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. 213).
• 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. 145) to
the position marked LOCK.
Procedure
1. Press the SET button (21).
