EOS R5 Mark II, using video settings from card

[peterduran]

Hi, I hope someone can help, the only time I have used video settings saved to card, it seems to replace all three settings c1 c2 c3, so I have only the card option.

How do I flip back and forth, please?

Greetings,

Flip back and forth between what exactly?

If you save the camera's settings to the card it saves all settings including the settings for C1, C2 and C3. If you load settings from the card, all settings, including C1, C2 and C3, are restored to what they were at the time you saved the settings.

how is it supposed to know which one(s) to load?

Do you change C2 and C3 often? I think the point of  having C1 C2 and C3 is that you *don't* often change them

When you save the camera configuration to a card, the saved file includes the three custom modes C1/C2/C3 for stills and the three custom modes C1/C2/C3 for movies in the single file. 

So what you need to do is setup the camera as you want, then save the configuration to a file. Use a name that makes sense so that it's something like CONFIG_1. Then change the configuration of the Custom modes to your second set of settings. You may need to enable Auto update of the stored settings to do this, but make sure you disable it afterwards. Once complete save the camera configuration again to another file eg CONFIG_2. Now you can switch between the two settings by loading either of the two camera settings files on the card. You can have up to 10 different configuration files on a card.
