K Protecting Images

Protecting the image prevents it from being erased accidentally.

If you format the card (p.43), the protected images will also be erased.
Once an image is protected, it cannot be erased by the camera's erase
function. To erase a protected image, you must first cancel the
protection.
If you erase all the images (p.143), only the protected images will
remain. This is convenient when you want to erase unnecessary images
all at once.
