Title: Formatting cards
Post by: trifilmer on April 30, 2013, 10:13:36 PM

Can I just format a card after filming with a ML card? Or it is better to remove the video files when the card is connected to a computer. If I format will I have to reinstall ML onto the card?

Thanks

You can format the card in-camera. ML adds a "Keep ML" option to the format dialog

And if you format card in PC you have to run EOScard to make the card boot able again copy and paste the original files. Or do exactly the same as you did the first time. but Nanomad's post is by far the simplest.

I'm sorry to bother you guys but what if I don't have the "Keep ML [q]" words on the screen? - it's just usual 5d3 formatting :-\ [yes I have ml installed]

Same here- 5DM3, there is no "keep ml" option in the format menu.

You could delete all photos option?

It seems that the "Keep ML" option in format on the 5DM3 is missing.

Can others confirm?

I don't even own a 5D3 and I found it:
