No XAVC S support in Photos?
“I recently purchased a Sony RX10 camera with the version 2.0 firmware update. My Photos app will recognize, load and play MP4 or MOV files from my SD XC card, but not XAVC S. I went to Sony’s site to download their free software, but it’s on a cloud based Internet site. I’m not too excited about getting into that. Any other things I might try?”
