The Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter simplifies transferring high-quality photos and videos from your digital camera to your iPad Pro. Upon connection, it launches the Photos app for easy import and organization. To expand your iPad Pro’s capabilities, you can power the adapter with a USB Power Adapter and connect various USB peripherals like hubs, Ethernet adapters, audio/MIDI interfaces, and card readers (CompactFlash, SD, microSD, etc.). The adapter supports common photo formats (JPEG and RAW) and video formats (H.264 and MPEG-4), offering USB 3 speeds on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st and 2nd gen) and 10.5-inch iPad Pro, while the 9.7-inch iPad Pro operates at USB 2 speeds.
