Card locked and mean the card protection device has been activated. Have you indadvertantly activaded the device? This is usually a button with the 'Key' symbol or can be through the menu on screen. Check your manual If this does not resolve it put you problem to the Tech Support Team at Canon

My camera says the my memory card is locked.?? i dont no how to unlock it My Ixus 70 says my card is locked, but the card is NOT locked (button on the side of the card is in unlock position). The came
Oops. The little latch on the side in the unlock position, should engage a switch in the camera, indicating the memory card is not writ protected. It is not an electrical switch doing something in the memory card. But is the switch in the camera is defect, you get the same result. If someone once tried to press in a memory card, the wrong way around, this could have been the cause of a damaged switch. Just check the memory card slot, of nothing is in the cardholder, blocking the little switch from working correct. Sure the switch is in the up position, like in the picture? 25288825-qj532vtjsqner5bmetfl14fj-5-0.png

Hi! When I put the camera on it says in the display: "locked card". I can print the pictures out but I cant take a new picture or delete the old ones. Whats happened?? C. Its a CANON, digital...
Hi,

Remove the memory card and you will find a switch on the left side of the card. It must be locked, so slide or push the lock on other side to open it and then insert the card back to the Camera.

Cannon IXUS 40.Saying, Card Locked.How do you unlock it?
In case it uses the SD card, then there is a lock feature in the card. You will need to unlock the card so that it becomes read/write enabled. In lock position, it is read only, so you can read the files from it but cannot create any more files.

Most SD cards have a switch on the edge of one side of the card. Sliding it up or down will unlock or lock the card. When the card is locked, you will not be able to transfer any audio tracks. Nor will you be able to play any copy protected files. We recommend you always keep the card unlocked.

Take the card out. On the left side of the card is a tiny white switch. Reverse the position.

Card locked
Dear codger19:

If your camera gives you "card locked" error messages with several cards and you KNOW that the cards are indeed not locked via the sliding lock mechanism, then your camera needs to be sent in for service as it has developed and electrical communications problem within the memory card control function.

I would first however try a hard reset by resetting your camera to the default settings, removing the battery and memory card for two minutes, and then replacing them. Retest the cards for the error message. If it still occurs then call 1-800-828-8080 for your options.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
HeavyDLB

MEMORY CARD LOCKED
Unlock it. SD cards have a little slider on the left side (face up) that locks and unlocks it.

I noticed that this camera does not work well with cheaper memory cards. The only brand that works without fail is the SanDisk brand.
