Can memory cards that have been used in other cameras be used with this one? (EOS 5DS / EOS 5DS R)

Content Id: 8202597700


Solution

If you use a memory card that has been used with another camera, the following issues may occur.

1. Images taken with this camera might not be recorded correctly.

2. Because of differences in the file formats, images taken on another camera might not play back on this camera.

3. Images taken might not start with the number 0001.

If the card is new or was previously formatted by another camera or computer, format the card with this camera.

Caution

When the card is formatted, all images and data in the card will be erased. Even protected images will be erased, so make sure there is nothing you need to keep.
