Question :
What does the computer screen look like when a camera with two inserted SD cards is connected to the computer?

Answer:
The following describes what the computer screen looks like when a camera with two inserted SD cards is connected to the computer.

When connecting the camera to a computer using the USB cable, with SD cards inserted in both of the camera's card slot 1 and 2

When the E-M1 Mark II is connected to the computer, the camera will be recognized as the external drive (removable disk). Two separate drives are displayed on the computer, each one for the camera's card slot 1 and slot 2.
