I have the newest version of Sony's Playmemories and it doesn't recognize Thunderbird as default therefore I am unable to email pictures from the program.

Chosen solution

It should be possible to import photos from a digital camera or smartphone to your computer, and then send them as attachments in TB. It doesn't even require any special software: plug the camera into a USB port on the computer and it will ask you what to do. Or, open the Photos app that is part of W10 and click Import in the upper right corner.

If your PC has a card reader, insert the camera's memory card and browse the contents with File Explorer.

Most of those programs use the system default email client. I have never heard of the Sony software but I know it has nothing to do with Thunderbird.

I followed your directions but playmemories still won't open default email program to enable me to email images. I am so frustrated about how to get images from camera to email. I may just have to rely on phone camera. This is not why I bought a camera. thanks for trying to help me.
