  • Canon 5D Mark 3 Question

    Posted by Ralph Hajik on August 11, 2017 at 2:13 am

    Hello Professional Canon Users

    I recently had the strangest thing happen to me while on vacation in France and London using my Canon 5D Mark 3.
    While taking pictures and occasionally take movies. I had one card set up up to take Jpeg and the other card to take Raw images. During my trip I would review some video from my Canon and everything worked out ok. After my 3 week vacation I got home to download my pictures and video onto a hard drive. All my pictures are there but my video footage was gone except for some video I have taken the last
    few days and I found the video on my Raw card. Does anyone have any ideas or has had a situation like this.
    I’m stumped.

    Thanks for your answers in advance.

    Happy Travels

    Did the SD card fill up so it forced the rest of the video to only be recored to the CF card?

    Hi Warren

    Good question and I have no idea. I have another trip coming up and I made sure the card is properly named and shooting only in Jpeg, not Raw even though I don’t think that was the problem. I shot some pictures and shot some video, both now show up on the #1 card as it suppose to. The million dollar question is what happen to the video footage from my last trip? I’ll have to put it to rest and move on.
    Only the Shadow knows.
    Thanks for respondingto my questions.
