Actually, there may be something missing here. You may want to re-word you post. As an owner of an A7III and an A7IV, I'm having difficulty understanding the issue.

Hi Jeff

Apologies an A7III

Photos save to SD no issue however video only seems to save to the camera memory

Thanks

Turn on camera and make sure that the lower Shoot Mode dial on top the camera is set to movie

Go to the menu (Menu button) just to the left of the View Finder

Touch the Shooting Menu (the little camera icon, second row down)

Select Page 2 (Rec Media Settings)

Touch that line to open and tell me what the setting is for the second line “Recording Media”

What is it set to? Internal memory is NOT one of the choices

If I had to guess, I would guess it is set at “Slot 1”. If so, your movie is on the card in slot 1, but buried in the file structure.

HI Jeff

Thank you for taking the time to advise.

In the Rec Settings video was set to slot 1. I was looking for the footage in the DCIM folder which was empty.

The files were in a private folder>M4ROOT folder.

Been there, done that. A Sony mystery. I forgive them.
