Sun 28-Feb-21 04:13 PMI don't have a Z5, so I can't test it, but could you set up to shoot JPG only (say a user defined button) and then temporarily remove card 1? It may default to slot 2 since slot 1 is empty.
I think the only defined roles available for slot 2 are: Overflow, Backup and Raw + JPG.Larry

Looking at the Z5 online reference manual it appears to work as my other DSLR's.
It's a two step process. You have to define the slot assignments to RAW slot 1-JPEG Slot 2 then with the quality setting set it to RAW+JPEG. That should place the NEF's on the card in slot 1 and the JPEG's on the card in slot 2.
Then again if you are trying to shoot only JPEG and have it go to slot 2 and not slot 1, then I don't believe that can be done unless you do what Larry suggested.Pete

Another work around would be to shoot RAW+jpg if you have to, then instead of having to remove the slot 1 card and delete the RAW files, just go into the menu and format the slot 1 card. Quick, easy, and it could be done in the field with no additional equipment necessary. Just a thought!

I was thinking of saving jpeg save to slot 2 as a User setting (U1). I'm using a Z5.
