Introduction |
| == Import from camera == | | Based on [link|https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202037|https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202037] | | | To import from your SD card or digital camera, follow these steps: | | | # Connect the adapter to your iOS device. | | # Connect your digital camera to the adapter by USB or insert an SD card. | | # Photos app should automatically open to the Import tab. ... | | # Tap Import All to import your content, or tap specific items, then tap Import. | | # You may also see your photos or videos in the files app | == Import/export between USB key (USB flash drive) and ipadiPad/iphoneiPhone == | | === EITHER === | | Use Lightning to USB camera adapter ***PLUS*** USB key. | | | Pls. note that if you are getting an error that the USB key is requiring too much power, you need to find a USB key requiring less power (e.g. the Kingston Bolt mentioned below) or use a USB with external power | | | === OR === | UseUsing the USB-A/Lightning key, I used Kingston DataTraveler Bolt Duo - USB-A/Lightning - 64 GB. In this case, you can’t charge the ipadiPad/iphoneiPhone while the USB is connected | | | | | | === Procedure: === | # Format USB key for FAT32 or exfatexFAT (windows) or exfatexFAT (OSX) – Kingston Bolt is already FAT32 formatted | | # Copy the photos or videos you want to transfer to a USB key – either as individual photos (*.jpg etc.) or video files (*.mp4 etc.) or as a zip file with photos/videos | | # If you use a USB camera adapter PLUS USB key: | | a) Plug the USB key into your iPad via the Camera Connection Kit | | | b) Go to the files app and you will see the photo files there. | | | c) If photos/videos are zipped just press the zip folder and files will be extracted automatically to a separate folder. Pls. note that extraction is typically faster on PC. | | | 4. If you use the USB-A/Lightning key you may view photos/videos in both files app or Kingston Bolt app. | | | a) Pls. note that the bolt app does not support extraction from a zip file | | b) So in this case you need first to plug the USB-A/Lightning key into the camera adapter and extract it via the files app. Then you may plug in the USB-A/Lightning key to ipadthe iPad. | | | c) Note that the bolt app photo viewer is faster than the files app photo viewer | | | d) Same for video viewer – use either VLC or bolt viewer for videos |
