thakurdalipsingh Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 <p>I have Sony a6000 camera. When I want to copy pictures from its card it shows 4 folders, like-<br>1. DCIM.<br>2. MP_ROOT.<br>3. PRIVATE.<br>4. WMPInfo.<br>Though only 1 DCIM folder contains picture files. Others are almost empty.<br>Pl tell what shud I do? Copy all folders or only DCIM? If to copy all folders cause they r important for data storage then wherever I take back up,shud all these folders be backed up with picture files?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roberto_kozima Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 <p>DCIM folder contains still images (.JPG and raw files).<br> MP_ROOT folder contains .MP4 video files.<br> AVCHD folder (inside PRIVATE folder) contains high-definition . MTS (AVC-HD) video files. <br> So, if you only have still images, copy only DCIM folder.<br> If you have video footage recorded, you will need to copy the MP_ROOT or AVDHD folder, depending on the type of footage recorded. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
