Deleting files

Deleting permanently erases the file. Once deleted, a file cannot be recovered.

Care should be taken when deleting images.

Single, multiple, or all files on the memory card can be deleted in the basic section of the playback- mode menu (p. 82). Before a file is deleted, a confirmation screen will appear; choosing “Yes” will execute the operation, “No” will cancel the operation. The delete option has three settings:

This frame – The file displayed or highlighted in playback mode will be deleted.

All frames – All unlocked files will be deleted.

Marked frames – To delete 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 first file to be deleted. Pressing the up key will mark the thumbnail with the garbage-can icon. To deselect a file for deletion, highlight it with the yellow border and press the down key; the garbage-can icon will disappear. Continue until all the files to be deleted are marked. Press the central button of the controller to continue (the confirmation screen will appear), or press the menu button to cancel the operation and return to the playback menu. On the confirmation screen, highlighting and entering “Yes” will delete the marked files.

The delete function will only erase unlocked files. If a file is locked, it must be unlocked before it can be deleted.
