J Image Protection Protecting a Single Image This prevents the image from being erased accidentally. 1 Display the image to be protected. 2 Protect the image. Press the button. X The icon will then appear to indicate that the image is protected. To cancel the image protection, press the button again. The icon will disappear. You can also protect the image right after capture by pressing the button during the image review. Since the button has dual functions for image protection and sound recording (p.129), if you press the button too long (2 sec.), sound recording will start instead and image protection will not be set. To apply image protection, press the button and let it go immediately. Note that formatting the memory card will also erase any protected images. The image can be protected regardless of the display format. Protected images cannot be erased with the camera's Erase function. To erase protected images, first cancel the image protection. If you use "Erase all" (p.131, 132) when there are protected images, all images except the protected ones will be erased. This is convenient when you want to erase unnecessary images all at once. 127
