So. My $1000 Dollar camera (Canon PowerShot S3 IS) Is saying that the memory card is locked when it isn't Have any tips or anything that doesn't cost money? Or money. Idc. thanks!! posted August 27th, 2012 Shades of Grey There is a little switch on the side of the card that locks and unlocks it...have you checked that? https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/19655006 posted August 27th, 2012 Sheila Yes sometimes you can get an error even if the little switch is just a tiny bit out of place. posted August 27th, 2012 Brian It's probably the switch. On one of mine I got the same error. I finally had to use a little super glue. Also try it in another camera or computer and see if you can http://365project.org/discuss/tips-n-tricks/14079/memory-card-error-card-locked access and/or write to it. posted August 27th, 2012 Carol Estes I put a small piece of tape over the switch so it didn't move... posted August 28th, 2012 Wide Awake Photography @shadesofgrey LOL. Obviously I would have checked. posted August 29th, 2012 Shades of Grey @itaevy You never know! posted August 29th, 2012 Wide Awake Photography @swguevin its not that. XD Its something inside the camera posted August 29th, 2012 Sheila @itaevy I know this is a silly question, but did you test it with a second SD card to be sure it really is the camera and not the card. I have a card which gives me grief in the computer and error messages and others that work fine. Not trying to be a pain here, just asking. If the read problem is inside the camera, then I would check on-line for a software update or camera software reboot in hopes that it is an internal software problem. If it is actually the hardware in the camera, then you will need to take it is for repairs. So sorry you are having this issue. posted November 27th, 2012 qweasd123 you can get som

It looks like a little tab sticking out. This battery stores the date and time. Test that battery or replace it. It may solve the problem. Just my 2 cents and good luck... Was this answer helpful?

I've searched around and have seens this problem alot. Is there a known fix, or firmware update to solve it? I have a 2 GB Patriot High Speed SD card. Better yet, is there a way that I can reformat it from within the S2? No options seem are available form the menus, record or playback. I don't currently have a card reader to try the reformat. I tried searching Canon's site, but to no avail. Thats pretty low.
