TRANSFER PHOTOS & MAPS

Anyone who owns a digital camera knows that you can never have

too much storage capacity, especially when you’re traveling. With

the resolution of affordable digital cameras now reaching double-digit

megapixels (for example, the 10 megapixel Olympus Stylus 1000, or

the 16.7-megapixel Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II), you need a lot of storage

cards or a way of moving photos from a storage card to a mass storage

medium like an iPod.

I recently spoke with a professional photographer who was about to

buy a portable external FireWire drive, a FireWire PC Card adapter,

a USB card reader, and a power inverter so he could read Compact

Flash cards from his camera, store them on his FireWire drive, and

power it all in the field. For less money, I suggested that he purchase

a 40 GB iPod and one of the media readers described here.

In this section, you’ll learn how to:

• Transfer photos from a camera to an iPod (this page).

• Transfer Photos from an iPod to a Computer.

• Sync Photos from a Computer to an iPod.

• Since maps can be converted to image files, you’ll learn how to

Copy Maps to an iPod.

Transfer Photos from a Camera to an iPod

Prevoius versions of this book comparied two products in this

subsection, Apple’s iPod Camera Connector and Belkin’s Digital

Camera Link for iPod with Dock Connector. The Belkin product,

however, has been discontinued, so I cover only the Apple product

in this subsection.

Warning! Apple has changed dock connectors on iPods several

times in the last few years, so be sure to check that any accessory

that plugs into a dock-connector port is compatible with your

particular iPod model.

This is a free sample of “Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music.”
