By | July 2, 2015

Canon camera is the most widely used single-lens reflex camera all over the world, so questions about this device are frequently asked. Today, we take cloning memory card of Canon for example.

 

As we know, all photos and pictures taken by Canon camera will be saved to its memory card. However, with the increase of photos and photo quality, the previous memory card may be easy to run out of space so that we have to transfer photos to computer frequently to free up space, which may bring harms to memory card. Therefore, many Canon users hope to replace the small memory card with a much larger one, but they do not know how to transfer their photos to new card in a fast way.

 

Indeed, it is time-consuming to copy and past files directly especially when you have dozens of GB files to transfer. At this time, it is highly suggested that users clone small memory card to large memory card, and there is free drive clone software to do this kind of operations, like MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Now we can change partition size of the large memory card.

Next, click “Finish” to go back to the main interface:

At last, click “Apply” button on the top to make all changes performed. Once the application is done, to clone memory card of Canon is completed.
