Disposing of Data Storage Devices

Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory
cards or built-in camera memory 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). Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for the Select an
image
option in the Welcome screen setting (

A95). Care should be taken to

avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.

You can clear the Wi-Fi settings using Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options
menu (

E58).
