Can i use the lightning to usb camera adapter for sony cybershotdsc-w380

DDoes anyone know how to use a lightning to sub camera adapter for a Sony cyber shot doc-w830

This discussion may help.
It mostly depends on the camera. Some cameras have a Transfer Mode, which does not attempt to charge while transferring pictures. does yours have such a setting?
Alternatively you can try to plug a powered USB hub between the camera and the USB connector so the power is provided by the HUB rather than the iPad.
Other than that, yes the Memory card reader may be a better option assuming your Camera uses Secure Digital (SD) type memory cards.

    Has anyone a solution to my newly purchased lightning to USB camera adapter not connecting my Sony Cybershot DSC-W730 to my new ipad Air? It says the connected device requires too much power.

    Use the camera's SD card.

  • Can you connect a usb SuperDrive if you use a lightning to usb camera adapter and a usb hub?

    I was just wondering if ypu could connect a usb SuperDrive if you use the lightning to usb camera adapter, a usb hub, and then plug the SuperDrive into the hub. Will it work to play disks, or movies, or something?

    No, drive consume too much power.
    Try using a wireless flash drive.

  • Cheapo alternative to Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter for audio interface?

    I am getting an audio interface (Steinberg UR44) which can be controlled with an iPad via the Apple Lightning USB Camera Adapter and a standard USB printer cable (Type A male  to type B male), but I am too cheap to buy the ridiculously overpriced Apple adapter, so I am wondering if the following will work instead:
    iPad --> Apple lighting male to USB Type A male cable (the standard charging cable) --> USB Type A female to Type B male adapter --> Audio Interface
    Other adapters are available for USB Type A female to Type B micro or mini male, so the same kind of arrangement might work for cameras.
    The adapters are five bucks or less vs. thirty for the RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED (yes, I know, I already said that) Apple adapter.
    I am thinking this is a better way to go than a cheap unlicensed knockoff lightning adapter, because the critical part of the connection (the lightning plug and electronics) would still be made by Apple.
    Has anyone tried the above with either an audio interface or camera?

    Because it was designed for use with the iPad. Apple makes no claim that it will work with an iPhone.

  • Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader OR Lightning to USB Camera Adapter?

    I should buy one or the other for a Nikon D3100 since they are sold separately nowadays. Which is the best choice? Considering the (not so good) reviews for both of them, I have the impression that the USB camera adapter is more universal and less prone to problems...

    All my pro camera presently use Compact Flash cards. I've never had a problem using the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter with any of my cameras.
    the choice you make should be based on what is most convenient for you. If you have multiple Cameras or have a camera with a card other than an SD then the choice is obvious.

  • What is the exact technical difference between "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" and "Lightning to USB Cable"

    Mainly I am interested in attaching the iPhone to a receiver (or car etc.) to play music.
    Both the "Lightning to USB Cable" and the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" seem to do the trick. So what is the exact technical difference between the two items?
    When connected to a receiver, is the iPhone the USB Master in both cases? Is the USB "Audio Device Class" standard used to transmit audio?

    Thanks for all the answers! I think I should specify the use case much more clearly. Sorry for not having done this earlier.
    Use Case 1:
    When I connect the iPhone to the receiver I can use the Lightning to USB, because the receiver has a female type A, just like e.g. a PC or like the charger. So I would agree that the Receiver must be the USB host, and the iPhone the USB device. This works just fine in my case, with iPhone and iPad.
    In this case, the audio goes from the device to the host, or "Audio-in".
    Use Case 2:
    A friend of mine has a small device that converts USB to Toslink. This thing has a female Mini USB Type A, which is typically used at the receiving side of a USB connection. This device can be connected e.g. to a Mac, and then the Mac can output audio via this device to receiver which accepts optical Toslink signals.
    In this case, the audio goes from the host to the device, or "Audio-out".
    It is this use case 2 that I am unsure about:
    a) Can the Lightning to USB cable be used in this case (assuming that I find the necessary non-standard adapters to actually connect the USB ports)? This would mean that the iPhone can act as a USB host with the Lightning to USB cable.
    b) I know that the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter does convert the iPad into an USB host, otherwise it could not read data from a camera. So could this adapter also be used to produce "Audio out" to a USB device that supports receiving music?
    If yes, would this also work with an iPhone (as pointed out in another answer, the iPhone does nor support reading pictures from a camera)?

  • How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

    How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
    I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
    Thanks

    Simple question with a not so simple answer.
    (a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations.  Digital video is processor intensive.  The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it.  If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus.  You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
    (b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
    How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
    (1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
    If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
    This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
    (2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
    Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
    Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
    iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
    iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
    In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
    (3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
    Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
    However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
    (If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
    (4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
    If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
    If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
    (5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo.  For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

    Hello brianrice,
    From the product page at the Apple store for the Lightning Digital AV Adaptor:
    Use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter with your iPad with Retina display, iPad mini, iPhone 5, and iPod touch (5th generation) with Lightning connector. The Lightning Digital AV Adapter supports mirroring of what is displayed on your device screen — including apps, presentations, websites, slideshows, and more — to your HDMI-equipped TV, display, projector, or other compatible display in up to 1080p HD.
    It also outputs video content — movies, TV shows, captured video — to your big screen in up to 1080p HD. Simply attach the Lightning Digital AV Adapter to the Lightning connector on your device and then to your TV or projector via an HDMI cable (sold separately).

  • Original Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter gives warning

    I have a 4th generation iPad with iOS 7.1 and the original Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter bought online from the US Apple Store. Whenever I plug it in the iPad I get this warning: 'This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPad.' If I close the iPad cover and leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it and go to the Settings<General<About page the cck is listed. I tried the lightning usb adapter on an iPad with iOS 6 and it was immediately recognized. Is this a software problem or a faulty camera adapter?

    The original Camera Connection Kit uses a 30-pin connector thile the iPad 4 has a lightning connector. You mention an adapter. Are you using an original Apple-branded adapter? I have seen other posts here that say it is likely this adapter that is causing the problem.
    Using the Lightning connectors do no cause this problem.

  • Lightning to USB camera adapter.

    I recently purchased an IPAD MINI and a Lightning to USB Camera adapter.  I went to plug my Sony Cyber Shot digital camera into my Ipad Mini via the adapter and it says "USB DEVICE REQUIRES TOO MUCH POWER.  Yet, when I plugged in my big Nikon D5000 SLR camera, it works fine.  My problem is, we like to carry around the smaller Sony camera more often, and it wont work with the new adapter.  Any suggestions?

    Please try to disable USB charging (if available) on your Sony Cyber Shot or set USB connection type as  [PTP] (Picture Transfer Protocol) or Mass Storage Device.
    If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content. If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
    Good luck!

  • Lightning to USB camera adapter polarity sensitive?

    Lightning to USB camera adapter works with Nikon D90 camera well, only the lightning plug is polarity sensitive. If you turn around it doesn't work anymore. Is that normal or is my cable may be defective?

    Hi Tom,
    Did jou also test this Adapter Cable? Is it possible this works different?
    Thanks, Gerrit
    I only have the lightning cable on my iPhone and it works either way. My iPad 2 camera connection kit uses the prior 30-pin connector.

    It's not polarized. Yours must be defective.
