Ha! I did too, and then I fixed it :) The card has a little thingie on the side that is slid too one side to "protect" the pictures. Slide it the opposite way, and you're good to go!

If your camera uses a SD memory card then the write protect switch maybe on.
SD and Micro SD memory cards has a smallslide switch on the edge of the card, which write protects data on the memorycard. Slide the switch from the READ position tothe WRITE position, which is furthest away from the contacts.

Camera shows error message saying "Memory card is protected (reset switch on memory card). This message does not clear when I reset the switch. Any suggestions?

The switch internal to the camera may be gummed up. But it can be easily "jogged" back open without opening the camera. You might try the toothpick or the tape fix listed in the troubleshooting steps of this blog article.

The message is memory is write protected please help me. thankyou

Hi,

This usually means that the switch for write protection has been flipped on the memory card itself. To resolve this, open the memory door and remove the memory card. There will be a small switch on the card, flip it to the off position (opposite of its current state) and reinsert the card into the camera.

Message on camera says "memory card locked" What

Take the memory card out of the camera and look at it. SD and SDHC 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.

Usually Lumix says "This memory card is protected" when it means that the card has been locked with the little switch on the card (SD card). The message you report may mean something else.

Formatting memory card

Normally that means your card is locked.
Look at the side of the card, there is a tiny switch - this is the write protection switch.
You may be catching it accidently with a finger nail.
