Import images from Sony camera without corrupting database on SD card
Hi,
since my very first version of Capture One, it has been annoying that I can't use the C1 import&delete function with my Sony cameras because it will corrupt the database file on the SD card.
You will need to fix the SD card through the camera menu functions. Or you install and use the Sony PlayMemoryApp solely to get the files from the SD card onto your C1 import folder on your hard drive. Or you import without delete and then delete by formatting the SD card. All this of course adds EXTRA unnecessary steps to your workflow.
With C1 v21 claiming to improve productivity, I am astonished that Phase One STILL hasn't fixed this basic. If Sony can write a software doing this properly, Phase One should be able, too.
Simply contact Sony for the necessary steps and implement, done. That would be most welcome.

I think they should remove the Delete after import option.
Camera manufacturers, in general, always recommend reformatting in camera. Probably with good reason. It takes a couple of seconds ar you know. On that basis, and used regularly, it should hardly have any impact on any workflow that I can envisage.

@SFA: Sony's own software manages to reliably import & delete pictures from the SD card. If you don't trust any SW to do this, fine.
But for me, it is simply extra, unnecessary effort importing the files through Sony SW first to the harddrive and only then being able to use them in C1. Especially since C1 DOES have the function of Import&delete - it simply doesn't work correctly.
Phase One certainly has connections to the Sony R&D team, it should not be a major obstacle knowing what to do to make this work properly.
You don't format your PC external harddrive either when transfer data back & forth, do you?
