sfethan Posted January 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, i have a scenario in mind and not sure how it'll work. I'm shooting street portraits on the streets and want to show the photo I just took to users right away on my iPad. Is there anyway to sync my photos out of my camera instantly to my iPad right after I click the shutter without wifi? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wk Posted January 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 23, 2015 You can use an Eye-Fi card. It creates it's own wifi network. You simply join that network and run the Eye-fi app on your iPad. Shoot raw+JPEG and then setup your card to only send the jpegs...the raw files take a long time to transfer. Other than that it works great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted January 23, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 23, 2015 According to their website, it works with the M8 but not later digiLeica's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoleica Posted January 23, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi, why not use the iPad/SD card reader, take the pic, pop the SD card into the Reader - it's on your iPad..... Or you can connect your camera directly to your iPad. I've done it, so I know it works........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wk Posted January 23, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 23, 2015 According to their website, it works with the M8 but not later digiLeica's It works on the Monochrom, so I'm assuming it works on the M9. It also works on the X Vario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoism Posted January 25, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 25, 2015 ..... Or you can connect your camera directly to your iPad. I've done it, so I know it works........ Would you share some specifics how you did it? What cables, adapters, apps...are involved? It sounds almost like shooting tethered. Also, can you transfer pictures over to the iPad selectively and not the entire SD card at once? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo63 Posted January 25, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Im using a Toshiba Flashair card in my M240 Basically it sets up a wireless network, i connect my phone to it, open the Flashair app, and can view and download pictures off the card. I have the M set to shoot DNG+12mp jpeg and just see the Jpeg files I have been playing with Filterstorm Neue to edit the pics on my phone too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wk Posted January 31, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 31, 2015 Would you share some specifics how you did it? What cables, adapters, apps...are involved? It sounds almost like shooting tethered. Also, can you transfer pictures over to the iPad selectively and not the entire SD card at once? Apple sells the SD to ipad adapter cable. I'm sure aftermarkets do too. You just plug it into the charging port in the bottom of your ipad and then insert your SD. The photo app launches and you click IMPORT and then you can select which photos you would like to import. Easy as pie, but not like shooting tethered. However, the Eye-fi (or Flashair) SD card is more like shooting tethered. I have often used this setup while shooting fashion. I hand the client the ipad and they can view the images streaming in with a slight delay. The size of the in camera JPEG determines the speed if the wireless transfer.

LocalHero1953 Posted January 31, 2015 Share #9 Posted January 31, 2015 Note that you cannot connect the M240 directly to anything - it has no USB connector (may be different with the MF grip, of which I have no experience). I have connected the M9 directly to the ipad, but more often just plugged the SD card in using Apple's connector. In the end, though, I was disappointed with the process: raw-capable ipad apps are limited, and the whole process of getting images off the ipad is a slow pain. So I wouldn't do it myself now except for the very simple jpg display scenario the OP describes. I've given up now on the ipad's limited capabilities for travel, passed it on to a family member, and bought a Surface Pro 3, a real computer on which I can edit in LR and PS, and copy the images easily to a main catalogue on a desktop PC.

Thanks I am not being negative only questioning the approach from purely practical perspective. Typical street is not studio environment and operating multiple devices somewhat defeats the whole idea. If you need instant display on bigger screen best way forward would be tethering. Beside tethering other options are Wi-Fi and card transfer. If tethering and Wi-Fi don't work how practical would it be to remove SD card and insert it in the card reader. Probably by the time image appears on the iPad screen minutes would pass, maybe time to have a cigarette break and/or cup of tea/coffee. If transferring images to a device with longer screen is still required or desirable than time delays could not be avoided. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it this way, a few years you were not even offered the above options.. Your comments are somewhat negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wk Posted January 31, 2015 Share #12 Posted January 31, 2015 It's not that difficult or time consuming really. I have my Eye-fi card set so that it takes 5 or 10 minutes to power off. So it can be on standby between shots. I have even used my iPhone to stream jpegs from my Monocrhom while shooting outdoor portraits and I wanted to make sure my focus was critical when using a new Summilux. It was much easier to see than using the LCD on the camera. I take out my phone and after shooting a sequence they all stream to the Eye-fi app. I don't use it often, but it is nice to have the capability when needed.

As an add on, how did you manage in the "Good Old Days" with the Sunpack Flashes & bulb replacement? -- Changing Rolls of Film - Say - Leica 111F? -- we did!

Are you equating changing roll of film with displaying image on device other than camera, by chance you also developed film in the street and made set of prints suitably sized for convenient viewing? On a side note I started my photo journey in 1970s, Leica came into it much later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note I started my photo journey in 1970s, Leica came into it much later. No, I was just saying that overall the photographic experience from Day One has been a somewhat time consuming exercise and a Positive attitude is needed.. My photographic journey started around the 1950's - Brownie Box, A Balda, Miranda Sensorex and many other cameras including the 6x4 Pentax, Leica's from around the mid 70's... To-day I put in my SD card, go out and shoot, and within 10minutes of returning to my car the images are on my iPad.. My car is Internet Enabled so within a very short time (possibly even quicker than loading a 35mm film into a Leica 111F) the images can be anywhere in the world.. Thats Progress - Don't You Just Love It.. Positively Motivating & Amazing............... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, what you describe sounds like sensible work flow to step away from the street and transfer files at leisure. Reminder, OP was asking about instant or near instant transfer onto iPad.
