The Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit has two parts, both of which connect to your iPad via the dock port.The first part is an SD card reader.You connect one end to the iPad dock port and you plug a standard SD card, the type most cameras use, into the other end.The second part has a USB connection on the second end.You can connect a digital camera to your iPad using it.
Here is how to import photos directly from your camera or SD card.
1. Connect either the camera connector or the SD card reader to your iPad’s dock port.
2. Connect your camera using the USB cable that came with it, or slide the SD card into the card reader. If you are connecting a camera, you will most likely need to switch the camera on and into the same mode you use to transfer pictures to a computer.
3. After a slight delay, the Photos app should launch and images on the camera or card should appear on your iPad’s screen.Tap the images you want to import.
4. Tap the Delete Selected button if you want to delete the images without ever importing them into your iPad.
5. Tap the Import button.
6. Tap Import All to import all photos. The images appear in a new album on your iPad.
7. Tap Import Selected to bring in only the selected photos.
8. After importing the photos, you will be given the change to delete them from the camera or card.Tap Delete to remove them.
9. Tap Keep to leave the images on the camera or card.
More Than Just Cameras!
The Connection Kit does a lot more than just let you use cameras and SD cards.You can also connect USB headsets with the camera connector and use them as headphones and/or a microphone. You can connect lowpower USB keyboards as well.The SD card reader can be used to transfer video and images, so you can use it to play stored movies from SD cards.
