Experia V - can't see images in DCIM Android 4.1.2

Vigs — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 03:26:31 GMT

Hi, having read several similar posts I'm also having trouble seeing the contents of the DCIM folder. I have tried both PC companion - no photos appear when phone connected using both using MTP and MSC. Of course the images are there by viewing on the camera using ALBUM or the camera itself. I can see the DCIM folder in windows explorer but all I see are the thumbnails and a THUMDATA file which seems big enough to be the images themselves zipped up or whatever. Any suggestions - at present I'm having to bluetooth to another device to get the photos off - not ideal!!

cheers Vigs

THUMBDATA is a folder where the thumbnails for pictures are saved in order to be previewed.Do you have a lock for your phone?

What do you mean lock? screen lock? Still can't see the actual image files DSC****.jpg or the ANDRO100 directory under DCIM from the computer. The file manager on the phone shows me the directory on the SD card, is there someway that the SD contents are not visible?
