turning on your VAIO computer, and slideshow or thumbnail view is selected in the USB
Auto Start settings. Photo files must be stored in a folder under the DCIM folder for
automatic start of playback. Also, the folder name under the DCIM folder is required to
be a combination of 3 numerals and 5 letters (can include “_”), for example, 101MSDCF.
