My device says: "card protected"!

By reading the photos on your device, you may have also protected your photos to avoid accidentally deleting them.

Unlock the small button on the side of your card, where it says 'lock'.

Hello! You have a memory card in your camera. It's this card that you insert into the computer to retrieve and view your photos on the computer. On your card, you have notches, and it's one of these notches that moved when you put your card back in your camera! It's not a big deal but kind of scary!!! I know!.. On my camera, the memory card is blue with a yellow notch. You'll see it goes up or down. Happy Shooting & Enjoy Your Vacation! Martine.

Hello, if it's an SD card, just position the small lock on the upper left side in the unlocked position. Best regards, Nicolas.

Hello, first check if the card is not locked; there is a small yellow or red tab on the side of the cards that needs to be moved to lock or unlock the card. Happy searching!

Logically, it's Jean-Marc who has the most likely answer. Indeed, it often happens (3 times my friends in 2 months) to move this little button on the side of the card. Maria said she can't "take" photos, meaning she can't "write" them, so "save" them on the card... but reading them, probably yes...

On certain cards (SD among others), there is a "switch," which means a slider to move ON / OFF: of course, this slider must be set to "ON" for the card to function.

Thank you JEAN-Marc for your help, I have solved my problem. Best regards, MARIE.

UN grand merci à tous ceux qui ont répondu à mon appel. Cordialement. MARIE
