Ipod camera connector and Sony dsc-p150 - how to make it work

August 2nd, 2006

On my recent 3 weeks vacation I bought an Ipod Camera Connector and used it with my Sony DSC-P150. After coming home I read elsewhere that this combination does not work stable - I had it working stable with a small change of settings and will explain how to do it the hope that other can make it work to.

How to make it work

DSC-P150 is uses the “normal” usb-mode by default, for some weird reason this is unstable with the Camera connector, but if the camera is set to use “PTP” instead it all seems to work stable.

PTP USB mode is activated by setting the wheel to setup, and select “Setup 2″ and “USB Connect”.

The real world test

When I used the connector at first, in the default “Normal” user mode, it was unstable and crashed the Ipod with out getting all of the pictures, and I had no success in several tries. With the “PTP” USB mode I have transferred all the contents of an almost filled 512 mb stick 6 times without any problems at all. If any other have problems I would like to know.

The Camera connector however still suffer from the vulnerability others have pointed out, that it could be faster and is heavy on the battery, but it is a nice solution to a common problem.
