    Selecting card for playback in EOS 5D IV

    I have tried to find a way to select SD or CF for playing back images in EOS 5d MK IV, but the camera seems to make its own decisions, not allowing the user to select one of the two cards. I have not been able to find relative information in the manual. Any ideas?

    5D4 is touch screen, so you could press the 'Q' button, and select which card you want from there?
    I think the playback only operates from whichever card is selected - shown on the back screen.
    I have mine setup to write to CF, then move onto SD if CF fills up, and this works for me.
    Not sure how the above works if you have set it to write to BOTH cards at same time (RAW/JPG)!

    Hope that helps!

      Thanks for your response. I have set the cards to write in series i.e. if one fills up the other takes over. However, the selection you are suggesting did not work for me, I don't know why. I removed one card, so the camera had no choice but to play the other. I re-inserted the one I had removed but the camera continued with its previous selection of cards. Selecting one of the other from the touch screen did not seem to make any difference; although It normally should, as both cards are displayed on the screen and seem to be selectable.
      I will keep trying...

        I think I got somewhere. I was tapping the lines next to the frame of the cards which actually is referring to the Raw and JPG quality. Tapping on the narrow frame of the cards took me to another screen which allows selection.of cards.
        Many thanks for indiating the way...
