Transcend Wifi SDHC Card in K-3, does it work?

**cofra** · 04-27-2014, 05:54 AM

Good day,

I noticed that the K-3 isn't on Transcends website as a compatible camera, but the K-5 II is. Does anyone know if those cards work or not?

Regards, Christian

I think it requires having a flucard to inact wifi...but I could be wrong.

Edit: Further research is you can use the Eye-Fi Mobi Cards also.

Hard to say. The K-3 supports both the FluCard and Eye-Fi according to the owner's manual and probably can use the Transcend card as well. I would confirm with Transcend.

Yep I'm wrong...All of the reviews I read said it couldn't but Steve's right the manual does show it can use a LAN eyefi card.

Thanks for your answers boys, and sorry for my late reply.

I've now tried it. But it didn't work. Did a firmware update of both camera and card and it still don't work. I've sent the support an mail and will post result of it here.

Dear Customer,

First of all, many thanks for your letter.

We can't guarantee it's work by none test.

So we don't guarantee that it work on your camera.
