I have a lock on my camera in the review button..it says its in the format how do i take it off

Sounds like a manufacturing defect, you will have to return it. Sorry

You may have to format the card in the camera. Save any existing images first.

If you want to delete all your pictures, format the memory card by using the Format command in the menu.
To delete individual pictures, press the Review button (right-pointing triangle), use cursor-left/right to select the picture to be deleted, and press the trashcan button.

There are basically two ways to delete all the pictures on the card.
If you don't mind erasing all the data on the card, the best way to get rid of it is to format the card. Formatting flash cards (SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC, CF, Memory Stick pro or duo, etc) actually helps the cards last longer. To format the card, enter review mode (usually a button with an arrow pointing to the right) and press menu, navigate to format card and press enter / ok.
To just delete all pictures, enter review mode and press the delete button (usually looks like a trashcan). That should open single delete mode. Press delete again to open multi-delete mode.
Both directions should work on most common camera models (Sony, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, etc).
Please leave feedback if this was helpful. Thanks.

Make sure the picture you can't remove isn't locked. When you're in review press menu and make sure that photo isn't set to locked (if so unlock and you should be able to delete it).
If that doesn't help, make sure you copy off all the images on the card you want, as the following instructions are intended to clear the entire card.
After you transfer all the images you want, you'll want to format the memory card. This can be done one of two ways. If you have the appropriate card reader on your PC, you can insert the card, find it in my computer. Then right click it and select format.
The easier way is to use your camera's format feature. I don't have that specific model, but it can usually either be found in menu, or by pressing the picture review button and then menu. Formatting the card should erase all the data on it and clear off the picture you don't want.

Try formating your memory card. Should be somewhere under your settings menu

My first inclination was that maybe the lock on the side of the SD card was on but after you mentioned that it worked in your mom's camera, I don't think that's the case. You may want to check that though. There's a little switch on the side and just make sure that it's switched to the "unlock" side.

The only other thing would be to format the memory card. When you do that, you will lose all the pictures on it. So, if it happens to work in ***********'s camera, I would transfer the pictures you already have saved on there and copy them to a cd before formatting the memory card.

In order to format your memory card, press the menu button, then go into the setup menu. There should be a list of settings. Scroll down to the format option and choose to format the memory card.

I hope this helps :)
