Eyefi supports WiFi enabled cameras

DUBAI, June 17, 2015

Eyefi, a leader in digital photo apps and services, has updated its offering that include support for WiFi enabled cameras.

With Eyefi’s WiFi camera connectivity, customers who use GoPro and Olympus WiFi cameras do not have to wait until they get home to upload and share their photos, said a statement.

Photos from those cameras can be instantly transferred, automatically organised and displayed alongside images captured with other cameras, including DLSR cameras with an Eyefi Mobi WiFi SD card, mobile phones and tablets.

With Eyefi Cloud Smart Tags, the entire collection of photos will be automatically classified by subject area and synced to all devices making it easy to find, enjoy and share vivid memories as soon as they happen.

Matt DiMaria, chief executive officer, said: “No one uses only one device for taking pictures anymore. When it comes to camera gear, today’s photo enthusiast relies on an array of equipment—from WiFi cameras, to DSLRs with an Eyefi Mobi card, to smartphones and tablets.

“With Eyefi, photos from each camera are instantly transferred and available in a single collection, eliminating tedious, time-consuming manual transfer and consolidation steps and with Eyefi Cloud photos are made available on every device, instantly.”


In addition to the ease and convenience of having photos in a single collection, Eyefi brings a new level of organisation to photographers. ‘Smart Tags’ will automatically identify the subject or subjects in each photo, and apply tags automatically. Dozens of tags—such as person, landscape, food and drink—are included, and custom tags can also be created.

‘Smart Tags’ are completely configurable by the user giving them control over how their images are organised and making them easier to find.

The ‘Discover’ feature is a visualisation tool that will help photographers learn more about how they shoot, and how settings and combination of settings affect images. It takes camera metadata—such as model, ISO, aperture, and shutter speed—and makes it easy for photographers to analyse their photos. Results are displayed in an informative, graphical format.

Eyefi’s WiFi camera connectivity is available on Android-based devices, and will be released on iOS-based devices later this year.

It has also announced a new Dh18.50 ($5) monthly pricing option for Eyefi Cloud. The Eyefi Cloud subscription includes WiFi camera connectivity support for GoPro and Olympus cameras with built-in WiFi.

Eyefi Mobi app users who have not subscribed to Eyefi Cloud can add WiFi camera connectivity to their Eyefi Mobi app with an inapp purchase of Dhs18.50.

Eyefi’s WiFi camera connectivity is available for use with GoPro Hero+ LCD, Hero 3, GoPro Hero 4 and Olympus Stylus 1, Olympus PEN E-P5, Olympus Stylus TG- 860, and Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II cameras. - TradeArabia News Service
