    HELP: Hi Chris, thank you for another very informative video. I have a problem and hope you have some ideas to solve it. I took photos on my X-T3 and can flip through the photos on my camera in the playback mode. When I take the SD card out of the camera to move the photos to my hard drive, I can’t see the last 30 photos in the sub directory of the SD card. I can see all other pictures (about 2000). Mind that I use only slot 1 with one SD card. When I insert the card back into the camera, I can see the last 30 pictures clearly with the filename. Where are they? Any thoughts?

    Most interesting - def a bug I'd say. Thanks for making us aware, and I did confirm it's happening on my MBP16 also. But interestingly, I hadn't noticed because the only USB storage devices I've attached are ext disks via a USB-C connected HUB, AND a flash drive that I inserted into an external dongle I use for HDMI (that also has a USB-A port), and it recognized all of them. I guess us early adopters will see a patch update soon. BTW - Capture One 20 seems to be working fine on Big Sur. The first app I tested.

  • @douglasrobson4624
    @douglasrobson4624 3 роки тому +1

    Fun Fact: although the card does not show up in the sidebar of Finder, it does show up in list, icon and columns view. Just click on one of your external drives in the side bar (no double click) and you should be able to see the SD Card labeled "untitled" among all your external drives. Saves you the time for renaming and rebooting the card. Hope this helps!
