How do I shoot in Raw and jpeg at the same time on my 6D?

chitch7 — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 13:57:53 GMT

Canon 6D. I've been shooting in jpeg for a long time. I'm trying to start using Raw some. When I select to shoot in Raw and Jpeg together (Raw/Ljpeg), it seems I'm only getting pics in Raw. All pics suffix are CR2. What am I doing wrong?

What software are you using? Have you tried a card reader to look at the files directly?

Some software will treat RAW next to JPEG as a single file and only show the RAW.

"When I select to shoot in Raw and Jpeg together (Raw/Ljpeg), it seems I'm only getting pics in Raw."

I am just curious, why do you want a jpg at all? I know in the past there was some valid needs for a jpg. However, today that need is almost nonexistent. Today's software makes the need so very much less.

Anyway depending on what software you are using, it is likely a setting in it somewhere.

Make sure you have the option set correctly. It should be like the lower left image for storing both formats.

I’d just save in the RAW then use post processing to convert to jpeg. In the past I tried saving both but always ended up deleting the out of camera jpeg files anyway.

I'm using Lightroom and all the pics have a suffix of CR2.

It is Raw + L.

Did you verify the setting shown in Message #3 above?

This also begs the question, how are photos being imported into LR from the camera. Seems like a USB cable, to me.

I don't see this option in Lightroom. I just took one pic with camera and then checked the SD card. Only one pic on SD card. Double checked quality setting and it is RAW + L (jpeg).

Mine is set at RAW + L. Just took one pic and checked the SD card. Only one pic on the SD card.

Verified the setting. Just took one pic a few minutes ago. Checked SD card and there is only one pic. Import pics to LR by plugging SD card into laptop.

When you say you checked the SD card did you open it as a disk drive in Windows Explorer?

I just changed my setting to RAW/ L (jpeg) and took one pic. Loaded the one pic that is on the SD card into Lightroom. In Lightroom there is only one pic and it has a suffix of CR2.

Just tried something different......Loaded same pic from the SD card into Picasa. In Picasa there are two pics. One Raw and one Jpeg. There must be a setting in Lightroom that I need to change.

Looks like there must be a setting I need to change in Lightroom. Just took one shot and plugged SD card into Laptop. Viewing the SD card both images are there, RAW and Jpeg. Also loaded the one image into Picasa and it has both images. Load it into Lightroom and there is only one image, the Raw pic.

Go back to page 1 and look at my post. It is the third one.

I appreciate your reply. I can't find this Preference screen. I'm using Lightroom CC 2015. Thanks for your help.

Mac or PC? For PC choose Edit->Preferences->General.

For Mac choose Lightroom->Preferences->General.

Thanks!!!!!!!!! I had looked everywhere earlier and missed Preferences under Edit. I checked that box and now have two images each. One Raw and one Jpeg. Thanks again.
