Sony Alpha 7 III star ratings lost when importing directly from SD Card mounted

Gerd Riedel

I just recently bought the Sony Alpha 7 III and wanted to use the internal star rating feature.

There seems to be an import bug in Capture One 20 though:

When I import directly from SD Card (using the USB connection to the camera) the star rating is ignored and the resulting ARW File in the Capture One catalog is missing the rating that was there before.

In contrast when I copy the ARW Files in Finder from the mounted SD Card (Camera connected with USB) to my harddisk and THEN import to Capture One, the Star Ratings is correctly imported and still part of the RAW File.

    Sooo... I found the culprit and it's not Capture One...

    I'm using both SD card slots mirroring every image I take to the 2nd card for data safety.

    But the camera will write ratings just to the first card. So when you connect your camera via usb and both slots show up as storage mounts you have to select the correct one (first slot) to import from to retain the ratings.

    I already contacted Sony Support about this. Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
