EOS R6 Mark II Shooting Raw And Battery Longevity

Cantrell
Rising Star

All,

Currently shoot JPEG with the R6M2. Does shooting raw with a R6M2 deplete the battery quicker? Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

Increased battery depletion?  The difference is marginal (negligible).  You won't notice.  Set your camera to RAW or RAW + JPEG and start shooting.  I always shoot in RAW + JPEG unless I'm doing high frame rates.  Shooting in jpeg only when you could have shot in RAW (what happens).  In most cases you will be doing yourself a serious injustice shooting in jpeg only.  You lose about 85% of post-processing editing capability shooting jpeg only.  RAW files can be edited with a much higher degree of creative control and you can convert and save them as jpegs after you've edited them to your liking.  I suggest you download Canon's DPP if you don't already have it installed.
