My camedia c-220 zoom camera says write protection and is locked

Hi.

Check AE lock custom button:



Ensure that the memory card has no protective seal or object in front of the protection area. See here.

Ensure that the files are not individually protected (Key sign in settings)



If that does not fix the problem, then the card may be defective. In that case replace the card.

Here a manual.

The write protect is usually a small micro switch on the memory card. Pull it out and make sure the switch is not locked. It's located on the edge of one side of the card..

SD and SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it. The position nearest the contacts unlocks it. If the switch is already in the proper position, try sliding it fully the other way and then back again.

If that doesn't work, try another card.

Judging by your explanation, the photos are on your sd digital memory card rather than the internal memory.
Since you are unable to delete just those 15, it sounds like you might have accidentally enabled the "protect" function.

Get out your manual (or download a new one) and read about how to protect/unprotect photos, and also read about how to format your card in camera - something you should do on a VERY regular basis for the health of your memory card.

While you have the book out, read ALL of it - twice! You'll be amazed how much you'll learn.

Take your memory card out and move the tiny plastic switch on it to "unlock" or whatever it says. If that doesn't help, try another card. If that still doesn't help, come back and we'll try something else!

On the side of your SD card there's a switch.

Shutter flex bad/worked itself out.
Available as a whole Lens Block only.

i checked your model and it uses a smartmedia memory card-hard to find nowadays-max size is 128mb's-you can find them still on internet-maybe time to upgrade camera before you spend too much on obsolete card-won't work in new camera-good luck!

I have Olympus Camedia c-700 ultra zoom camera. somebody changed its language setting accidently and now i could not figure out hou to change back to english.

just open the card cover and press quick view and ok at the same time, and reset the camera. if that don´t solve it may need to replace the mainboard
