Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting memory cards or other data storage
devices 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 and
then completely refill it with images containing no private information (for
example, pictures of empty sky).
Care should be taken to avoid injury when
physically destroying data storage devices.
Before discarding the camera or transferring ownership to another person, you
should also use the Reset all settings option in the camera setup menu to delete
any personal network information.
