Connecting via USB C cable
Posted: 20 Aug 2016, 18:15
I am trying to connect my Nexus 5x device to my Nikon camera via USB cable. The Nexus 5x has USB C. I couldn't find a Nikon cable with a USB C plug, so I purchased a USB C -> USB (regular) cable. I connect both cables, plug them in and can see that the camera connects (a usb icon shows up in the Android message bar).
When I open it, it says "USB supplying power to attached device" - Tap for more options.
Clicking on it, brings up a menu:
Use USB to
Charge this devide
Supply power
Transfer files
Transfer photos (PTP)
Use device as MIDI
But the only option that seems to work is "Supply power".
And when I open up qDslrDashboard and choose the USB icon to connect, it just stops (get an Android error message).
Any ideas how to fix this?
