It takes a long time to import images or update the database.

Importing images requires updating the database, which may take a long time depending on the amount of data.

PlayMemories Home updates the database when installing or importing images. It takes a longer time in the following cases.

  • When more than 10,000 images are stored in PlayMemories Home.
  • When a large amount of movie files are stored.
  • When browsing the images stored on an external hard disk or on a drive connected with network.
