Questions & Answers

Wayne S : I can xfer photos over my android phone and tablet. I cannot xfer my photos from my win8.1 desktop. I did flash the bios and reset the pw from it. I also can do a wireless connection but only get a blank browser window. Any ideas?BANG T : sorry i cant answer your question bc I bought the SD card as a gift and have never used it. PATRICK A : Sorry, sounds pretty much the same problems that I have with it. I'm using it now as a normal Flash card. Does not make me happy at all. I think you have to talk to a Toshiba rep. directly.
mary ann m : where do you put the code in? CNCNETDEALRAMONA R : It's been a while since I set my card up but I did have to use my computer to set up the card. just put it in your card reader and follow the set up instructions. your basically setting it up like a WiFi. Hope this helps.CLARENCE C : The first use code is "12345678". Then you can change after as your own code. Take a look is link. It may help you better. http://www.toshiba.co.jp/p-media/wwsite/pdf/flashair_wireless_transfer.pdfSAMI Y : Use the software from Toshiba (can be downloaded from their site) to reformat the SD card as well as enter new password for the card. You will need to set up the card for wifi access as well. Once you have done this, you can access the card from your smart phone by selecting the Flashair in wifi setting on the phone (enter password). Pull up a browser and type in flashair com and you should be able to pull up your photos. If you would like to enable password from the camera, go to Playback Menu and Select Connection to Smartphone. You can enter a password there. To Erase photos taken on the camera, select Menu (lower right hand side back of the camera). Then select Card Setup - you can erase photos but cannot format (formatting is done on the computer)Bruce P : Not sure but think in software so it recognizes the card. I had a lot of trouble and returned the card. The eye-fi works so much easier and simpler.
Shopper : Can this card be used with a Canon 5dMKIII?ANDREW R : This card should work with a wide variety of cameras that accept standard SD memory cards, however the manufacturer does not indicate specific device compatibility.

Absolute Junk in a Nikon-Mac system

Transfers are so slow, I could draw them faster Maybe I could file off a side and use it as an ice scraper. I'm giving mine away- iogear works better

Bricked it day one.

Works but to much trouble when used on a Mac. If inserted in MacBook after copying pictures do NOT delete FA000001.jpg. Tried to update firmware using Mac; instructions do not work since I turned the card into a brick, will not mount on Mac. Buy the Eye-Fi.

Pleasantly Surprised

I picked up one of these cards for my Canon EOS-M. It was easy to set up and works like a champ with the iPhone app. I appreciate how the app allows you to preview thumbnails of your photos and only download the photos you want-- not everything you shoot. This card also works well with my Nikon1 V1. Unfortunately, this product does not work with every camera including my Olympus E-PL3. It is only class 6 speed but it is adequate for what I need it for.

Useful enough

I like the fact toshiba made the card web based. It's great to have options and not be limited in terms of platforms. The device takes a few attempts before it works. I did some research on the card, watched YouTube videos and soon I had it up and running with my iPad, PC, blackberry and touchpad in no time. Kudos to toshiba for offering an alternative!

Does the trick but slow transfer rate

I bought this because I didn't want to keep taking the sd card out of my Brinno device. However moving a 400mb file was going to take around 40 minutes so I stopped the transfer, put the sd card into my pc and had it copied in less than a minute.

Works fine but not for Nikon D5100

As far as I can tell this product works just fine. I was able to connect to its wifi without any difficulty though it does not work with my hardware. I have a Nikon D5100 that only powers the wifi when live view mode is active (this is not the typical way I use this DSLR). For this reason I dont use the card any longer.

works as advertised

I used it in Canon EOS-M and a Samsung Galaxy S4. Followed manual closely and successfully completed initial set up. No problem with worked transfers. Great for selective on-the-go uploads to social media. Not the best option for offloading entire SD card to computer. Class 6 is too slow for writing RAW + large jpeg. The camera takes a long time to write to card.

Works great with iPhone, Mac.

I use this with my Panasonic Lumix GX1 and works great with my iPhone. I set my camera to take RAW+JPEG and the JPEG shows up flawlessly. What happens is that the SD card creates it's own wireless network you connect to. Then you connect ur device, like an iPhone, to the wireless network the card generates. And the files are transferred. So, you won't be able to connect to a real wifi network for data purposes while transferring photos from the card.

