Necessary

We can then import photos and videos from an SD card or directly from the camera on our iOS device. To succeed, however, we need one of the following accessories:


  • Lightning to SD card camera reader
  • Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter
  • Lightning to USB Camera Adapter
  • iPad Camera Connection Kit, which includes both the camera connector and the iPad SD card reader

To purchase these accessories, we recommend that you contact directly Apple as third party accessories could damage the devices.

Camera adapters from Lightning to USB 3 Only the following iPad models will use USB 3:

  • 12,9-inch iPad Pro (2nd generation)
  • 12,9-inch iPad Pro
  • 10,5-inch iPad Pro

Other iOS devices and adapters will therefore use USB 2.

The following are supported for this type of operation SD cards and the following protocols:

  • PTP
  • MSD
  • SDSC

Import of photos and videos

We now come to the procedure for importing photos and videos to our iOS device.

To import photos from SD card or directly from the camera we must carefully follow the following steps. First of all we connect theadapter to our iPhone or iPad. Then we connect the camera to the adapter, or we connect the SD card. The choice of these two options falls on the adapter model you purchased. At this point it should open automatically Gallery in the panel Import. If not, we manually open Photos and click on the Import option.


At this point we have to choose the elements to import. We can choose them one by one and then click on Import or we can import them all . Import everything.

Once the import operation is completed, a message will appear asking us whether to keep the imported files on the SD card. Also we remind you that DON'T is allowed the reverse operation, or theexport from iPhone / iPad to SD card / camera.

Import option not displayed

It may happen that you don't see the import option. However we can solve the problem by following the following steps:

  • We verify that the camera is connected and that the option to export photos and videos is activated
  • We disconnect the adapter and reconnect it after 30 seconds
  • We disconnect the camera / SD card and reconnect it after 30 seconds
  • We restart our iPhone or iPad
  • If possible, we test with a different camera / SD card. If the problem is with the previous SD card / camera it is recommended that you save the files to another device and perform a reset.
