X-T2 using two cards

[verysame]

Hi there,

 

Quick question: when using two cards, after the first is full, is it needed to switch off the camera or does it automatically start saving on the card #2?

I'm asking this because on my wife's X-T2 at some point today she's got a warning on the screen saying to turn off the camera and then turn it on again.

Will just switch over automatically, no need to turn off and on.

Then that message was something strange.

I hope there's nothing wrong with the camera, I got her the X-T2 only two months ago.

The only thing I did before that happened, was updating the firmware.

I find myself wondering why you have set up the camera in this way, to write to one card first then to write to the other one.

 

What if one of the cards proves defective? There's more than one thread in this forum that relates to this being a potential problem.

 

Personal preference is to let the camera write jpgs on the one card, RAW on the other. Then I know I've got a backup against a defect occurring on a card, and with relatively frequent downloading to my PC, I'm covered against losing an image.
