airnef

Introducing Airnef, an open-source utility for downloading images and movies from your WiFi-equipped Nikon camera. It supports all Nikon cameras that have built-in WiFi interfaces, along with those using external Nikon WU-1a and WU-1b WiFi adapters. Airnef may also work with Nikon’s WT-4A and WT-5A wireless adapters for the D3/D4/D8x. Airnef supports Canon cameras as well.

Airnef is two applications - a GUI front-end and a command-line app. 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. You can optionally use the command-line version directly to script your transfers.

=== MAJOR FEATURES ===
.
• Fast downloads - Airnef uses optimized Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) parameters for sustained
throughput around 2.5 MB/s
• Realtime download mode - images are transferred to your computer as you shoot them. For cameras
without realtime WiFi shooting support an optional staged-realtime process can be used as well.
• 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. And Airnef will automatically skip over files you've already downloaded!
• Renaming engine allows you to customize the names of directories and files for images you download
• Advanced local caching of MTP metadata allows for very fast click-to-download start times
• Lets you decide the order that files are downloaded, either oldest first or newest first. That way you can
start working on the files you want right away instead of waiting for all the files to be downloaded
• 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.
