Having the same issue and found this thread useful. For me, when I plugged in my SD card into my reader, the movie clips were under: Removable Disk (D:) > Private > M4ROOT > CLIP.  Saved as .MP4 and .XML files.

Hello! I recently bought an A7III and shoot some footage with it but I can't seem to find the location of it on my computer. Where do I go to find the footage?

 

Also, I can't preview the raw images I've captured. If I want to see the images, I have to open Lightroom. However, I seem to be having no trouble at all with my a6000.

 

Any help will be appreciated!

Aren't the video files on one of the two video cards in camera?  (where they are depends how you have programmed the camera to use the cards).  Put the card in your computer, copy the files to your desktop, and click to view.

I have to convert RAW using Adobe Digital Negative Converter since I have Lightroom 6.14 and it doesn't decode the Sony A7III RAW files.

My problem is I can view my pictures on my computer but not the videos, it's like they do not exist. However, when I put the memory back in the camera, I can view the pictures and videos I have taken. Can anyone help me?

I don’t know if this will help but my experience has been that the photo/video import has to be done through the PlayMemories Software in order to see the video. I would appreciate it if anyone else has found another way. I am using MacOSX.

I believe you can import the video on a Mac using iMovie. I tested this with my A7RIII and 4K video and it worked. (Unfortunately, it takes at least ten minutes to load iMovie alone on my ancient Mac.)

I have the problem that none of my videos are saved as .mp4 on clip, not even on mp4root.. I find them in a different folder as .MTS files that I can’t do anything with. I can’t see anything in the camera menu that changes this, anyone got any ideas?

      Blurry images on Sony 70-350

      By Cameratose · Posted

      That's supposed to be a pretty good APS-C lens. Can you try it on a different camera just for the heck of it? Friend? Camera shop? The lens is noted for sharpness, so if you're having as much trouble as you say, you may want to look into a replacement or repair.

      Blurry images on Sony 70-350

      By broz_tito · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to the community because I’m facing a persistent image quality issue with my Sony 70–350mm f/4.5–6.3 G OSS lens, and I’d like to know if this is normal behavior or if my copy is defective. Problem description: I’ve extensively compared the 70–350mm G OSS with my Sony 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 OSS, using a Sony A6700, under controlled conditions: • Identical lighting and background • Same subject and position (LEGO figure, consistent framing) • Tripod or steady support • Manual focus or AF with center point • Same shutter speed (e.g., 1/200s), similar ISO (ISO 4000–6400), RAW + JPEG • OIS turned on (and also tested with OIS off) My observations: • At 135mm, the 70–350mm G OSS delivers softer, flatter images than the 18–135mm, even when stopped down. • At 350mm, the sharpness drops significantly – the center is soft, and textures (like LEGO tiles or fabric) appear blurred or smudged. • Contrast and micro-detail are noticeably inferior across all focal lengths. • The 18–135mm at 135mm (even cropped) retains better edge sharpness and detail definition. • Both JPEG and RAW files confirm the issue – this is not just JPEG processing or noise reduction. Question to the community: • Have others experienced similar softness with the 70–350mm? • Is it possible I have a decentered or optically misaligned copy? • Is there a known issue with OSS introducing softness at long focal lengths? I wanted to love this lens due to the range and portability, but currently it’s unusable for anything where image quality matters. I’m considering returning or sending it for service. Thanks in advance for any feedback or comparison results you can share.

      I'm pretty confident OP made up his mind in the past 14 months.
