Once an image is protected, it cannot be removed by the camera’s Erase function.
To erase a protected image, you must first remove the protection.
If you protect the images you need and erase all the images at once (→108), all
non-protected images will be erased. This is handy when you want to erase all the
images you do not need at once.
Formatting a CF card will erase all information on the card, including protected
images. Be sure to carefully review the contents of a CF card before formatting.
