I'm very happy with my Sony Rx100M5, but the flash has stopped working. Anyone else have that problem?

You might create a new thread explaining the specifics of your situation regarding multiple LRCAT files.

Personally, I'd identify the file I want to be the master / merged and ongoing LRCAT file. You might even create a new one with an explicit and clear name, like LR-merged-June2021. Then, create a worklist of all the files to be merged. You can then start from the new catalog inside LR and import from each LRCAT on your worklist using the File / Import from another catalog.

I believe you can instruct LR to treat duplicates as virtual copies and / or stacks. I've tested in the past but forget the specifics. There's a attribute filter for virtual copies that might be useful later to identify and purge duplicates. But, as VCs, they're just LR database entries, not actual physical files on disk.

What to do next after merging the files may be more obvious once you see the results.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to figure out how the additional catalogs were created and start a thread. I do have a Master catalog and have been following the few steps necessary to combine catalogs but now have many "missing files" which I most likely deleted outside of Lightroom and will remove. I like your worklist suggestion. And I'll look for that filter to purge duplicates, of which I have many.

Thanks guys! For making my eyes finally see what they were looking at. You made my day. All I saw were the digits, not the MB and MP after them. I will consider the compressed RAW format. Now I can devote more time to combining Lightroom catalogs that I've mistakenly created, and eliminating unwanted photos. Are there any Lightroom gurus there who make house calls?

I import photos via a direct cable connection from my Sony A7R2 (42 meg sensor) but when checking "Properties" on any uploaded photo in Explorer the pixel number is almost double, ie 82 megs when the camera is in full-frame mode, and 35 megs in APS-C mode. It's most likely a setting somewhere in the camera or in Lightroom, but my research hasn't produced any results. Any ideas?
Thanks much.

Hi Wells, and thanks for the comments. I haven't done any post processing but will check out YouTube. And you're right, I HAVE been spending a LOT less on film since using my new Lumix.
Have a good weekend.

Nice to be here, Jerry and Ron. I'm not sure I have much expertise to contribute, but I guess basic photography hasn't changed much over the years. Technically though, there's been an astronomical jump in camera design since I loaded my first roll of film. Not sure how much I can absorb and retain at the age of 70.

I was introduced to photography by the only Rollei dealer in Greenland back in 1970 where I purchased my first "real" cameras. After attending photo school and working in a couple portrait studios I returned to a career in electronics. Now retired, I'm getting into digital photography after receiving a Panasonic Lumix as a gift; having lots of fun with macro, but miss manual focus. So maybe an upgrade will happen soon. Looking forward to reading/learning a lot on the UHH.
