One of your menu selections is erase images. Or, another selection is, format which will erase everythign from the card.

I use format before every important shoot.

Hello debrusso,

I would just like to give some quick advice that you all may already know but I was just told this countless of times that I thought you all would like to know. \

I have been told by numerous of photography professors that it is always best to try to format your camera every now and then. Because your memory card is not really deleting the photos but rather hiding it somewhere. This is a problem because it still takes space from your card. The solution to this is to FORMAT because it is one of the safest ways for your camera to erase images. It also sets up properly for your camera like new. But make sure to save your images before doing formatting. I have had many silly accidents this way. Lol.
