I don't own this camera but My guess is your memory card is in a LOCK SETTING you need to move the memory card to unlocked " wrirte " so you memory card isn't locked.....
Step 1 remove the card from you're camera
Step 2 there is a small little side on the side of the memory chip move that to the unlock position.
step 3 insert the card and start shooting!

What do it mean when it says card is locked

SD and Mini SD memory cards has a small slide switch on the edge of the card, which write protects photos on the memory card and prevents photos from being deleted or added to the SD card. Slide the switch from the LOCK position to the UNLOCK position, which is furthest away from the contacts and you can save photos on the memory card.

Cyber shot camera dscw350 cannot take pics read only memory card

Look at your memory card or stick.

SD and 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. Memory sticks have a slide switch just below the contacts. Slide the switch away from the "LOCK" position to unlock the memory stick.

Screen displays "card locked" and

Look at your memory card. 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.

Card locked

Greetings Burtie,

There should be a small slide tab on your memory card which locks it. Please slide that tab to the unlocked position and this should fix your issue with a locked memory card.

Sincerely,
Agent Dort
