How to activate the photo protection feature on the OLYMPUS TG-610 camera?

Question

Accepted Answer

To protect your photos from accidental deletion on your OLYMPUS TG-610, you need to access the protection feature through the playback menu. This feature prevents the deletion of selected images during manual deletion.

Accessing the protection feature:

Switch to playback mode by pressing the navigation button © (at the top of the camera)
Press the MENU button located at the back of the camera
Select the Playback menu
Navigate to the Protect option (option 6 in the menu)

Image protection procedure:

Use the directional arrows to select the image you want to protect
If you want to protect other images, repeat the previous two steps for each photo
Press MENU to exit the protection mode

Important: Once protected, an image cannot be deleted by standard erasure functions ([Erase], [Image Selection] or [Erase IA]). However, protection does not safeguard images from a complete formatting of the memory card. To remove protection from an image, repeat the same procedure and press the © button again to deactivate protection.

This feature is particularly useful for preserving your important photos during accidental deletions or quick handling of the camera in challenging conditions (water activities, travel, sports). You can protect as many images as you wish on your SD/SDHC memory card.
