Camera can't connect using cable?!

[pjny]

Hi,

My iphone 5s states the Nikon D800 is incompatible when I connect the devices using the lightning-usb female > usb 3 male to usb 3 micro(to camera).

I am on lastest version of ios 8.

I was told you can only connect using iPad even with lightning>sd adaptor

Is there anyway to get my images from an SD card to my iphone simply and without having to spend $$$ on wifi solutions such as camranger.

Anyone know why there is this restriction.

Thanks.

Thanks. I need to transmit images via ftp app when I am working so I need to be able to do this on the street.

Have you looked into the FlashAir card? Not sure if compatible with your camera, but is affordable wifi solution.

You cannot transfer images from an sd card to your iPhone with usb.
