Deleting Files; Locking Files; Changing The Index Playback Format - Minolta DiMAGE S414 Instruction Manual

DELETING FILES

Deleting permanently erases the file. Once deleted, a file cannot be
recovered. Care should be taken when deleting images.
Single, multiple, or all files in a folder can be deleted with the playback-mode menu.
Before an image file is deleted, a confirmation screen will appear; choosing "Yes" will
execute the operation, "No" will cancel it. To delete files in other folders, the folder must
first be selected in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 84). The delete option has
three settings:
This frame - The file displayed or highlighted in playback mode will be deleted.
All frames - All unlocked files in the selected folder will be deleted.
Marked frames - To delete multiple files. When this setting is chosen, the frame-selection
screen will be displayed. Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight the first file
to be deleted. Pressing the up key will mark the thumbnail with the garbage-can icon. To
deselect a file for deletion, highlight it with the yellow border and press the down key; the
garbage-can icon will disappear. Continue until all the files to be deleted are marked.
Press the controller to continue (the confirmation screen will appear), or press the menu
button to cancel the operation and return to the playback menu. On the confirmation
screen, highlighting and entering "Yes" will delete the marked files.
The delete function will only erase unlocked files. If a file is locked, it must be unlocked
before it can be deleted.

LOCKING FILES

Single, multiple, or all files in a folder can be locked. A locked file cannot be deleted by
either the playback-mode menu functions or the QV/delete button. Important image files
should be locked. To lock files in other folders, the folder must first be selected in the
custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 84). The lock option has four settings:
This frame - The file displayed or highlighted in playback mode will be locked.
All frames - All files in the folder will be locked.
Marked frames - To lock or unlock multiple files. When this setting is chosen, the frame-
selection screen will be displayed. Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight the
file to be locked. Pressing the up key will mark the thumbnail with the key icon. To unlock
a file, highlight it with the yellow border and press the down key; the key icon will
disappear. Continue until all the files to be locked are marked. Press the controller to lock
the marked frames, or press the menu button to cancel the operation and return to the
playback menu.
Unlock frames - All files in the folder will be unlocked.
Locking a file will protect it from a delete function. However, the formatting function (p.
86) will erase all files on a CompactFlash card whether locked or not.

CHANGING THE INDEX PLAYBACK FORMAT

The index format option
allows the index playback to
be displayed with four or nine
images. This affects all index
displays.
