There is a way to “retro fit” the transfer of images wirelessly by use of the
“Eye-fi” sdhc cards available from Eye-Fi or, in Europe only, from
Sandisk retailers.
The Eye-Fi Mobi cards are available in larger capacity (32GB) and
higher speeds (class 10). Eye-Fi also produce a “Pro” version of the card
which allows more connectivity, the ability to upload RAW camera files
and “cloud” back up. Sandisk only have 4GB and 8GB cards.
To utilise the transfer facility you will need to purchase one of the cards
available, download the “Eye-Fi” app for your tablet/smartphone and
create an on-line user account if you are using the Pro card.
The newer Mobi cards will pair directly with your smartphone/tablet after
entering the 10 digit pairing code supplied with the card. Older versions
will require an account to be set up.
Once the card has been registered or paired with your device as soon as
you begin to take images with the FZ200 with the Eye-Fi card installed it
will transfer those images to your paired device in around 6 seconds for
a full resolution JPEG image.
If you download the Eye-Fi control centre onto your PC/MAC you will be
able to access and control additional facilities.
You can have the card utilise your “Home Network” or start the “Direct”
connection method to transfer the images.
