Introduction Disposing of Data Storage Devices Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built-in camera memory 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 set Record location data of Location data options (A87) to Off after formatting 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 the Select an image option in the Welcome screen setting (A76). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices. For the COOLPIX AW120, the log data saved on the memory card is handled in the same way as other data. To erase the log data that is obtained but not stored on the memory card, select Create log ➝ End all logs ➝ Erase logs. You can clear the Wi-Fi setting using Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options (E92) menu. vi
