Notes:
• If a memory card is inserted (see p. 86), only the pictures on the card

tect/unprotect a picture saved to the internal memory, the card must
be removed first.

• With the protect/unprotect menu displayed, you can select the other
pictures using the left and right direction buttons (1.25/1.22).
• Even protected pictures are deleted when formatting the memory card
(see p. 113).
• If you attempt to delete (see p. 118) protected pictures, warning mes-
sages appear. To delete them, remove the protection as described
above.
• Protection is only effective on this camera.
• You can also prevent accidental deletion by sliding the memory card's
write protection switch to the position marked LOCK (see p. 86).
