Transfer Photos From Camera to iPhone or iPad or iPhone
While iPhone has an impressive Camera, there are users who prefer shooting with a professional digital camera and later on editing photos on an iPad or iPhone.

The method to transfer Photos from Camera to iPhone or iPad depends on the type of storage used by the Camera and whether or not it comes with an App to transfer Photos. Once the Photos are imported, you will find them all in Imports Album within the Photos App on your iPhone.
