I recently transferred photos from my Nikon to my iPhone using the method described. It was pretty straightforward! I plugged my camera into my computer first and then used iTunes to sync. It took a little bit of time, but it worked perfectly. Just make sure to have the latest version of iTunes installed.
I’m new to this! Does my Nikon D3500 work with the SnapBridge app? I want to make sure before I try to set this up.
