The Unofficial Eye-Fi FAQ - General


Is there any tool that let me automatically print downloaded images from my laptop without user intervention? take picture --> eyefi sends to laptop --> only new images get printed
Will the Eye-Fi work with SD camcorders as well?? I have a Panasonic HDC-SD9 that I would like to use this technology with.
Unfortunately not for video; the card will only upload images in JPEG format. This is actually not a bad decision on the part of Eye-Fi; video files can be huge and would take an age to transfer.
Will an Eye-Fi card imported from the US work in Europe, Australia or elsewhere?

Broadly speaking, yes. However, it is possible that as the US uses fewer channels for 802.11g Wi-Fi (1-11) than Europe (1-13), it may be that your access point won't be visible if it's configured to use channels 12 or 13.

We've not tested this yet to see if there is a problem, but if so then there is a simple solution - simply change your wireless network to use a channel between 1 and 11.

Location Channels in use
USA 1 - 11
Europe, Japan, Australia 1 - 13
Spain 10, 11
Is the Eye-Fi card sold under any other names?
Not yet, but it will be shortly. On the 8th January 2008, Lexar Media signed an agreement with Eye-Fi to use the technology in a Lexar-branded card. More details are yet to emerge, and the Lexar card is not yet on the market.
