Could you give us the specs of your camera? Name, brand, type, size, etc? That might help us help you better.

This file extension (.gif) is for graphic image (not quite a photo). Most popular extension is .jpg which is a photograph. That's what you need to open your [filename].jpg.

I think I might not able to help you if you are using an IBM PC.

Let's try this to see what happens. You need to make a copy of your filename and change it from [filename].gif to [filename].jpg. I do not want your original file to be overwritten. Then, you open the filename.jpg to see if it is a photo.

(i.e. Let's say that you have a happyface.gif. Copy that file then change it from happyface.gif to happyface2.jpg)

If you use a clip motion, the filename extension probably is .mov .

You need to upgrade your software's version on Sony's support website. A download should be free - you have check that out on the internet. Good luck!
