Wat is write protect - GE Cameras

It's 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, allowing the camera (or any other device) to write to the card.

Write protection is a physical device that prevents you from writing or changing information on a disc. For digital cameras this is usually a "lock" slider on SD cards.

Try sliding it to the other side if your getting an error that it is write protected when you're trying to use the card. If that doesn't work please post your model number for your camera.

Please leave feedback if this was helpful. Thanks.
