I plug my SD Optima into my trail camera, and the trail camera says the it is locked. I was wondering how I can unlock it?

The LOC message means that the slide switch on the the SD card is LOCked! The camera cannot store pictures on the SD card until the slide switch is in the correct (unlocked) position. I had this problem, as well!

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

It's not the camera, it's the memory card. SD/SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Hello beach.... remove the sd card and check the perimeter of the card to find the locking mechanism. If the card is in the lock position, move it to unlock. Then reinsert the card, turn on the camera and go into the menu. Find format. Format the SD card and then it should be good. Joe

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already there, try sliding it fully in the opposite direction and then back.

Does that help?
