You seem to be confusing CRAW with cropping.

Indeed I was. I conflated the 1.6X Cropping/Aspect Ration option available in R6 and required for EF-S lenses with the reduced size sRAW format I briefly used on my 40D. I don't think I ever used it on 6D if it is even available.

I have to re-read about cRAW and then read some more. Sounds like a good option for sports.

I tend to milk the JPEG option (with the picture profile adjusted to the subject, high-ISO NR, lighting optimizer, etc.) under favorable lighting conditions and not just for space, but for the look of the photos coming out of the camera. However, when switching to RAW in bad light (such as being forced to the wrong side of the pool and shooting into the sun), it sounds like I might want to give cRAW preference over both JPEG and RAW.

Thanks for the clue!
