Deleting Multiple Photographs from Memory
While single photographs can be deleted in playback mode as
described at the beginning of this chapter, it is also possible to
select multiple images for simultaneous deletion or to delete all
unprotected photographs currently selected for display. Note
that once deleted, photographs cannot be recovered; remem-
ber to copy to a computer any images you would like to keep
before using the options described below (see “Connections” for
information on backing up the contents of the camera’s memory
to a computer).
To delete multiple images, highlight DELETE in the playback
menu and press the shutter button. The following menu will be
displayed.

Using the zoom switch, highlight a photograph that you would
like to delete. Images not currently visible in the window will
appear when the zoom switch is used to scroll past the first or
last item in the window. Note however that photographs that
have been hidden with HIDE IMAGE will not be displayed
and hence are not available for deletion. Similarly, images marked
with a key icon (
) are protected and cannot be selected for
deletion. Having highlighted a photograph you would like to
delete, press the delete button ( ) or the multiple selection
button (
). A garbage-can icon ( ) will appear on the
selected image, indicating that it has been selected for deletion.
Other images can then be selected in the same way. Images
marked with the icon can be deselected by highlighting the
image and pressing the or
button again.
