3Protecting All Images in a Folder or Card

You can protect all the images in a folder or on the card at one time. When you select [All images in folder] or [All images on card] under [x1: Protect images], all the images in the folder or on a card will be protected. To cancel the image protection, select [Unprotect all images in folder] or [Unprotect all images on card].

If you format the card (p.55), the protected images will also be erased. To protect an image, press and quickly let go of the <J> button. If you hold down the button for approx. 2 sec., a voice memo will be recorded. If [85: J/Kbutton function] is not set to [Protect (Hold: Record memo)], you cannot use the <J> button to protect images. Use [x1: Protect images] to protect images.

Movies can also be protected.

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.281), only the protected images will remain. This is convenient when you want to erase unnecessary images all at once.
