Transferring Images to Your Phone
Fear not! It’s not as scary as it seems to transfer images from your DSLR camera to your Android device. I’m here to help, whether you’re a novice or a pro photographer. Let’s begin!
Viewing and sharing your DSLR images on your Android device is easy-peasy.
Transferring images via USB
Transferring photos from your DSLR to your Android can be tough. Here’s how to do it via USB.
Plug the included USB cable into the microUSB port on your Android. Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on your camera. Press the power button on your camera and check for message prompts.
Most devices will show an AutoPlay window. Others need image capture software or an app like File Commander. You could also use Google Photos.
Look in the DCIM (Digital Camera Images) folder in local storage to select pictures. Move them into a folder of your choice.
After all images are transferred, back them up with a streaming service like Dropbox or Google Drive. Remember to disconnect the camera before ejecting it. Data loss and media corruption can occur if you don’t.
Transferring images via Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a great way to move photos from your camera to your Android device. Many DSLR cameras have Wi-Fi built-in, but you may need to buy an accessory to make an older camera have Wi-Fi.
Once your camera is Wi-Fi connected, you can use its settings to transfer photos directly from its memory card onto your Android.
Every camera and Android device is different, so read the instructions in your owner’s manual.
Also, you can transfer files with NFC (near field communication). This works like a mini Wi-Fi Direct network, connecting two compatible devices for data transfer within 4 inches.
Setup is usually quick and easy – check what features your camera has to get started quickly.

Viewing images on the camera’s LCD screen
Want to quickly view your DSLR camera’s photos? Use the LCD screen! Set your DSLR to playback mode.
Scroll to select a photo or video you wish to view. Magnify images for better detail and color. Most DSLR cameras have a histogram feature that shows brightness, colors, etc.
Press ‘OK’ if satisfied. If not, press ‘Go Back’ or ‘Play again’ to make adjustments before saving.
Viewing images on the phone’s gallery
Many phones have their own photo gallery as part of their OS. You can view pics and videos quickly with it.
Just go to the home screen and tap the “Photos” or “Gallery” icon. It’s usually near the bottom. You’ll see all the folders you created in your library.
On iPhones or iPads, access the image viewer by going to Settings > Photos & Camera.
Then tap “View All Photos”. You’ll see something like Windows Photo Viewer.
This allows you to easily navigate between pics on your device or cloud-based service.
The apps can enhance viewing images. They may come with features like automatic picture effects based on the keywords in the pic file name.
For example, words like “sunset” or “beach” can bring out filters that improve lighting or colors in the pic.
To make use of these features and manage your pics across platforms, consider a cloud-based photo storage service.
