Get card locked message when I turn camera on. Can't turn the message off,\.

Look at your memory card. 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.

I'm trying to use my camera but the screen message tells me the card is " locked ", and I am unable to un-lock it ,.What do I do ??

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.

There is a switch on your sd card to lock for writing protection. Make sure it is unlock mode, instead of lock mode.

Take the SD card out of the memory slot. On the card there is a tab, move it the opposite direction and its unlock. Then you can stick it in your digicam and go crazy shooting your pictures agian.

When this problem occur you need to set the memory card unlock or not protected. 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.
