Camera worked good for 2 years until I pulled the card and deleted the files to insure I had enough space.Now I get Card Locked. I am still earching but if all else fails I will send it back for service.

We have the same problem. Suddenly showed card locked. I took the camera back to London Drugs and they are sending it in for servicing. They think it may be an internal problem. They said it was for sure not a problem with the card. Will have to wait about 3 weeks to get it back.

I've now bought two SD memory cards for my Canon PowerShot SD630, one 2GB and one 4 GB (different brands) and am getting the "Locked" error on both, although I've toggled the "Lock" switch both ways.  Very frustrating, since the card that shipped with the camera holds 8 photos.  I'm not seeing any solutions here.

put in new batters and new card and get the same thing.
Card locked?

Posted by sportaction2 on Sep 30, 2008

Even if I switch the lock button on the card it does not change. Everytime I want to record something on the card it says card locked. But the card works perfectly in other cameras.

If this is an SD card you may need to take out the card and slide the small switch on the card itself to the "Unlock Position"

Good Luck!

Thanks. Perfect. It doesn't say anything about this problem in the owner's manual. I didn't know you could adjust something on the card itself
