Importing Photos Directly From a Camera or Photo Card Reader to iPod

Using the optional iPod Camera Connector (available for purchase at www.apple.com/ ipodstore) and a standard digital camera or photo card reader, you can store and view photos on iPod, and then delete them from the camera or photo card and take more pictures. Later you can transfer the photos from iPod to your computer using a standard digital photo application (such as iPhoto on a Macintosh).

To see which cameras and other devices are compatible with the iPod Camera Connector, go to www.apple.com/ipod/compatibility/cameraconnector.html.

Note: You can’t view slideshows on a TV using photos transferred directly from a camera or photo card reader. To view the photos in a slideshow on a TV, you must transfer them to your computer, and then import them back to iPod using iTunes.

To import photos from a USB digital camera or photo card reader to iPod:

1Turn on iPod and attach the iPod Camera Connector.

2Turn on your camera (or photo card reader) and connect it to iPod using the USB cable that came with your camera.
