LOCKING FILES

Single, multiple, or all files in a folder can be locked. A locked file cannot be deleted by either the playback-mode menu functions or the QV/delete button. Important image files should be locked. To lock files in other folders, the folder must first be selected in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 84). The lock option has four settings:

This frame - The file displayed or highlighted in playback mode will be locked.

All frames - All files in the folder will be locked.

Marked frames - To lock or unlock multiple files. When this setting is chosen, the frame-selection screen will be displayed. Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight the file to be locked. Pressing the up key will mark the thumbnail with the key icon. To unlock a file, highlight it with the yellow border and press the down key; the key icon will disappear. Continue until all the files to be locked are marked. Press the controller to lock the marked frames, or press the menu button to cancel the operation and return to the playback menu.

Unlock frames - All files in the folder will be unlocked.

Locking a file will protect it from a delete function. However, the formatting function (p. 86) will erase all files on a CompactFlash card whether locked or not.

CHANGING THE INDEX PLAYBACK FORMAT

The index format option allows the index playback to be displayed with four or nine images. This affects all index displays.
