I have a Sony HDR PJ 580 VE camcorder, and import the files to my computer with the original software

Play Memories Home, and in the software you can make the adjustment of removing the imported files from my camcorder (after the import of course), this however doesn't work. The files have to be deleted manually on the camera.

This is very, very irritating, I'm sure i'm not the onely one how has discovered this problem, is ther anyone who has the solution to this problem?

    Hello wier500

     

    This may be a glitch in the software if you are following the above procedure but not getting the desired results. I have noticed that an updated version of PlayMemories Home was released on 10th August (Version 1.3.02) and it is available to download from here:

    Try installing this latest version and let me know if this solves the problem with importing/deleting content.

     

    Thanks,

    If you connect a camcorder both the storage card and build in memory are "read only". Therefore the "could not delete" message appears. You have to use the camera function to delete the files, even if the option "delete files after import" is selected in the PlayMemories/Picture Motion Browser.
