I got a a7c recently.

I could import the Raw files to Photos on my Mac without problem.

But yesterday all the Raw files on my SD cards appears blank on the Finder or Photos.

in Photos before import them I get the preview but after import them all RAW picture are blank in Photos.

I could imported them on my iPad.

I strange because I didn't upgrade my camera neither my Mac.

I use compressed RAW files but I got the same issue with uncompressed files.

The a7c version is 1.01

Mac MacBook Pro 16inch intel is 11.6

I found that if I format the SD card in the camera it fixed the issue.

I first exported the jpeg  with Image Edge Desktop😉

If I import picture in Photos and delete them after import

I get "Unable to display" in the camera Playback

Does that mean that I have to format the SD cards each time I import picture to my Mac

to avoid question mark and .ARW issue?

I didn't had such trouble using my Fujifilm X-S10

Also, movie doesn't get imported automatically in Photos?

Is  /Private/M4ROOT/Clip the only way to export movie without opening Movie of Final Cut?

I'm not sure why you have a problem, is your Mac system upto date?

If you have formatted the card in-camera for the first time and it has fixed that issue, that was probably the problem - any new cards you get will need formatting in the same way. (It could be that your Fujifilm came with a card already formatted?)

If you import to Photos and click the "delete after import" button. it clears those files from your card - so the camera is "unable to display". It does not mean you cannot display new photos on the card.

There should be no problem transferring .AWR (RAW) files to photos. I do it all the time from my A7Rii.

There is no need to re-format your card every time, although it is good practice to do it every now and again.

I cannot comment on video as I don't shoot any.

thebeardedgroundsman Thank you for your reply.

About "unable to display"

Format the SD card with the camera fixed the "unable to display" question marks in the camera.

Ii's looks like if I erase the pictures of the SD cards from the computer the camera system get confuse.

Sure I can see the new pictures I took on the camera but all those question "?" marks are annoying.

And format the SD card each time with the camera to fix it is annoying also.

Fujifilm doesn't format the SD card automatically the first time I use it, but I don't get "unable to display"

message if I delete the picture from my computer.

About the Raw issue :

I update my a7c ILCE-7c to the 2.0 firmware 

I also discovered the Sony Camera Driver for Mac Intel and Silicon, and I installed too.

I don't know which one helped, but now I can see .ARW Raw files in the Finder or in Photos

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
