JProtecting Images
If you format the card (p.50), the protected images will also be erased. To protect an image, press and quickly let go of the <H> button. If you hold down the button for approx. 2 sec., a voice memo will be recorded.
Images can also be protected individually when the [3Protect images] menu option is set to [Select images]. Press <0> to protect or unprotect the image.
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.179), only the protected images will remain. This is convenient when you want to erase unnecessary images all at once.
If [8C.Fn IV
(Protect: Disabled)] or [2: Play memo (hold: Record memo)], images cannot be protected with the <H> button. Use the [3Protect images] menu option’s [Select images] to protect images.
