Hi!! I have a problem with my A7 Mk II.. ithink, there is something wrong when i copied photo from my pc to SD card, then I inserted it to my sony A7. But when i push the gallery button there are no photos that i copied before. i have tried to insert other SD card with photo file inside, but didn't work. could anyone help me? thanks!!

I'm pretty sure. this won't work with Sony cameras, since these build a database of the taken photos and only photos inside the database are known to camera and can be viewed. You could try to use the App to transfer photos to the camera.

I just wonder... what happens if the database is rebuilt? Would it pick up those "transferred from PC" files?

Just an idea.

panji_purnama, look for "Recover Image Database" in the setup menus.
