The Scifi of Eye-fi - part 3 of 1 2 3 4 5

The next option is the RAW tag. I leave this option unchecked as enabling this feature will slow your transfer rates considerably. Only enable if you do not have a second slot in your camera (to which you can direct your RAW files). My camera has two CF slots and is set to capture RAW files in slot 1 and JPEG in slot 2. This gives you the best of both worlds - high quality files for working on at leisure and smaller JPEG files that will upload directly to the computer for previewing or even outputting through Lightroom at an event shoot.

Having only CF card slots in the camera is no drawback as there are several SD to CF adapters on the market that work very well, however, a word of caution...these items are not expensive so don't be tempted to get a cheap one. A good adapter will cost £20 at the most and this can make all the difference to the success and speed of transfer.

The remaining set-up tags can be left alone on their default setting and we can get on with capturing images. At this stage you can close the Eye-Fi Centre interface and start shooting.
