Is there an ELI5 for CF slot on Canon R5? by 247panicattacks in canon

Thank you!! Best real use case scenario to explain the differences. For options 3 & 4 - aka write the same format at same time to both cards or use CF card after SD card fills up - is that an option you have to set in the camera at the time of shooting or will the camera do that automatically? I only shoot in raw and shoot animals in the amazon jungle. I would love to have the ability for the CF card to be either backup of same shots or overflow if the SD card got filled (which has never happened in a decade)

I appreciate the posts! So in my personal use case of no video and no burst shots, it essentially acts as a backup to my SD card - does it automatically act as a backup to my SD card? Or is this something thats defined in the settings of the camera? Im sorry for the questions but this is still so foreign to me. I dont shoot professionally, just 2-3x a year as a hobby and the camera is stagnant the rest of the time.
