Windows Wireless Tip - There is a one-time wireless setup you can perform that will allow Windows to automatically switch to your camera's WiFi network whenever you turn your camera on and/or enable its WiFi. Here are a few post-installation Windows tips that will help make Airnef more convenient to use:
A start-menu folder will be created under, from which you can launch Airnef. You'll then be prompted for the installation directory, which defaults to C:\Program Files\airnef (32-bit Windows) or C:\Program Files (x86)\airnef (64-bit Windows). Once the installer is running you'll be prompted to agree to the GPL v3 license. The application is unsigned so you'll receive a warning from Windows about it coming from an "unknown publisher". Download the Windows installer and launch it. You can repeat this any number of times while running a single Airnef session (no intervention required on computer). In contrast, Sony cameras (in the Send to Computer mode) and the Nikon J4/J5 require you to leave the WiFi mode before you can use the functionality of the camera again 2Nikon 1 cameras with built-in WiFi such as the J4 and J5 do not support Realtime download but can use staged realtime transfersģNikon bodies using an external WU-1a or WU-1b WiFi adapter have no separate menu option for selecting images to upload and the alternate mechanism of selecting images for upload in the playback menu (present in cameras with native WiFi support like the D7200) is unavailable because the playback menu is disabled when WiFi is on for cameras with an external WiFi adapter.ĤStaged Realtime means the camera doesn't support taking photographs while in the WiFi mode required by Airnef but you can achieve faux-realtime transfers by shooting any number of photos in non-WiFi mode then turning your camera's WiFi on to automatically transfer those images to Airnef, then turn your camera's WiFi back off to resume shooting. For example most Nikon DSLRs support shooting with WiFi enabled.

Even if your camera is not listed it may still work. This is a partial list of camera's I've personally tested. This is important when downloading very large video files on marginal wireless connections Fault-tolerant operation - Airnef will continuously retry any failed communication/transfer, resuming the download exactly where it left off, even in the middle of a file. That way you can start working on the files you want right away instead of waiting for all the files to be downloaded Lets you decide the order that files are downloaded, either oldest first or newest first. Advanced local caching of MTP metadata allows for very fast click-to-download start times. Download exec feature lets you launch your favorite image viewing or editing application for each file downloaded. Renaming engine allows you to customize the names of directories and files for images you download. And Airnef will automatically skip over files you've already downloaded! Extensive criteria selection makes it easy to quickly choose which images to download, including by file type (NEF, JPG, MOV, etc.), starting and/or ending capture date, specific camera folders, and media card slot - in any combination. For cameras without realtime WiFi shooting support an optional staged-realtime process can be used as well. Realtime download mode - images are transferred to your computer as you shoot them.
Fast downloads - Airnef uses optimized Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) parameters for sustained throughput around 2.5 MB/s. One-button click to download all new images and video from the camera, selected on either the camera or computer by criteria. You can optionally use the command-line version directly to script your transfers. The GUI front-end allows you to visually select the criteria of which images to download and then launches the command-line app to perform the transfer. Airnef is two applications - a GUI front-end and a command-line app.
