    We've addressed this question here so many times. Cameras, regardless of make or model don't work that way... you can't load photos onto a card and see them in the camera, it doesn't work like that.

    The camera can only see files it took before anything has been done to them. When you upload the files are altered slightly and the camera can no longer see them.

    Find some other viewing device.

    Card MUST be formatted on your camera.

    You can try to keep photos on computer, put SD card into camera and format it.

    Then use cable to connect to camera and open two Windows Explorers and drag from computer to camera...hopefully.
