How to transfer images directly from the camera to iPhone

It should be noted that you cannot use this way to upload the reverse image from your phone to your camera.

Use card reader Lightning-to-USB camera

Use wireless Adapter

Modern technology today allows us to transfer data wirelessly easily.Wireless adapter is such a device.

A good example is the Nikon WU-1a wireless mobile adapter in the illustration.When this device is plugged into your camera it turns into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot that your iPhone can connect to.However, instead of allowing internet access, this adapter helps you transfer photos from camera to phone.

But first you will have to install Nikon's Wireless Mobile Utility (Download in iTunes) to transfer images.Once you have access to the application, you can optionally move the image to other photo applications on your phone or share them via email or social network.
