Picture playback on 5D3

[87vr6]

So, I've read the manual, done some internet searching, and apparently I'm missing something.

I have my 5D3 setup to put RAW on the CF card and JPEG on the SD. I understand that if I take out the CF card, and reinsert it, playback automatically switches to card 2 (SD card). I know that it's a nuisance problem and understand how to defeat that...

Problem I have is according to the manual supplied with the camera, (in bold, on page 277) "Erasing a RAW+JPEG image will erase both the RAW and JPEG images."

My camera is not doing this. Help me figure this out please.

It won't with your setup. That statement assumes the camera is writing both RAW and JPG images to the same card. Note that when recording separately or recording to multiple, you have to select a card for playback (p.118). The erase function applies only to the card from which images are being played back.

Touche sir. I suspected that, but there is nothing in writing in the manual to make actually think or believe that.

Good answer. Guess I will have to find an editing work around on this now. Hmmm. Thanks for the quick answer.

Agreed - it should state that, but it doesn't.
