R3: RAW J/H function (save as JPEG in-camera) disabled. Why?

Hi everyone. Since I started shooting the R3 and R5, I have been selecting certain RAW images from a day’s shoot and saving them in-camera as a separate JPEG file. I do this in order to download smaller files and process the JPEGs quickly on iPad.

This was done by reviewing an image in the camera, hitting the Q button, and then selecting the RAW J/H option (has a down arrow next to it) from the left side menu that appears. This is the menu that also features Lock and other options. Once I selected RAW J/H, I’d select JPEG specifically in the next step, and then in the third step, select “Save” to create the new image.

Suddenly today, I can no longer perform this function on the #R3. The RAW J/H menu item is grayed out. I am not having this issue on the R5

When I called CPS, they informed me the R3 cannot save RAW to Jpeg in camera. Which is bogus, because I’ve been doing it for years… and why would the option even appear in the menu in that case?

I have tried shooting with different cards, to no avail. The same issue occurs with both CFExpress and SD. I can only think there’s some other setting that needs to be changed in order to access this function again, but I can’t think of what it is. Any ideas??

Are you in green square mode? try a creative zone mode.

It’s been in Aperture all day. I only ever us Aperture, Shutter, or Manual.
