Don't give me bad news. Need help with a Sony Mark 4 and internal memory.

[Baitball Blogger]

Took pictures last night on my camera and only realized later that the SD card was not in the camera. On my old cybershot there was internal memory that retained a certain number of photos. It was limited, but it would have been enough for the five photos I took that I wanted to keep.

I did a search on the internet and found one source that said that the Mark 4 does not feature internal memory. I know that is not 100% accurate because I can take a picture without an SD card, and the picture remains "frozen" in the frame.

Are there any cyber-shot gurus that know any tricks to access photos on internal memory of a sony mark 4 camera?

1. Havde you tried connecting the camera to your computer via USB?

Is this the Sony DSC-RX100M4 video camera? Do you have the Sony Play Memories software installed on your computer?

Chances are there is some buffer memory in the camera but I'm not sure if you can access it. (This DP review says there is some DRAM memory on the sensor chip: "However, since the Bionz X processor can't cope with all this additional data, Sony has also built some DRAM memory into the back of the chip, acting as a buffer to store the data and feed it to the image processor at a speed it can handle." https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sony-cybershot-dsc-rx100-iv)

I'd try connecting the camera using the software and see if it can find the most recent photos. I'd also try putting the memory card into the camera and see if any pictures in the buffer would be transferred to the card.

You could also try the Sony Photo Recovery software (http://www.sony-photo-recovery.com/) but the information on the page does not say if it will recover images in internal buffers.

Good luck!
