Been trying to view some photos straight out of camera Jpeg on the TV, and most of them have the lighting bolt symbol across them and can't be viewed. I thought the files might be corrupt, so I tried taking more photos, but this time in RAW and converting them. This time most of them are visible on the TV but still a couple not viewable. Just finally figured out, the ones not viewable are all above 10MB as when I re size below 10MB they then become readable.

Seems the TV cant read files bigger than 10MB, just wonder why? Plus I do not really want to be resizing files, just so I can see them on TV, I may want to print them out one day...

PS

All the images can be viewed on the Computer though..

Not sure why. I've a 4 year old Panasonic smart TV and it shows my 16mb images OK.
I use a separate card reader plugged into the USB rather than straight into the card reader slot on the TV, as it's hard to access the slot due to the TV being on the wall.
I have tried the TV slot in the past though, with no issues.

My TV is a fairly new one, with all the latest media slots in the side panel. Just thinking on now, I do recall I had this problem once before with another camera that creates larger file sizes. At the time I thought it was because I had converted them from RAW and they had become corrupted in some way. I have now figured it is the file size that is the problem. There is a work around, and that is loading them through a media box, and linking it up to the TV.

Just a bit of a faff about that's all, I will have a hunt around and see if I have a card reader to plug into TV first :)
