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.

I have looked everywhere on how I can create a new folder for videos without formatting the memory card or using a new memory card.

I tried changing the camera index from A to B, changing the Reel number from 2 to 3, changing the clip number, and also the user defined

but it all seems to just shoot video in the same folder which is Reel_0002

I too just discovered this problem with not being able to record more than 999 Clips. For those wondering why I'm trying to record more than 999 clips, is because I keep a larger CFexpress card in my first cards slot and dual record the SDs, and swap them out after each shoot. Although I don't record more than 999 clips in a day, I would like to keep the backup of the clips on one card if I'm filming back to back over 2-3 days. So I think this limitation is still quite annoying. I know 999 clips seems like a lot, but not in the scheme of things. I would still like to address this to Canon because surely they can have a fix to this, especially if there is plenty of storage.
