When you turn camera on or try to take picture it says card locked

Hi Tony,
Turn the camera off and remove the SD card.Some of the SD cards do have a small slide lock on the side.Slide it to open and then re-insert into the camera.Turn the camera on and try to take a picture now.

Hope this helps.Thanks!

back up your data first,thenyou reformat the memory card in the camera.i guess you have formatted the memory card in another device.canon cameras generally do not accept cards that have been formatted in another device.then sitch off the camera and reinsert the memory card.

It's the memory card or SD card you have in the camera. (it sounds like)
Try taking the SD card out and if you look at it closely there is a little switch/ thing you can slide. Slide it to the other side, put it back in your camera and try again. Hope that helps

Try pulling the memory card out of camera too see if you can take a picture with out the memory card in place.

If you can do this the memory card is locked. Look at the memory card and find small swith on the side. Look for the lock symbol and be sure the switch is not in the locked position. Move the switch as needed.

Put the card back in and try it. This should solve your problem

Little sliding switch on the side of the SD memory card. Remove from camera, slide switch away from lock position, re-install and you should be good to go.

:'( i'm in the same situation right now! :(((( I want my pictires back! i don't know what to do!

If the card is locked, you could the steps below:

- Turn off camera
- Remove memory card
- Take a look on the switch of the memory card itself
* If it's at the TOP = card is UNLOCKED
* If it's at the BOTTOM = card is LOCKED

- So, you just have to make sure that the switch is at the top
for the memory card to be UNLOCKED

After doing that, you just have to put back the memory card to your camera and turn on the camera. Try to check if this works.

remove the memory card out of your camera and look to the side of it.. there is a little switch on the memory card that locks the card... try that first it might not be your camera... :) good luck :)

Look on the memory card itself. Many times there is a little "window" where there is a slide switch (the same as the old floppy disks were). Try moving the switch.

hi, if that would have happend to me the first thing i would try is to clean the SD card socket with alcohol.
open the camera and gie it a try.
