd card per un periodo piuttosto lungo la scheda diventa inutile in quanto l'applicazione perdera' continuamente il collegamento con la scheda Toshiba. Magari questo fantomatico parametro andrebbe cercato prima di acquistare la scheda. Tutte le foto in allegato si riferiscono alla mia macchina Nikon D610

Gracias a la tarjeta wifi ahora puedo pasar las fotos de la cámara reflex D 3100 al móvil en un momento, y del móvil a la nube. Algo tan sencillo ahora que me llevaba un tiempo hacer. Primero tenía que meter la SD en el portátil y de ahí a la nube. La verdad es que estoy encantado de haber dado con este producto. Hay que utilizarlo con su app del Apple Store pero cumple la función. La otra opción que tenía era un cable OTG de iPhone que salía más caro que esta SD Wifi. Haré una valoración más adelante.

機能の肝であるWiFiでの無線通信で、スマホなどに移せるはずが、途中で遮断されて一切出来ない。せっかく選んで買ったのに全く無意味。

Je l'utilise en photo sur un boitier non équipé du WiFi. La carte fait le Job. Le WiFi est opérationnel en quelques secondes et les photos et vidéos sont synchronisables sur tablette ou smartphone automatiquement. De plus, les performances de la carte sont au rendez-vous ! Et c'est un bon rapport qualité/prix face aux autres systèmes types "EyeFi". Je recommande!
