| 634932 | 2008-01-29 00:25:00 | There's an article in the Sydney Herald about a couple who went to enormous lengths to track the owner of a camera that was left in the New York cab they had just hired. Maybe this tip has been published somewhere before but I always start the memory card with a shot of a card with all my relevant details on. |

Some cameras allow you to "lock" photos which would be handy in this instance if it prevents locked pics being deleted. I'll have to check my camera's settings. |

Even if you can't lock the image it's no big deal to to wipe all the images except the first one |

Formatting the memory card deletes them however, so that is to be avoided if wishing to keep protected ones . |

Formatting the memory card deletes them however, so that is to be avoided if wishing to keep protected ones . At the risk of being a little pedantic it's still not that big a deal compared with increasing your chances of getting your camera back . 200pics can be individually scrubbed in 15 to 20 minutes at the outside and some cameras let you delete nine at a time |

| 634938 | 2008-01-30 00:44:00 | I think you are missing the point. I said the idea of taking a pic with personal details on it is a good one but if I wasn't able to lock a pic with my details on it then I would just take a new pic everytime I wiped the memory card. There's no way I'm ever going to sit there for 15 to 20 minutes deleting pics individually if I can help it. :rolleyes: | FoxyMX (5) | ||
