iPhone photo import say not enough free storage - but I have loads

I am trying to import photos using the SD card adapter but my iphone says i don't have enough space - approx 3GB.

I have about ~28GB free on my iPhone.

My iCloud account has +100GB free.

Where don't I have enough space... it is not telling me!
