ShutterSnitch

[stevedevil]

Ok as mentioned in another post, got hold of the WFT E5B ( Wireless File Transfer ), for my Canon 7D, and downloaded an App called ShutterSnitch, for the iPad & iPhone, as it allows the transfer of files over wifi network.

Have the Camera set to take RAW & Jpegs, and only the Jpegs go across as you take the image, its great to see composition on something bigger than the camera screen.

Also just found an old Mobile Wifi that I cancelled years ago, but works great as an access point so when im out and about, can still use the iPad to see images as I take them.

It also allows SD wifi to connect to it, so will try my 5D Mkii with a wifi SD and CF converter to see how that goes as well.

I can highly recommend the software, its great, only a few quid a month too,

Has anyone else given it a go ??

Yes unfortunately its IOS based, but second hand iPads are pretty cheap now, my dated iPad mini works well on the app, which is surprising as its useless now for anything else :-)

@Denis There is a Canon Android App called Canon Camera Connect, however it's just for Canon Cameras but Nikon does have a  Wireless Mobile Utility App for Android tablets and phones.

Ipad also has the app, the issue with the app is it won't recognise a camera with the WFT added, or even with a wifi card, as they are specific to the Canon Camera's with inbuilt wifi

My Canon 90D and 800D both have built in wifi, whilst I have the app on my phone I think I've only used it a couple of times.

Like that only the Jpegs can be sent, so in the studio everyone can see the image as soon as its taken

Yes mate, but I would rather do things the old fashioned way really, take photos, remove SD card, insert into computer

Yep, pretty much what I do.

I had 2 CF cards fail recently, probably as I remove them and replace on every shoot, so the wifi and ShutterSnitch will at least safe a Jpeg for me

If you want to protect the longevity of your SD cards, don't delete the images once transferred to the computer, just format the card.
