Importing Photos and Videos from iPhone or a Digital Camera

With the iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately), you can import photos and
videos directly from a digital camera or iPhone, or from an SD memory card.

To Import photos:

1

Insert the SD Card Reader or Camera Connector, included in the iPad Camera

Connection Kit, into the iPad dock connector.

To connect a camera or iPhone, use the USB cable that came with the camera or

Â

iPhone, and connect it to the USB port on the Camera Connector. If you’re using
iPhone, make sure it’s turned on and unlocked. To connect a camera, make the sure
the camera is turned on and in transfer mode. For help, see the documentation that
came with the camera. The USB port on the Camera Connector is only for cameras;
other USB devices aren’t supported.
To use an SD memory card, insert it in the slot on the SD Card Reader. Don’t force

Â

the card into the slot; it fits only one way.

For more information about the connectors, see the iPad Camera Connection Kit
documentation.

2

Unlock iPad.

3

The Photos app opens and displays the photos and videos that are available

for importing.

Select the photos and videos you want to import.

To import all of the items, tap Import All.

Â

To import just some of the items, tap the ones you want to include (a checkmark

Â

appears on each), then tap Import, and select Import Selected.

5

After the photos are imported, you can choose to keep or delete the photos and videos

on the card, camera, or iPhone.

containing all the photos that were selected for import.
To transfer the photos to your computer, connect iPad to your computer and import
the images with a photo application such as iPhoto or Adobe Elements.
