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.
