C. DeLeTINg PICTUReS
while a picture is displayed in the monitor, you have
an opportunity to delete it if you wish to do so. This
can be useful, for example if the pictures have already
been saved to other media, if you no longer require
them or if you need to free up more space on the
memory card.
The Leica M9 also offers you the option of deleting
single pictures, or all pictures at the same time, as
required.
Notes:
• Deleting is only possible in review mode, albeit
irrespective of whether a picture is shown at normal
size or several reduced pictures are shown (not
however if the 9­block review is shown with a red
frame round the entire block, see p. 151).
• For protected pictures, the protection must first be
cancelled before they can be deleted (see also next
section).
Important:
deletion of a pictures is permanent. Pictures cannot
subsequently be recovered.
Procedure
1. Press the DELETE button (1.24).
• The corresponding sub-menu appears in the
monitor (1.32).
Notes:
• The delete process can be cancelled at any time by
pressing the DELETE button again.
• The following controls and their functions are not
available during the entire delete process: the
INFO ­ (1.22) button and the delete protection
function.
2. The first step is to decide
•
whether you want to delete individual pictures
Delete Single
,
or
• all pictures simultaneously
Delete All
.
3. The subsequent procedure is controlled by the
menu, i.e. essentially as described in the “Menu
control” section (see p. 119). After specifying the
relevant menu display, this is done using the set­
ting dial (1.29), the direction buttons (1.30) and the
SET button (1.21).
Notes:
• If the picture shown is protected (see p. 154),
the Single option cannot be selected in the
sub­menu.
• When deleting all pictures, to prevent accidental
deletion there is an intermediate step in which you
must reconfirm that you definitely want to delete
all pictures on the memory card.
