Protected feature

There are 2 probable solutions.

1. The images are "protected" by the camera & will show "locked" when you try to erase them.

2. The SD card in the camera is locked.

The solution to 1 is to unlock the images in the playback menu. See page 46 of the manual.
Note that you need to select "unlock" you can't select protect as they are already protected!

Solution 2 is to remove the card from the camera & check the "lock" slider that you can see on the side (although no all cards have this). Set the lock off.
