Hi due to so many questions asked about this here it is. How to deal with memory card locked/write protected error.
SOLUTION 1 - Unlock the memory card.
There is a Lock switch on the left side of the SD card. Make sure the Lock switch is slid up (unlock position). You will not be able to modify or delete the contents on the memory card if it is locked.
SOLUTION 2 - Toggle the lock switch.
If the lock switch is not on lock: 1. Slide the switch up and down. Repeat this 3 times. 2. Let it stay on the Lock position for 30 seconds. 3. Slide the switch up to unlock the card. 4. Try to transfer files into the device.
For non-SD cards: Format the card
The data on the memory card may be corrupted.
WARNING: Formatting will delete all the files in the device. Backup all your data before formatting. Memory card write protected, memory card locked, memory card will not read, can't use memory card.
Look at your memory card. SD 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.
SD and micro SD cards have a small slide switch on the edge of the card to protect the data stored on the card. To unlock the write protection move the slide switch to the write position.
There should be a metal tab on the memory card.Pull out the card.The tab slides back and forth.One way is locked,the other is unlocked.Slide the tab to the other position than it is in now.You should be all set.Good luck,Greg
When this problem occur you need to set the memory card unlock or not

Remove the memory card from camera and you can see a small button in
the memory card, so you need to slide that to set the memory card unlock
or not
protected.
Remove the memory card from the camera. Look at the memory card very well, you will see a slide switch on the side edge of the memory.
Move the switch to the unlock position. Put the memory card back to the camera. You can then start using it.
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.
