    • Alternatively, you can highlight the picture in the thumbnail list using the multi selector.
    • The i menu will be displayed.
  2. Highlight [Protect] and press the center of the multi selector.
    • Protected pictures are marked with a P icon.
    • To remove protection, display the picture or highlight it in the thumbnail list, and then select [Protect] in the i menu again.

Voice memos
