Ive been shooting recently with two cameras and I wonder how can I change folder name on 6D so I can have both cameras files on separate folders in the same card. Or is this even possible in-camera? I cant find it anywhere on the menu.

My intention was to copy files from camera to my laptop for storage until I come back from my trip (I go photograph brown bears soon for a 4 day trip) if camera could rename folder it would be easier for me to keep things organised until I can place them to my hard drive.

Why not use the EOS Utility to accomplish the transfer? The software sets up a folder structure based on date using a format of yyyy-mm-dd.

apersson850 Cream of the Crop ![]() More info | With EOS Utility you can set it up to rename the files in just about any way you like, when doing the transfer. Easy to program different handling for files from different cameras, or moving the files to different folders on the laptop. That would accomplish the same thing. Anders

rrblint Listen! .... do you smell something? ![]() More info | You can create names for folders(according to the prescribed theme: ###ABC_D), but only using a computer to do so. However the card can then be placed in and used in the camera afterward. According to the manual: Mark

It really makes no sense to move cards between cameras and in fact, Canon recommends formatting a card that has been used in a difference camera (although I know you can do it)

RayinAlaska Senior Member More info | May 23, 2014 20:24 | #9 The OP can change any of the folders to dates or names using the EOS software used to download the photos to the computer, or with any of the Adobe photo downloaders. The name (or date) can be changed just before downloading the photos.

tonylong ...winded ![]() More info | May 23, 2014 20:46 | #10 My 5DC body has a "Select folder" menu choice if you scroll down (you can also use it to create a new folder), it's below the "File numbering" menu item. But, my 30D doesn't have this function. I don't know what newer cameras have it! The problem with creating a folder in the computer is that if the camera does not have a "select folder" function then, well, you can't do it! Tony

Preeb Goldmember ![]() More info | Maybe I'm confused, but are you using one card for both cameras? If so, why? Why not have a card for each, then you can download each to a different folder on the computer. Rick

May 24, 2014 11:36 | #12 I do use individual cards for each camera. I have 7 cards now and last time they were full in 2 days. Triedto create folders in my laptop to the card, didnt work. 6D still makes folder called 100CANON and places images there. You are what you eat - I dont remember eating a photographer.

I have several bodies and dozens of cards. It would never occur to me to try and keep them segregated to specific bodies. I wasn't meaning that you never use a card for a different camera body, only that you remove the images and reformat before doing so. The way the OP was stated, it really sounded like he was thinking of using one card between two bodies during a single shoot without downloading the photos. That was the only reason I could think of for his needing to change the folder name in camera. Otherwise you just download the images to a folder you create and name on your computer, so why does the folder have to be named anything in particular on the camera. I don't download the folder from the camera, only the photos. I still don't know what the OP is getting at. Rick
