Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory
cards does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can
sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially
available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal image data.
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, set
Record
location data to Off in Location data options (
E
93), and then completely refill
it with images containing no private information (for example, images of empty sky).
Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically
destroying data storage devices.
For the COOLPIX P610, the log data saved on the memory card is handled in the
same way as other data. To erase the log data that is obtained but not stored on the
memory card, select
Create log
➝
End log
➝
Erase log .
To delete the Wi-Fi settings, select Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options
menu (
E
91).
