My camera says card locked its not and its a brand new card is there something on the camera i need to move

Take the card out and check if the lock switch is in the locked position. You need to move it to the unlocked position. That means moving the switch away from the SD card pins and towards the back of the card. If the lock is damaged or loose, you may need to replace the SD card. To see what the lock looks like, see https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1102/~/sd%2Fsdhc%2Fsdxc-memory-card-is-write-protected-or-locked .

Sometimes, you need to use a computer to format the SD card. This can happen when the card was initially formatted to be used with a different device. Then return the card to the camera when the camera is off. Follow the steps to select the Custom setting and format the card again in the trail camera. See page 20 of the manual, https://www.stealthcam.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/STC-G42NG-KPT.pdf . The last thing to try is a firmware update of the camera.

I hope this helps.

Did you format the brand new card in the camera?
Is the card inserted correct?
Is there no debris in the camera, between the contacts of the camera and the memory card"
Is the card Locked? It should not be locked.
Switch up, like on the left (64GB) card.

move the switch on the memory card, then put it back into the camera, if its still locked, take the card out and look did the switch move to the other posititon? if it did, then something is touching the lever as you put it in the camera.
if it did not move but the card is still locked. try formatting the card with the format option in your camera, if that doesn't help then the sensor in the camera that detects if the lever is on the locked position or not is jammed and thinks the card is locked, to fix the problem the sensor needs to be fixed, you need to take the entire camera apart to get to it.

Try formatting the card. Either with the camera or a pc with a flash card reader.

Move the slide switch on the side of the card.

on the SD or memory card there is a part that you can move/click on the side - move the position and see if that helps fix the issue. I had that problem with my SD card and figured it out.

First of all with a Casio camera Casio will only guarantee the camera to work with Panasonic, Toshiba and Sandisc memory cards. If it is not one of those three brands I would go buy one of those brands. Make sure you format your memory card with the camera before using it for the first time. As for the other memory card try using a program like cardrecovery.com and see if you can still pull your pictures off that card. I bet they are still there. :)

The camera is only about 170$ brand new right now. So it is definetly gonna cost more to fix being that your overseas.
Much easier to replace it with a comparable one.
Thanks,

I have the same exact problem with my camera and NOTHING works. Bought a new card, didn't work. Checked and rechecked the card to make sure it isn't locked...didn't work. I have no solution for you but to tell you you are not alone with this problem and it isn't your card or the little slider on your card. It is within the camera.

I had to replace two memory cards. Of course I tried the Lock slider thing on the side with no success. The card is cheaply made. I bought a different brand this time, Lexar. I think my old brand was Dane something. It seemed to happen whenever my battery got low. The card looked like a piece of cardboard and acts like one too!
