RAW picture previews loading extremely slow since IOS 8 using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Re: iPhone 6 Plus and Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader - Missed Opportunity?

You could try a wifi card or adapter. Review this thread for wifi ideas. Ask about the speed of transfer.

I have noticed that when the SD card does not have a lot of pictures (let's say 100-200) the RAW pictures are imported reasonably quickly. However, as my SD card fills up it becomes slower and slower to import. I'm on OS 8.1.2

No. There is no way to downgrade iOS.

Apple does not provide a way of downgrading to ios 7.x.

My comment what I wrote yesterday, was deleted/moderated twice. Because of what? Because I write the truth? Moderating my comment not solves my problem! iOS 8.1.3 also didn't solve my problem.

Is there any way to downgrade to IOS 7? Or is there any way to solve this issue? 😟

Downgrading iOS is never supported. I regret going from 7.1.2 to 8.1.2 too. Although I don't use it the same way as you, iOS 8 has broken a few things on my iPad Air. Photo viewing is now lagging (1 to 2 seconds) on every swipe (photo shows up half way and freezes then continues or it just doesn't move on to the next photo for 1-2 seconds). App update/installation hangs if I forgot to sign in to iTunes Store. Those are just 2 problems that I've found. Not sure what other problems there are until I come across them.

I've an Ipad Air 128gb upgraded to IOS 8.4 and the problem persists (extremely slow raw import, mistaking of import elements not recognizing correctly the elements already imported). My camera is an Olympus OMD10 and EM5 and I'm shooting in raw.

Fix it please!

We can complain about Apple's business decisions, but these discussions are user to user talk about possible solutions.

Here are the places to report bugs:

Get an account at

http://developer.apple.com/ then submit a bug report to http://bugreporter.apple.com/

Once on the bugreporter page,

-- click on New icon

-- See if you need to attach a log file or log files, clicking on Show instructions for gathering logs. Scroll down to find the area or application that matches the problem.

-- etc.

Import the photo a different way.

Solutions:

1) Use the i-FlashDrive. You use an app to access what is attached to the adapter.

2) Wifi version of a memory card.

the Problem still applies with iOS 9 and even 9.1pb. 😟

My iPad Air 2 128GiB running iOS 9.0.2 and using original lightning SD Adapter is about 10 to 20 times slower when importing JPEG+RAW than my four year old iPad 2 32GB importing only JPEG.

Which makes the whole thing useless to check and edit your pictures on the go with an iPad.

I have the same problem. Totally annoying.

It would already be of help if I could tell the iPad to ignore RAWs and only look at the JPEGs, if that would make it faster. That way I could at least look through them and share some on the go. I only need the RAWs on my Mac at home anyways. I don't edit those on the iPad.
