Konica Minolta dimage z5 User Manual

The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory
card. Before formatting a memory card, copy the data to a com-
puter or storage device. Locking images will not protect them from
being deleted when the card is formatted. Always format the mem-
ory card using the camera; never use a computer to format a card.

When the format option is selected and entered in section 1 of the
playback menu (p. 74), a confirmation screen appears. Choosing
“Yes” formats the card, choosing “No” cancels the formatting
operation. A screen appears to indicate the card has been format-
ted.

Single, multiple, or all files can be locked. A locked file cannot be deleted by either the playback
menu functions or the QV/delete button. However, the formatting function (p. 78) will erase all files
on a memory card whether locked or not. Important images should be locked. The lock function is
in section 1 of the playback menu (p. 74). The lock option has four settings:

locked. Pressing the up key marks the file with the lock indicator. To unlock a file,
highlight it with the yellow border and press the down key; the lock indicator disap-
pears. Continue until all the files to be locked are marked. Press the central button of
the controller to lock the marked thumbnails, or press the menu button to cancel the
operation and return to the playback menu.

All files on the memory card are locked.

When a memory card is formatted, all data

on the card is erased. 

A memory card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. If the unable-
to-use-card message appears, the card should be formatted with the camera. If the card-error mes-
sage appears, press the central button of the controller to close the window; check the Konica
