As long as you don't put in any memory card, where the camera can put its pictures, it will say write protected.
If you did put in a memory card the wrong way around you also can have damaged the little switch in the memory card holder, so it always thinks the switch is engaged. Please put in a correct card, with the lock switch up. Not pointing to the lock position and check if that will work.

in this case Im sorry to inform you that will not be any data available on that card cause it should have been formatted before use...or ..it is damaged thats why it is not reads on it ...but a thing to try is to see if it is not locked on the side button ..for securing data ..at least after unlocking you can format it ..and use it ...
also see that it needs to be formated in FAT32 ..for to be usable in the camera

How to delete pics off sd card via my vivicamx040

Format the memory card. This clears all data from the card and prepares it for further use.

Make sure the card isn't protected. 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.

I cant take pictures or videos since it says write protect on the screen. How do i fix this?

Take a look athe SD card in the camera to see if the little slide switch on the left side is down. That is the write protect switch of the SD card to prevent you from over writing data/pictures or formatting the memory device accidently. push the switch up and try again.

Why my camara reads card protected.,,,i pearches a memory card and the camara doent work

Take a look at the 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.

If that doesn't work, try another card.

I cant get my pictures off the camara.

I would take the memory card out of the camera and plug it into your computer and see if you can download them to your pc without using the camera at all... If the pix are really important take the sd card to a photo shop and have them burn the photos to a cd... hope this helps

Will not recognise sd card

Is the SD slide protection switch unlocked? You will also need to format the memory card before it will work in your digital camara. Make sure the memory is compatible with your camara (too much memory and it won't work)

My digital camara will not save pictures. Messages appear.

If you are using SD memory card, it can be locked. Take out your memory card, on the left side there's a switch. Turn switch up and try again. Hope this will work.
