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. 211).
• 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 Leica M.
• Even protected pictures are deleted if the memory card is
reformatted (see next section for details).
• On SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, you can prevent accidental
deletion by sliding the protection switch on the card (see p. 145)
to the position marked LOCK.
