Erasing and Protecting Images
For those who keep multiple images on media cards for prolonged periods of time, it's
important to use options on the T2i/550D that enable you to delete images you don't
want, and to protect images you do want from accidental deletion. The following sec-
tions detail how to erase one or multiple images and how to protect images.

Erasing images

Erasing images is useful provided that you are certain that you don't want the image.
From experience, I know that some images that appear to be mediocre on the LCD
can very often be salvaged with judicious image editing on the computer. For that
reason, I recommend erasing images with caution.
With the Rebel T2i/550D, you can choose to erase images one at a time or you can
select individual images to erase, or you can erase all images on the media card. If you
want to delete one image at a time, follow these steps:
1. Press the Playback button on the back of the camera, and then press the
left and right cross keys to select the picture that you want to delete.
2. Press the Erase button, and then press the right cross key to select Erase.
3. Press the Set button to erase the image. When the access lamp stops blink-
ing, lightly press the Shutter button to continue shooting.
