Sony a7. Deleting images. Warning.
I had about 217 images on my S*ny A7 taken on one day. I have downloaded them and they are safe.
For the first time I decided to keep 10 of the best ones on the card in camera temporarily to show to a friend.
Looked in the (very sparse) instruction book and it says 'protected images cannot be deleted'
Oh yes they can!
Marked them to protect.
Went to the delete menu, deleted all images - and there we have..................no images.
Very clever, S*ny!

Thanks, but I do not use my phone for images.
I could and will put the images back onto a smaller card, but I was trying to warn other S*ny a7 users that they cannot rely on advice in the handbook.................

I have now found out what I should have done. After I marked the images to protect there is another screen which says - OK -
-Complete- This can be bypassed.
I am used to the Panasonic and Nikon way which is much more logical.
I didn't format the card I selected ten images to protect, then tried to delete the 207 on the card. These (217) images are all safe in a Hard drive and the best ten are elsewhere.

Right from the start of our digital photography, we've had an SOP that no image, however bad, may be deleted away from base. Weeding was only ever done in a computer. Cards were the quarantined until the basic weeding was complete.
