Everytime i try and take a picture it says card locked

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

If that doesn't work, try another card.

Hi, try to format your SD Card on your camera (backup pictures first).
If you can't then try to format on your PC. To format on your pC do the following steps:
1) insert your SD card
2) right click the SD Card Drive (make sure you select the correct one) choosing the wrong
drive would cause BIG problems for you. If you don't know which drive it is Do Not Continue
3) Select Format.

If you PC doesn't format properly or has a problem with the card then you know the problem
is the card and not your camera. Make sure also that the SD Card is not Locked.

Take the memory card out of the camera. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

I JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CARD SAYING ITS LOCKED.....TAKE YOUR CARD OUT OF YOUR CAMERA AND TURN IT WHERE THE LABEL IS FACING YOU AND ON THE LEFT SIDE IS A SMALL TAB THAT IS COLORED DIFFERENTLY THEN YOUR CARD....SLIDE IT UP TO WHERE ITS NOT ON THE LOCKED SIDE....

slide switch on the side of card

If the card is locked, you could the steps below:

- Turn off camera
- Remove memory card
- Take a look on the switch of the memory card itself
* If it's at the TOP = card is UNLOCKED
* If it's at the BOTTOM = card is LOCKED

- So, you just have to make sure that the switch is at the top
for the memory card to be UNLOCKED

After doing that, you just have to put back the memory card to your camera and turn on the camera. Try to check if this works.

hi, if that would have happend to me the first thing i would try is to clean the SD card socket with alcohol.
open the camera and gie it a try.
