First of all NEVER select delete photos from SD card until you are certain your data is safe. This video is about converting RAW photos to JPEG on a MAC.
I had searched Google for a simple solution but all seemed to involve other software or downloading stuff or paying for programs. I decided to 'isolate' the photos and by chance stumbled on a simple solution without losing the original RAW files that I can use in Photoshop at a later date. I can now send the pics to friends who can open them up easily. Share with your friends.
The quality of the JPEG is still good enough to play with. I cannot be responsible if you delete photos from your SD Card. I suggest you never do this until you have been able to alter the photo format either by doing this or using another method to change the format.
FastStone will do the job. Free, Simple and Quick. I use Adobe PS CS6 but have also used FastStone for 15 years.

I tried the sony software but either I'm miss reading the instructions / skipping a step or the converter does not work atleast for me the files won't save. Just hoping someone has found a freeware program that will just convert the file for viewing. I have a lot of files I need to convert at one time if possible.
