dritz Posted January 22, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) A problem. I have a CF card and an SD card which work by themselves. But when the setting is to write to them in parallel the camera writes only to the CF card. They are of equal capacity, and are formatted together in the camera. One is a Sandisk Extreme III of 32GB capacity. The other is a Lexar Professional 400x 32GB SDHC UHS-I card. Any clues? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erlingmm Posted January 22, 2013 Share #2 Posted January 22, 2013 My impression is that this only works if you store RAW + JPEG. RAW will be written to the CF card, JPEG to the SD card. I have not found a way to duplicate RAW to 2 cards. But it is useful if you want to have JPEGs for immediate use, without going through LR processing.

dritz Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted January 22, 2013 The RAW on 2 cards is what I want. Your answer triggers something in my memory that says "correct!" I will try this when I get back from my travel this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constable Posted January 23, 2013 Share #4 Posted January 23, 2013 The raw + jpg fits with my experience ... And also with what Leica say "The workflow also becomes easier, as DNG files for processing and JPEGs for immediate image review can be saved separately on different cards" LEICA S2 / System / Home Page - LEICA Camera AG I would still like to control what is written to which card or at least write raw to both cards as the OP is trying. I still find it a pain that I have to remove the CF card from the camera to write raw to SD. Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlehrer Posted January 24, 2013 Share #5 Posted January 24, 2013 On the S2 or the S, you cannot write a RAW file to both the CF and SD card, you must choose one. You can only write a RAW to one card and a JPEG to another. This is a concern that I have brought to the attention of Leica, however I don't think it is a feature we will ever see implemented, as they are limited by the camera's RAW processing pipeline. As CF is considerably faster than SD in the S2, I would recommend shooting RAW files to a CF card whenever possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoons Posted March 8, 2013 Share #6 Posted March 8, 2013 I have had this issue too and it must be possible as the EOS 1DS 3 can do it without any problem. I prefer the twin recording thing myself as once and only once admittedly had a card fail on me. I was saved by having a duplicate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
