Sony Cybershot DSC-W830 download pictures to an iPad Air ... how?

Thanks JimHdk. We are very new to all this and aren't familiar with powered USB hubs. How can I get more info on this? If it's something that will allow us to connect the camera directly to the iPad and resolve the power issues I would like to give it a try.

Thanks ChrisJ4203. I've just downloaded iTunes to my daughter's PC but I have no idea how to sync the iPad with the PC to get the pictures from the PC to the iPad. Is there a step by step list of instructions somewhere we can refer to?

Thanks for the link ChrisJ4203. We just followed the steps to move a photo from the computer to the iPad! I still want to be able to transfer the photos directly though the lightning connector since that's simple for my daughter but the iTunes sync method will allow us to move forward with our project in the meantime. Thank you!

I tried a powered USB hub and using it I was able to import pictures as long as there wasn't any video on the camera. I'll open another discussion on what to do about the video problem now that the camera is communicating with the iPad. Thank you!

This sounds promising. I was actually googling it when you sent your reply. If and when I get one and it works, I'll be sure to reply here and let you and others know. Thanks!
