R3 and selection of card for playback

[johanbja]

Hi there,

I store raw-files on card 1 and jpegs on card 2 when working with my R3. The jpgs are for ftp-transferring on the run, and raw for later use back in the office. I prefer this workflow, fast when needed and with possibility of editing raw when time.. only bug/unwanted feature is when removing card 1, the setting for "Playback card" is forgotten by the camera - a reset is done in the menu, and playback is set back to card 1. I often forget this reset when removing my card, and with the result that one or two raw-files are transferred when I remember.

On my 5d mark IV the camera remembers the menu-setting related to playback even if the card is removed and inserted again. Would prefer this option on the R3 as well... Any thoughts?

Regards,

Bmj

Card settings can change when you remove a card and close the door while the card is removed.  All cameras with dual card slots exhibit this behavior.  It might be inconvenient, but it is not probably not going to change.

Either leave the door open while the card is removed, or remove the battery before removing the card and closing the door.

Seems like the setting is forgotten even if I leave the door open when removing... It's not like this on the 5D mk4, so I guess it could be done? Would love to hav a setting like "remember palyback-settings when removing cards" 🙂

Greetings ,

My colleague is correct.

I use a similar workflow, except I save video to my CFB and images RAW+JPG to my SD.  All mirrorless bodys with 2 slots work the same.  I do this fairly frequently.  If you don't close the door with a card removed, the storage settings do not change.  The key being don't close the door or power on the camera.  

While this is not called out specifically in the manual, all mirrorless bodys (with 2 slots) work this way.

I have tried different things here… but the playback-setting seems to reset even if I leave the door open when removing and inserting the card again. The same when both powering camera off and leavinig door open. I have not tried removing the battery when removing/inserting. Seems like a bot to much. Please notice that it’s the playback setting linked to card two for playback that I want to keep. The setting realted to writing files are kept and ok.

Yes, could you please capture smartphone shots of these menus in the R3.

 

 

I posted a link the Canon USA’a comprehensive instructions on setting up cameras with dual card slots.  Let’s make certain that your setup is completely configured both recording photos and playing back photos.

Bill,

Good of you to cover this.  After re-reading the thread I realized he is referring to play back specifically.

This covers the Record/Playback settings as well for the R3.

Looks like it might be related to "Standard" vs. "Auto switch card".

This is a screenshot of my menu on R3. I’ll check out the scrrenshots you sent and see if there is a wrong setting in another menu.

The same setting is used for both record and play.  This screenshot is from the link that I provided above.

 

If you continue to experience the issue, then I suggest that you contact Canon Support.
