EOS R5 Mark II Maximum number of videos in a card reached

[enrico271]

I recently bought R5 mark ii and found out that the camera does not allow more than 999 video clips in a card, even though I have plenty of storage space available in that card. I get an error:

”Clips number in card 1 at maximum”

Is there a way to record more than 999 videos, other than buying a new CF card?

This limitation is ridiculous. I create travel videos and I can record 300 clips in a day, so this limitation means that I have to transfer my videos every 3 days and I don’t have the time to do that while busy traveling.

ctitanic, I can record up to 300 clips in a day. So I get maxed out in 4 days. I transfer everything to my laptop when I’m back home, I don’t bring my laptop when traveling. While it is correct that there’s a risk of faulty card wiping out all my clips, I have been doing this since 2017 and never had an issue before.
