Took about 50 pics and tried to see them on computer. Got the message "card locked." Now what?

I don't have your camera, and don't know what kind of memory card you have, but many memory cards have a "lock" switch right on the card, easy to flick by accident.

How are you connecting the camera? Is it a cable that came with the camera? Can you put the media card in a multi-reader and DL the pics?

Because the same message appears when you insert the card into other cameras the most likely problems are that the card is full or defective.
Have you tried another card in your camera? If not then you should do so. If it works then it confirms your other card is full or defective.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about SDCards and how to unlock and lock SDCards. If youare getting a memory card locked message then check this out.

How to UnlockSD Card heatman101

Your integrated memory is only 5mb.
You ned a Flash Memory card SD or SDHC.

Sounds like you forgot to use the "safely remove hardware" when you removed the card from the computer. Also, never format a card in a computer and then expect it to work in a camera. You can try to format it a few more times in the camera but if not successful, then you should think about getting an new card.

You can move the pics to your computer first, as for some camera, if you insert a SD card, you won't find the pics on the camera hard memory.

do not format -- you will lose the pictures

instead go to another computer that supports SD memory and CDRW. insert into that computer and then take all the PICS, save into that computer. now take a blank CD and take the saved PICs and burn into CD.
Also, to ensure you dont lose these pictures (PICs) you may want to buy a 4G or 8G USB thumb drive (about $10-$15 or less) -- drag and drop all the PICs (saved on that computer) into the USB thumb drive. Now you have on CD and USB drive.

hope this helps

if your cam is using a sd card, the card could be locked, theres a little switch on the side of the card try using that and see wat happens. its tiny on one of the sides.

you are most probably looking at the pictures from the camera screen.... if you use a CF card reader and view them on the PC through internet explorer or any other software they will be fine..

You get this error when the files have been changed on the CF card by anything aside from the camera
