Hi,

I am a new user of a EOS R6 MKii and wondered if anyone has some advice of how to switch and view still photos between the 1st and 2nd SD cards (both installed) during playback without having to access the detailed menus?

Scenario: I have still photo images being stored on both cards (not duplicates) with the 2nd being primarily used as an overflow card.
Is there a programmable shortcut available that can be used when reviewing images on the screen in playback mode via a button for example to then switch easily between the first and second SD card??

I would appreciate any thoughts or hints as to how to best accomplish this.

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
I own R6 MKi, no MKii. In this case I think, that the procedure is the same in both models.
Just press button Q and look at the screen. Then activate card symbol on the left side by touching or scrolling.
Little arrow by the card (1 or 2) shows, which card is possible to look at.
Pressing Info-button changes the arrow between cards and this way you can take a look at both cards.

Hi Heikki

This is exactly what I wanted to know. Tried it out this evening and worked perfectly on my R6 Mk II.

Thank you for the tip. (y)
