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 (after disconnecting any optional GPS devices) completely refill it
with images containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty
sky).
Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for preset manual white
balance (0 94).
Care should be taken to avoid injury when physically
destroying data storage devices.
