R6 Mark II, Downloading Images From Camera Or Card Reader To A Mac

[Cantrell]

All,

I have a Mac Mini M1 chip 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. My camera is a EOS R6M2. My previous camera was a EOS R10. With my R10 I downloaded directly from my camera to my Mac except for the last download and I used a card reader.

After buying R6M2 I have been downloading from the card reader. I have recently started shooting RAW on card 1 and JPEG on card 2. I have been only downloading images from card 1 with the card reader. If I download from R6M2 to the Mac does images from both cards get downloaded? 

Thanks in advance.

Greetings Cantrell,

When downloading images from the EOS R6 Mark II to your Apple computer with a USB cable, we would suggest on using our EOS Utility 3 software application since the software will allow for you to choose which memory card you would like to download from. In the import window where you can view the thumbnails of the images on the card, the top portion of the left-hand side column where it shows the file directory of the memory card will have Card 1 and Card 2 labeled that allows you to choose which card to download form. The software can be downloaded by visiting the product support page for the camera.
