Reader Joan Morton has an old adapter but is considering a new one. She writes:</p>

When I purchased my original iPad I also bought Apple’s iPad Camera Connection Kit (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit)—the two adapters that let you import pictures via USB or an SD card. I now have an iPad Air and wondered if there was some way I could continue using them.

<p>
The unspoken elipsis in your question is “These things have a 30-pin connector and my iPad Air has a Lightning connector so….”</p><p>
The answer is yes, you can continue to use them with the assistance of a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter), such as the $29 model offered by Apple. You just place it between the iPad and original camera connection adapter and you’ll still be able to import your images from a connected camera or SD card.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2692613/how-to-transfer-camera-images-to-an-ipad-with-an-old-adapter.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
