  Please keep in mind, the following points

  • Never eject memory card in between file transfer process
  • Never capture new photos using Sony RX100 after deletion or loss of raw files to avoid data overwriting

  You can try to fix your card manually by
  1. Checking it in some other device
  2. Try to format it in camera only
  3. Insert your SD card in system and run “chkdsk”
  4. If any of the above or other methods do not work , then you can recover back your photos with the mentioned program above

  Try to connect the SD card through a USB cable. Sometimes, card reader do not work due to certain incompatibility. Also please check with upgrading your device with the latest firmware.
