EN PROTECTING PICTURES /CLEARING DELETE PROTECTION
The pictures stored on the memory card can be protected against
accidental deletion. This protection can then be cleared at any
time.
Notes:
• Pictures can only be protected, or the protection can only be
cleared, in review mode, irrespective of whether a picture is
displayed at normal size or as one of several reduced pictures
(but not when viewing 36 pictures with a red frame round the
entire block, see p. 169).
• For details of the different procedures/responses when you
attempt to delete protected pictures, refer to the previous
section.
• If you decide you want to delete them, clear the protection as
described below.
• Protection is only effective on the camera.
• Even protected pictures are deleted if the memory card is
reformatted (see next section for details).
• On SD memory cards, you can prevent accidental deleting by
sliding the write protection switch on the card (see p. 119) to
the position marked LOCK.