Nice product but in its early stages....

I have given 4 as it is nice feature to have when I want to transfer pics from my camera directly to my mobile instantly & share online without bothering for available network around as it has in-built WiFi (nicceeee). From my experience few points to take care - make sure to increase or disable auto screen off on your camera so that computer/mobile is connected for required time with SD card otherwise you will keep on disconnected from FlashAir WIFI network - setting up for first time is little longer process but once you are done it is delight to transfer photos.. It has 8GB space which is kindda okay size for my DSLR as I now have this wireless transfer feature. mobile App for flashAir is very neat and easy to use once you are connected to flashAir WiFi. I really liked mobile app So far issues/problems I have face are: - transfer rate is slow... taking 3-5 mins to transfer single picture from my DSLR to computer/mobile... But I am okay with this.. - There is no feature to select pictures from the list to transfer at one go... It has to be done one by one.... - Having a desktop application for this will be great boost for this product. -Abishek

Works for nikon P310 but not nikon D5100

Very easy to set up, literally takes less than one minute Works with my nikon p310 but when I put it in my nikon d5100, my phone can't sense the card. I put the card back to my p310 and it connects instantly, sometimes after 2 or more retry. I was able to see my d5100 photos in another folder tho... but it's useless if I can't transfer photos from d5100 while the card is in it.

Works Perfectly in a Fuji X100

I successfully paired up this card in my Fuji X100 up with an IPhone 5 and an Ipad mini using both the official FlashAir app and the Olympus O.I.Share App. The Olympus app is a bit slicker but the FlashAir app supports continous polling for new photos. My intention was to get high def. reviews of shots on the IOS Devices without having to keep downloading to my PC and this arrangement works perfectly for that purpose. Some people have complained that this is only a Class 6 card, but I use it only for still photos and I haven't seen any lag. It's a bit slow to load images onto the preview screen (about 5 seconds for a 4MB image) but that's not an issue for me.

I think it will work...eventually

I put the card in the sd slot of my D800. The first thing you need to know is that the card must be powered to broadcast. That only happens when writing or reviewing an image. The work around is to extend the time that the image is viewed on the camera. That keeps the power on, the card broadcasting and the connection to your device live. Once I did that it works like a charm.

Works ... Sort of

Very easy to connect to the wifi built in card but It was too slow to be practical. It will speed up a little the closer you are to the computer but that kind of defeats the purpose of being wireless. Also I use a wireless network in my house and I have to disconnect from that to connect to the card. Theres no simple way to have wifi internet and connect th card at the same time.

Good alternative to eye-fi

I purchased because I liked the idea of not having to install software to download the pictures into my computer or phone / tablet; however you have to open in the browser one picture at the time and transfer it in your device; not very convenient when you took a few shots; there is no other way to do it. On this aspect eye-fi is more convenient

Easy the first time I used it.

The Toshiba 8GB FlashAir Wireless SD Card incorporates flash memory and can be used as a standard SD Memory Card for storing any kind of digital data. It is fully compliant with the SD Card standards defined by the SD-Association. In addition, FlashAir includes a Wireless LAN chip set plus antenna for wireless communications.

By offering this Wireless LAN functionality, FlashAir provides the advantage of allowing access to the data stored on the SD Card without the need to remove the card or plug a cable to the device. Simply connect the remote host by linking it to the Wireless LAN Access Point of the FlashAir SD Card, start a browser tool and all the data on the card can be read and transferred from the FlashAir SD Card to the remote host. This basic functionality does not require any special driver or software installation on either side. The Wireless LAN function transfers any type of data and can be secured with WPA2.

The FlashAir SD Card will create a Wireless LAN (WLAN) Access Point (AP). Any other device which has a WLAN function (e.g. PC, Tablet, Smartphone) can connect to this AP and create a direct communication channel to the FlashAir SD Card inside the camera. There is no need to remove the card or to plug a cable into the camera. FlashAir includes a HTML Server function which allows easy access to all data stored on the card by simply using any kind of browser on the remote Host (e.g. PC, Tablet, Smartphone). Now you can see all pictures or movies taken by the camera inside the browser window. You may decide to store a local copy of the files to the remote Host.
