Hiding Photographs
When creating a slideshow or playing back photographs for an
audience, you may wish to hide some of the photographs in
memory. This can be accomplished by highlighting HIDE
IMAGE in the playback menu and pressing the shutter button.
The following window will be displayed.

Using the zoom switch, highlight a photograph that you would
like to hide. Images not currently visible will appear when the
zoom switch is used to scroll past the first or last item in the
window. Having highlighted a photograph you would like to
hide, press the multiple-selection button (
). A icon will
appear superimposed on the selected image, indicating that it
will be excluded from delete and protection dialogs and will not
appear in playback or slideshows. Other images can then be
selected in the same way. Images already marked with the
icon can be deselected by highlighting the image and pressing
the
button again.
After highlighting the last of the images you would like to hide,
press the shutter button to hide the currently selected image
and all images marked with the
icon. The following message
will be displayed and then the camera will return to the play-
back menu.

To return to the playback menu without hiding or revealing any
photographs, highlight BK and press the shutter button (note
that the BK option is only available in the protect window
when the first page of thumbnails is displayed). Press the MENU
button to return to playback mode while leaving all photo-
graphs unchanged.
Hidden photographs are not displayed in slideshows or when
photographs are played back. Except in the hide image win-
dow, hidden items are not assigned an item number indicating
their position in memory. Hidden photographs cannot be
deleted using the DELETE—SELECTED or DELETE—
ALL options, nor can they be erased from memory by pressing
the button while in playback mode. Formatting the memory
card will however permanently erase all hidden photographs.
Hidden items will also not be displayed in the protection win-
dow. These images will also be hidden when the card is read
by a computer equipped with a PC card drive (see “Connec-
tions,” below). On computers running Windows or DOS, such
files will only be visible if the user chooses to display hidden
files.
