Title: Camera to Nexus app?
Post by: steveclecy on January 05, 2013, 05:14:36 PM
Anyone know of an App that will allow me to connect my camera's USB cable to the Nexus (via an OTG cable) and be able to download/review/edit pictures?

Nexus Media Importer has a free photo importer  app to test . Hope things work out.

you likely do NOT need a separate app if your camera is compatible.  { But you can also use NMI and MTP mode ! }

set the Nexus 7 in USB camera mode   settings > storage > 3 periods at top right (menu) > USB computer connection > Camera (PTP) mode selected > exit

plug the camera cable into the OTG and plug the entire assembly into the microUSB with the Camera ON.

If compatible, your pictures will be available ...

Plenty of links on the web - here is an example   http://www.hyperborea.org/journal/2012/10/nexus7-otg/ (http://www.hyperborea.org/journal/2012/10/nexus7-otg/)

Thanks guys! Sorted.  Now using Nexus Media player and an OTG cable can transfer pictures direct from my camera to the Nexus - saves taking laptop away as the 7" screen is perfect for reviewing and editing pictures.   :D
