5D4, erasing images from the cards

I have RAW going to the CF card and JPG going to the SD card. Erase seems to apply to only the chosen playback card. On my wife's Canon M50 single card camera the erase function gives you 4 choices, one of which is to erase RAW+JPG. If I put in just one card in my 5d4 and record both file types to it then the erase function gets both images.

Can the 5D4 be configured like the M50 is, to erase the same file name from both cards, for when I have both card types in?

No.

As Anders states, no. Canon DSLRs with dual card slots have always been this way. I wish the M50 didn't ask me. If I am deleting an image from a single card, I would want both to go away, like every other Canon camera, at least DSLR, has worked in the past.

I wish it would let me choose the default of the four, I'd choose RAW+JPG.

Can save you from erasing everything, when you are stupid. As it's now, at least you have either the RAW or the jpeg still available, when you erase what you shouldn't have.

Personally I have never wished that I could record both formats onto a single card, hit erase, and then wish I had one of the formats still available, neither the other case where I wish I could keep one and delete the other.

I would either always hit the erase both button anyways now, or I would record just one format out of the gate. Now there are four buttons on the M series that you have to navigate through, instead of two.

It doesn't prevent any mistake at all if that was the intent, you would have just developed the habit of hitting the one button anyways.
