Browse Nikon D700/D7000 photos from Galaxy Nexus


Galaxy Nexus doesn't support USB Mass Storage, such that it cannot read memory card from external card reader via OTG Cable. Luckly, it support MTP(or PTP). Nikon D700/D7000 support MTP/PTP also, such that you can browse D700/D7000 from Galaxy Nexus directly. What you need is a USB OTG cable.



Just plug in the cable and turn on the Camera, Android's Gallery will open with Nikon's folder added:)

Notice for D7000: You have to insert SD Cards in both slots. Otherwise, the Nikon's folder will be empty without photos.
