EOS R6 Mark II won't let me use RAW images for dual exposure

makenaslens — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 17:06:57 GMT

I have the R6 and have been doing a lot of dual exposures by selecting an image in camera and having that set as the first photo before taking the second. I shoot in RAW and have never had a problem with the camera not letting me choose a RAW image for dual exposure. Since getting the Mark ii, when I try to do this, it says I have no compatible images to pick from.

Comparing the Multiple Exposure section of the camera manuals for both cameras the R6 says RAW image and the R6 Mark II says JPEG image, so it looks like the capability weas changed.

I have been doing multiple exposure since 5Dii, frankly it's one of the few reasons why i'm still with Canon. (5Diii/5Div/5DSR/1D4/1DxI>III, R5/R6) now i skipped the R5ii and R6ii. picked up R6iii today as a backup camera and found out M.E. is not able select images, so i digged and saw your Q and read jrhoffman75's reply.

I always shoot RAW+JPEG but using S2 for jpeg.
to resolve .. need to shoot L size JPEG. then you can pick images again.
