iPad camera kit error "device uses too much power"

Further to my previous reply to Mcfosters:

(1) It works fine with the card reader that came with the Apple camera connection kit. (I did not have that handy at the time I tried with the SanDisk reader.)

(2) Some research indicated that Apple only supports the camera connection kit for use with iPads; not iPhones.

A friend emailed me the following when I ran across the issue:

• It is possible that your camera has a low battery. Try charging your camera. Try it again with a full charge on the camera.
• Keep your camera connected to the charging unit while connected to the iPad.
• It may be that your camera is trying to charge from your iPad but iPad is simply not producing enough power for your camera. Check your camera menu/options. Look for charge options and disable “charge from computer” (different cameras may have different wording).
• If nothing above works, your camera may not be compatible with iOS devices or you may have defective hardware.

However, I just purchased this one and I haven't had an issue yet. I suspect that I may have purchased a knock-off previously:

Thanks!

This worked to get my Sony to connect to my iPhone. The setting on the camera was USB Power Supply. I turned that to off and connected in the order you gave. Loaded the import option in Photos.

Im now having this problem my Nikon DSLR has never connected via the kit, but I used to take the card out and import via the card reader but now it just comes up as this attachment uses to much power.

Not exactly the solution I needed, but it helped.

I have a Sony DSC RX100 M3. Instead of setting the Menu/Tools/USB Connection to "Mass Storage" I enabled "AUTO."

Works.
