Disposing of Data Storage Devices

Please note that deleting images or formatting memory cards or other data storage devices does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s responsibility.

Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for preset manual (0 95). Before discarding the camera or transferring ownership to another person, you should also use the Network > Network settings option in the camera setup menu to delete any personal network information. For more information, see the documentation provided with the optional communications unit. Care should be taken to avoid injury when physically destroying data storage devices.
