lcrl Posted October 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 17, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just saw a ad for a toshiba version of eye-fi called flashair. FlashAir Their FAQ says this: I want to use a FlashAir™ SD Card in my digital camera. Do I need a special type of camera? The only requirement to use the basic functions of FlashAir™ is that the camera needs to have an SDHC compatible slot. SDHC means, that your camera can handle SD Cards with more than 2GB Capacity. So if you have already used an SD Card with more than 2GB with your camera, the FlashAir™ SD Card will also function in your camera. Has anybody tired this with a M9 yet?

jsjxyz Posted May 8, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 8, 2015 I have a terrible 5 horizontal bandings with my MM with Toshiba FlashAir 32GB. But when I use it with my M-P 240 no banding at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted May 8, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2015 The steel baseplate of the M9 should reduce its range. Regardless, I have ordered one and will report. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted May 8, 2015 Share #5 Posted May 8, 2015 This report on the FlashAir is a couple years old, so it might not be current. If still true, it is a NO BUY in my opinion.

thondup Posted May 9, 2015 Share #6 Posted May 9, 2015 I too have had the banding problem and thought it was my sensor but after changing the card there was no problem so returned the card to Toshiba . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted May 9, 2015 Share #7 Posted May 9, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Banding is not ordinarily caused by a bad card. It could occur incidentally with mucking with high ISO or under-exposure when pulling to 'normal' in post processing. I'll bet the card manufacturers simply have a "refund the customer in order to avoid the tedious explanations". Really, I don't know how a card could write a 'banded' image to SD.

pop Posted May 9, 2015 Share #8 Posted May 9, 2015 There have been several reports of artifacts in photographs which occurred in the M9 with some kinds of SD cards but not others. One of the possible causes being discussed was the power drain caused by those cards when the camera read out the sensor data; I presume that it was thought that the power drain injected ripples in the power supply of the amplifiers.

rpavich Posted August 8, 2015 Share #9 Posted August 8, 2015 For the record; I used an Eye Fi X2 Pro card in my M9 and it worked great but the distance to router was limited due to all of the metal. The X2 Pro and Mobi Pro cards also work flawlessly in my Epson R-D1x. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. It is a well known limitation. If you don't mind the risk, there is a way to use the M9 without the baseplate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naa...it worked well enough for me. If I was forced I'd get a plastic base plate or "modify" a stock one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
