Pentax FluCard

The Pentax FluCard, officially Pentax FluCard O-FC1, is a wireless accessory and memory card standard for Pentax cameras. As a memory card, it provides 16GB of space and is specified as SDHC Class 10.[1] As a wireless accessory, it allows remote preview and capture (also known as tethering) as well as wireless download of any images stored on the card.

Wireless communication

The FluCard sets up a wireless network. On a device connected to this network, the Chrome or Safari web browsers can be used to connect to the host "pentax".[2] Users have additionally reported Firefox and Opera as working.[3] Once connected, all further interaction works entirely via the browser.

Command Set

The card is based on the Flucard by Trek 2000 International. A set of commands for their http-based API used to be listed on their website, but most of the content has disappeared as of May 2015. The data can still be found at the Wayback_Machine, though.

A more up-to-date list of available http commands is listed on this independent developer website.
