A57: No way to select multiple images for deletion?
Seems odd to have a new camera in this day and age that doesn't allow multiple image flagging for deleting from the grid view playback mode.

A good idea would be to buy Gary Friedman's book on the A57.. its 23 dollars and the best money you could everspend on that camera

I don't have the A57 for testing, but seeing as the button and menu layout is similar to my A500, try this:
Go into playback mode, hit the menu button (top left), select "marked images". Now mark/flag your images with the center (AF) button. When done, hit the menu button again and confirm.
Not the most streamlined thing but it works and it's hard to accidentally flag and delete images I guess....
-edit-
Just noticed Bill beat me to it.

And yes, you can do this from grid view too. Just select the grid view, then go to menu, delete, marked images, and then you'll see the grid view with 9 photos at a time and checkboxes in the corners...just scroll through with the arrow keys and hit the center button for all the ones you want to delete. When done, hit OK, and it will ask you to confirm if you want to delete the marked images.
You may have a limit of 100 to 150 at a time - the camera will let you know. If so, you just mark until you hit the limit, delete those, then start marking again to delete more.

I know what the OP is getting at and it has nothing to do with not reading the manual. With the A57 you have to individually click photos you want to delete one by one. With other camera systems you can easily select a range and delete them all with a few clicks. So, if I want to delete 50 photos from the A57 I have to click, move, click, move 50 times, on other cameras you select the first photo in the range and the last photo in the range and you're done.
Of course, workaround is to use your computer to delete photos instead of the camera or delete the whole folder with the camera after downloading them, but if your stuck in the field with one memory card and you need to delete some photos on the fly it's a pain in the rear.
Re: A57: No way to select multiple images for deletion?
There is a good reason why it is not easy to delete multiple images. If it was easy you would have too many instances of people who don't read the manual deleting everything on their card and then blaming Sony for a lousy design. Or worse yet they would be screaming for a firmware update to fix the problem. Personally I never delete images in the camera. I always do my deleting in the camera for safety purposes. It keeps me from accidentally deleting an image I should have kept.

Formatting the card from the camera menu is the simplest way to delete everything if that's what I want to do it.

Really? That would be like blaming Smith Wesson because a bullet came out of the gun when you pulled the trigger.

Re: A57: No way to select multiple images for deletion?
A similar annoyance is not having the capability to scroll the playback of images by more than a row at a time (unless I have also missed that instruction). With a 16 GB card you could have around 2250 images, and at 9 images per grid page that's 250 pages. On a relatively full card you would have to move 125 pages to the "middle" of the deck, and that takes 375 clicks of the up/down buttons.
How about a firmware upgrade component that lets another button move the screen by pages, where in the menu you can decide how many pages per button press? Better yet, make that orange bar on the left of the playback display more useful by having 1page, 5 page, and 10 page moves both up and down.

Re: A57: No way to select multiple images for deletion?
Thanks, this is (along with troj) the answer I was seeking. I was hung up on p.50, which details the non-multiple delete function in playback mode. Why they don't mention or at least cross reference to that other page is beyond me, but I did look.
