With this feature, you can protect any image from normal erasure. This
would be useful should you fi nd yourself running out of card space in
the middle of a shoot. All photographers tend to go overboard when
shooting digital because there are no processing costs associated with each image, and usually erase images during the post-shoot edit. When
you use the Protect feature you can edit in the fi eld, save your best
images, and gain important memory space.
On the Rebel and the prosumer cameras, fi nd Protect in the Playback
portion of the Menu, then use the Set button to select it. Images stored
on the memory card will appear on the LCD screen, beginning with the
last image made. As you scroll through the images, push the Set button
for each image you wish to protect. You’ll see a small icon, a skeleton key,
appear on the image, indicating that the image is locked (push the Set
button a second time to unlock the image and void the protection).
Protecting an image is faster with the EOS-1 cameras. On the back of the
camera, at the top of the row of buttons on the left side (bottom center
on the 1D Mark III), is the Protect/Sound Recording button. As you scroll
through the images simply push this button when you see an image
you wish to protect. It won’t matter if you scroll through the images
individually or in groups of four or nine, the skeleton key icon will appear
on each image you select.
Erasing Images
On the bottom of “Button Row,” found on the left side of any Rebel or
prosumer camera’s back, the noble trashcan patiently waits for you to use it. Scroll through the images on the memory card. When you see one you
don’t want, just push the button. The rear LCD will display three boxes:
Cancel, Erase, and All. Use the Quick Control Dial to erase just the selected
image (Erase), or to erase every non-protected image on the card (All).
You can change your mind by selecting Cancel, or just by pushing the
shutter button halfway down
