Well, I have an interesting issue. Probably a silly one, but I hope you guys can find an answer.

I own a pretty new Sony digital camera and it takes pictures like a beast, but when I try to look at the pictures I have taken on the camera LCD screen, a few of them give me this blue screen/background that says "cannot display file." The odd thing is that I can remove the memory card and put it in my laptop and all the pictures show up fine. Its not a terrible problem, but very annoying when I can't look up/review pictures straight from the camera.

Anyone know what the problem is?

This happens to me when I "edit" (usually turn a photo the 'right' way) on the memory card, when it's in the computer.

When I then put the memory card back into the camera it shows up as a question mark, because it doesn't understand why I turned it, for lack of a better term.

I don't like editing from the card, for that reason. I dump all of my pics through USB to my computer for editing, then format the card.

Interesting. It seems to always happen at random, whether I change the picture or not. I usually don't do any sort of editing from the camera itself, but that could be part of the issue.
