Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s responsibility. Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for the welcome screen (A116). Any pictures registered in Add to list (A48) will be completely removed using Remove from list. Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices. Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
