Camera has 'Memory Card Locked' on screen.

My camera suddenly came up with 'Memory Card Locked' on the screen. It is NOT the switch on the card itself, and I can't make the Menu select the Card Lock symbol that shows a key. My camera will not take pictures while it is locked! Please help. Thanks.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Try the memory card on another camera,

  • if it works (or you use another known to work card and confirm the problem stays the same) the problem is with your card reader:
  • ensure the camera's switch is not stuck and the inside of the slot is clean, you can follow Flying Dutchman's tips from this post (if it helped you solve your problem, please feel free to leave a feedback to the author)
  • If it doesn't, it could be it's corrupted or the filesystem may be incompatible, backing up everything on it and formatting it with your camera should solve the problem

Hopefully you found this useful,

cheers
