  • Image field isn't Media. It's belong to Media entity type. So you need to add relationship that connect Media with Image field.

You can add more info about the referenced Media in your content Views through a Relationship for that Media field.

Add the Relationship (under Advanced Views settings) called something like Media referenced from field_mixed_media under the Content Category.

You can Require it if you only want to see nodes that have that Field filled in (not empty).

Once you add that Relationship you will see more options when adding new Fields and Filters.

In your case you'll want to add the Filter Media type from the Media Category, it will use the Relationship by default, and Expose it.

The Exposed filter will show as a drop-down select list. If you want it display as checkboxes you can use the Better Exposed Filters module.
