Making your old camera to have wireless connection to your smartphone or tablet

Nowadays, most new DSLR, mirrorless cameras and compact cameras come with the "wifi capable" technology built-in the body. With this new spec, we can download the images direct to the phone or tablet and share the photos to the social media immediately.

Remote control by smartphone and wireless viewing thru the phone can  also be done with this feature.

For FujiFilm's XE-2 , XT-1 and XT-10, there are such features available. As for Xpro-1, which is a 2012 camera, there is no such feature available.

To have similar feature on Xpro-1, I bought a wifi SD card and with this card, I am able to download the images I took immediately to my Iphone 6 and share with my friends and love ones immediately. For fast processing, I use the "snapseed" app for the images before sending out or sharing in social media.

When there is a gathering, party and event, I will use this feature to share and people will appreciate the gorgeous photos taken from the APS-C camera compared to a direct iphone shot.

I uses a Toshiba wifi Flashair SD card. All you need to do is to download a free app to the Handphone or Tablet and good to go.

Note that the wireless remote feature cannot be done.
