    Solution

    You can either select and erase unnecessary images one by one or erase them in one batch. Protected images will not be erased.
    IMPORTANT
    Once an image is erased, it cannot be recovered. Make sure you no longer need the image before erasing it. To prevent important images from being erased accidentally, protect them. Erasing a RAW+JPEG image will erase both the RAW and JPEG images.

    Erasing a Single Image
    1. Set the camera's power switch to <ON>.



    2. Press <>, then turn the <> dial to play back the image to be erased.





    3. Press the <> button.
    The Erase menu will appear.



    4. Turn the <> dial to select [Erase], then press <>.
    The image displayed will be erased.

    NOTE
    Setting [ : Default Erase option] to [[Erase] selected] makes it faster to erase images.

    Checkmarking Images to Be Erased in a Batch
    By appending checkmarks [ ] to the images to be erased, you can erase multiple images at once.

    1. Press the <MENU> button to display the menu screen.



    2. Press the <> button and select the [ ] tab.

    3. Turn the <> dial to select the [ ] tab.

    4. Turn the <> dial to select [Erase images], then press <>.

    5. Turn the <> dial to select [Select and erase images], then press <>.
    An image will be displayed.
    • If you press the <> button and turn the <> dial counterclockwise, you can select an image from a three image display.
    • To return to the single image display, turn the <> dial clockwise.

    6. Turn the <> dial to select the image to be erased, then press <>.
    A checkmark [ ] will be displayed on the upper left of the screen.
    To select other images to be erased, repeat step 6.

    7. Erase the image.
    • Press the <> button.
    • Turn the <> dial to select [OK], then press <>.
    The selected images will be erased in one batch

    Erasing All Images in a Folder or on a Card
    You can erase all the images in a folder or on a card at once. When [ : Erase images] is set to [All images in folder] or [All images on card], all the images in the folder or on the card will be erased.

    REFERENCE
    • To erase all images, including protected images, format the card.
    • When [All images on card] is selected, the images on the card selected for [Record/play] or [Playback] under [ : Record func+card/folder sel.] will be erased.
