Dear Community members,
Having just switched to the R6 Mark II body, I've noticed a slightly annoying download procedure. In my R6 I have two identical SD cards, ensuring that my images are simultaneously saved to both cards so that they are backed up.
Now, on automatic image download using Canon EOS Utility 3 (v. 3.17.0.5 on Win 11), all the images are downloaded, that is, from both cards, so that (i) download takes double time & disk space and (ii) each image comes as two identical copies, with the second copy having a "_1" extension (say, if the image from the first card has filename IMG_1234.CR3, then the one form the other card is named IMG_1234_1.CR3); apparently, both files are identical.
Although there are several ways to get rid of the backup copies after transfer, the fact that each download is doubled is quite annoying. I've gone through EOS Utility preferences, but have not been able to find an appropriate setting to avoid double transfer of images. I also don't like possible solution to remove one SD card from its slot just before transfer and putting it back after the transfer has been done -- messing up with cards increases the risk of breaking something, plus it is awkward.
Any ideas how to avoid double image transfer during automatic download?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
