EOS R6 Mark ll Can I set up one SD card for RAW and the other for JPG?

I'm a longtime Canon DSLR & Mirrorless user.  I just upgraded to the R6 Mark ll this week.  This is the first camera I have owned with two SD slots.  Is it possible to set up one card to receive RAW files (always my preferred file type), and set the second slot for JPEGs so I can use some of the custom profiles?
Thanks!

Yes you can set one card for RAW and one for JPEG. I would also recommend setting the camera up to record to BOTH card slots. R6 Mark II Manual Check page 166 for more info.

Thank you!  The manual I downloaded from Canon's web site was smaller... only 610 pages, compared to over 1,000 on the link you provided.  No wonder I couldn't find it before.

Thank you!  I do have it set already to record both slots as RAW, I was just hoping to be able to change one... so this is great!
