Once an image is protected, it cannot be erased by the camera’s Erase
function. To erase a protected image, you must first cancel the
protection.
If you erase all the images (p.119), only the protected images will remain.
This is convenient when you want to erase unnecessary images all at
once.
You can protect the image even after you change the display format to
shooting info display, magnified view, or index display after step 1.
