EOS R5 Mark II How to save burst pics in a single file as on the EOS R6 Mark II

[petero]

In my R6 Mk2 when I used the pre-shooting shutter burst, it stored all the images in one single file so I could select one or two images and export them (save them) and then delete the single file containing all the (unwanted) images in one go.

In my R5 Mk2 the images all appear as separate single images, so after I have chosen the images I want to save from a burst, how do I delete the many unwanted images in any way other than one by one, which will involve clicking buttons for tens (hundreds) of unwanted images and take literally many minutes to do in my camera!

If I can't capture a burst at a sporting event and then choose the "money shots" in one go, and delete the rest, I will spend ages deleting unwanted shots from the memory card, defeating the whole purpose of this feature...

Help please!

Unfortunately this is not possible with the EOS R5 Mark II. Pre-shooting was developed from the RAW burst function of the older cameras including EOS R6 Mark II. Some feedback from users was that RAW burst was less useful since the single RAW burst could not be processed in the normal way without extracting on camera or using the Canon DPP software. The result is that the EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R1 now save each image as separate files, making it easier to work with them in all sorts of software, but in your example with deleting on camera after extracting the best frames it's counter productive.

If you are already used to finding the best couple of frames from the RAW burst file, you could scroll through the set of images in playback on the camera and then "protect" them - RATE button can be configured as a protect button - and then delete all the images that are not protected using the delete images function in the menu - though this is "risky" as you might delete any images on the card that are not protected. Another option would be to use the RATE button to rate the successful shots in the sequence, and then you can identify them in computer software, or use a set of image search conditions on the camera to only show rated images.
