Apple Guide to Importing Photos and Videos Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit

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.

Import photos:

1Insert the SD Card Reader or Camera Connector, included in the iPad Camera Connection Kit, into the iPad dock connector.

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

ÂÂ To use an SD memory card, insert it in the slot on the SD Card Reader. Don’t force the card into the slot; it fits only one way.

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

2Unlock iPad.

3The Photos app opens and displays the photos and videos that are available for importing.

4Select the photos and videos you want to import. ÂÂ To import all of the items, tap Import All.

ÂÂ To import just some of the items, tap the ones you want to include (a checkmark appears on each), then tap Import, and select Import Selected.

5After the photos are imported, you can choose to keep or delete the photos and videos on the card, camera, or iPhone.

6Disconnect the SD Card Reader or Camera Connector.

To view the photos, look in the Last Import album. A new Event contains 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.

Viewing Photos and Videos

Photos lets you view photos synced from your computer’s photo application, imported from a digital camera or iPhone, or saved from an email message or webpage.

Photos organizes collections by Albums, Events, Faces, and Places. Places uses the location information encoded in photos, but not all photos may have this information—it requires a camera that supports geotagging. Events and Faces must first be configured in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, then synced to iPad.
