Introduction |
| == Import from camera == | | Based on [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 ipad/iphone == | | === EITHER === | | Use Lightning to USB camera adapter '''PLUS''' USB key. | | | Pls. note that if you are getting error that 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 USB with external power | | | === OR === | | Use USB-A/Lightning key, I used Kingston DataTraveler Bolt Duo - USB-A/Lightning - 64 GB. In this case you can’t charge the ipad/iphone while USB is connected | | | | | | === Procedure: === | | # Format USB key for FAT32 or exfat (windows) or exfat (OSX) – Kingston Bolt already FAT32 formatted | # Copy the photos or videos you want to transfer to USB key – either as individual photophotos (*.jpg etc.) or video files (*.mp4 etc.) or as zip file with photos/videos | | # If you use USB camera adapter PLUS USB key: | | a) Plug the USB key into your iPad via the Camera Connection Kit | | | b) Go to files app and you will see the photo files there. | | c) If photos/videos are zipped just press the zip folder and photosfiles will be extracted automatically to separate folder. Pls. note that extraction is typically faster on PC. | | | 4. If you use USB-A/Lightning key you may view photos/videos in both files app or Kingston Bolt app. | | | a) Pls. note that bolt app does not support extraction from zip file | | | b) So in this case you need first to plug USB-A/Lightning key into camera adapter and extract via files app. Then you may plug in USB-A/Lightning key to 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 |
