    It depends on the camera, but some have a special mode for offloading photos but not trying to charge the camera through the USB port. For others, you may have to pull out the SD card (if that's what it uses) and use the Lightning to SD card reader instead.

     

    Maybe if you told us what camera you are connecting, somebody here with the same model can give you more specific information.
