the side of the card. Just move the switch to the unlocked position (you probably moved it by accident). Aug 1, 2006, 2:43 AM #3 Stanka Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 6 Thank you, but I don't find any switch button on the card. It is just plastic and no buttons on it.

If you have it write protected, you can't write to it in any way. If yours does not have one, try formatting it from the camera's playback menus. You can write protect individual files from the Playback menu, and you'll also see a menu choice under Card Setup that allows you to format a card (which should overwrite all files, even you have them write protected. See the menus on this page for more details. http://www.steves-digicams.com/2003_...us400_pg4.html Aug 1, 2006, 9:24 AM #5 Stanka Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 6 Realy, thereis not a slide switch.

prevent the memory card from being erased or wiped. Not all types of memory cards will feature these; SD and Memory Sticks often include the write protect switch. Step 1: Check the Switch SD Cards have a physical switch on the side of them which sets the write protection of the card. If the write protect switch is in the locked position, then it will not be possible to write to the card. It will, however, be possible to read the photographs from the card if they are already there. Mini http://forums.steves-digicams.com/olympus/96691-remove-write-protection-xd-memory-card.html and Micro SD cards do not feature a switch, however, when they are placed in the SD card adaptor to fit into your computer, there is a lock switch. Some people mistakenly believe that this is to lock the card in position, however, this is actually a write protect switch. When using the adapter, you shouldn't touch the switch. Step 2: Repair http://www.steves-digicams.com/knowledge-center/how-tos/photo-accessories/fixing-the-memory-card-write-protected-error.html the Switch Sometimes the switch can break off the memory card, which will leave the card in a locked position. This will mean that you won't be able to unlock the card because there's no switch. If this is the case, then it's fairly easy torepair the switch. The switch itself does not do anything inside the card; it is simply a piece of plastic which hits a switch inside the camera or reader. This means that it works in exactly the same way as the switch on an old 3.5" floppy disk, or the tabs on a VHS tape. Repair the switch by simply sticking a piece of tape over the correct section of the switch. Once this is fixed in place, the switch will be depressed correctly. This will mean that the switch is no longer write protected and it will be possible to write photos to it once again. Step 3: Remove Protection It's also possible to protect individual files on your camera's memory card by selecting an option in your camera's menus. This protection will need to be

Is it possible that this feature was somehow enabled? Also if you're using a card reader to transfer/view the files on the computer it is possible that perhaps while viewing the card as a "mass storage device" that somehow the properties were set to write protected. Okay I just checked the manual and it says for possible cause " Writing to the card is prohibited" and the corrective action " The recorded image hast been protected (read only) on a computer Download the image to a computer and
