Erase All button is grayed out on my Canon Powershot SD550

Easiest way to erase all images...go into the menu and scroll to "format"...follow the on-screen instructions.

You need to format the card in the camera. This will erase it so download any pictures first. Then, go into the menu and scroll to "format" and follow the on-screen instructions.

Hello,

Just click on the Menu icon and then look for the Erase All function.

It will ask you for a confirmation and you just have to hit yes or continue.

Please rate if it helps.

There is a switch on the side of the SD card, slide to unlock position then go to the SETUP menu, format the card (before doing that, make sure you have saved all pictures from the SD card to your computer)

Hi,
in play mode, press menu then goto erase and select erase all...
I hope this helps...

Do the following:

Play button >> Menu >> scroll down to Erase >> scroll down to All images .

Here is also the user guide: Camera User Guide

Careful, the way you're doing it would actually erase everything. Use that way only after you've downloaded all your pictures and videos to your computer.

The way to erase a single image or video is to go into picture/video review mode. Advance so that you can see the video you want to delete on your LCD screen. Then press the "trashcan" button on the back of your camera once. It may ask you "delete this video?". Select "yes".

You can download a manual (Camera User Guide) here.

1. To erase an image from the memory card, in Replay mode scroll until you see the image you want to erase on the LCD.
2. Press the Func button (this is also the erase button).
3. You will see two options, "Cancel" or "Erase"
4. Use the right arrow key to highlight "Erase"
5. Press the Set button (first button below the LCD)

Play back the images, go to the one you want, and press the down button. It should ask you if you want to erase that one image.
