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 (
A91) 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 (
A83). Care should be taken to
avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.
For the COOLPIX S9700, 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 log ➝ Erase log.
You can clear the Wi-Fi settings using Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options
menu (
E89).
