Deleting all images

Deleting permanently erases the file. Once deleted, a file cannotbe recovered. Care should be taken when deleting images.

All the images in either the internal memory or a memory card can be deleted at once. The internal memory or the memory card must be selected with the setup menu first. See navigating the setup menu section on page 38.

When the delete-all option is selected, choosing “Yes” and pressing the display/enter button immediately deletes all the images.

Format

When a memory card or internal memory is formatted,all data is erased.

The formatting function is used to erase all data in either a memory card or the internal memory. Before formatting, copy the data to a computer or storage device. Always format the memory card using the camera; never use a computer to format the camera or card.

The internal memory or the memory card must be selected with the setup menu first. See navigating the setup menu section on page 38. When the format option is selected, choosing “Yes” and pressing the display/enter button immediately formats the card or internal memory and erases all images.

If the memory-card-error message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need to be format- ted. A memory card used in another camera may also have to be formatted before being used.
