The screen displays the shots left on your active card. To see how many are left on the other card -- switch cards.

I tried this as well and the number is the same. But either I'm not communicating right what I'm looking for or there is no way to see the info I need unfortunately. I've seen it done in other manufacturer's bodies so I had assumed it would be this way with Canon

The info shown is correct, if you take a picture and have it saved to both cards in different formats, when the larger format card is filled...the other card even if storage left over is considered filled too. You'd need to change quality of the image captured, and maybe which card is used to take more shots at which time it would show how many shots are available.

The display us nit a representation of free space on the card.
