The iPod Camera Connector requires a Fifth Generation iPod, iPod photo (also known as iPod with color display) and a supported camera or media reader1. Other iPod models, including iPod mini, iPod nano, iPod (Click Wheel), and iPod shuffle, are not supported with the iPod Camera Connector.
The iPod Camera Connector supports cameras with USB connectivity based on the following commonly used protocols:
- PTP
- Type 4 (or Normal)
- Mass Storage
For the complete list of supported cameras, see this webpage.
If you're using Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger), you can use Image Capture to quickly verify what protocol your camera supports. To do this:
- Connect your camera
- Open Image Capture
- Click the "Options" button and then click the "Information" Tab
The picture below shows an example of a supported camera that uses the Type 4 protocol.
If you're using Mac OS X 10.3.x, you can use Image Capture to quickly verify what protocol your camera supports. To do this:

You can also check your camera's owner manual or the vendor's website to find out what protocols your camera supports. Also see "iPod Camera Connector: Choosing a photo importing protocol on a camera" for additional information.
