Erasing a File (Image)

This section explains how to erase recorded files. There are three ways to erase files:

(1) erase, one selected file is erased at a time

(2) erase all, all files are erased at once, and

(3) format, files on a SmartMedia memory card that have been used on another device

are erased and the card is formatted for use with this camera.

Note

• Files on a write-protected SmartMedia memory card cannot be erased

unless the write protect pad is removed from the card. See “Protecting

Against Accidental Writing” (p.31).

Only the pictures that have been taken with this camera can be erased.

a file after turning on the power or changing the mode dial.
