Konica Minolta 5D Instruction Manual

Only the images in the folders specified with the view-folder option
in section 1 of the playback menu (p. 82) can be viewed or edited
in playback. Two options are available:

All folders - to view and edit all images on the memory card.

Single folder - to view and edit images in a specific folder. The
folder is selected in the folder-name option below the view-folder
option.

For more on memory card organization, see page 120. Folders can
be created and selected in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 104, 105).

Deleting permanently erases the image. Once deleted, an image cannot be recovered. Care
should be taken when using the delete function.

Marked frames - to delete multiple images. When this setting is chosen, the frame-selection screen
(p. 83) is displayed. Use the left/right keys of the controller to highlight the first image to be deleted.
Pressing the up key marks the thumbnail with the delete indicator. To deselect an image for
deletion, highlight it with the yellow border and press the down key; the delete indicator disappears.
Continue until all the images to be deleted are marked. Press the controller to continue (the
confirmation screen appears), or press the menu button to cancel the operation and return to the
playback menu. On the confirmation screen, highlighting and entering “Yes” deletes the marked
images.

All in folder - to delete unlocked images in a single folder specified by the view-folder option. 

All on card - all unlocked images on the card are deleted. 

The delete function can only erase unlocked images. If an image is locked, it must be unlocked
before it can be deleted.

Deleting a large amount of data from a large capacity memory card may take several minutes. In
this case, use the camera’s format function or delete the data using a computer. Do not format the
card with the computer.

Single, multiple, or all images in a folder can be deleted with the
playback menu. Before an image is deleted, a confirmation screen
appears; choosing “Yes” executes the operation, “No” cancels it.
Only the images in the view-folder option in section 1 of the
playback menu (p. 85) can be viewed and deleted with the marked
frames and all-in-folder options. Delete has three options:

The formatting function in section 1 of the playback menu is used to erase all data on a memory
card. Before formatting a card, copy the data to a computer or storage device. Locking files will not
protect them from being deleted when the card is formatted. Always format the memory card using
the camera; never use a computer to format a card.

When the format option is selected and entered, a confirmation screen appears. Choosing “Yes”
formats the card, choosing “No” cancels the operation. Never remove the card while it is being
formatted. A screen appears to indicate the card has been formatted.

When a memory card is formatted, all data on the card is erased.
