SD and SDHC memory cards have a write-protect tab.

If the [Write Protect Tab] is in the locked position, the following screen appears.

During shooting :

If [Card locked!] appears in the upper portion of the screen, and

[Recordable shots] or [Elapsed Time] shows [0]*, shooting is not possible.

* The above indications

may not appear depending on the model of your camera.

During playback :

If you press the [Single Image Erase] button (

) to try to delete an image and [Card locked!] appears in the lower portion of the screen, the image cannot be deleted.

If [Card locked!] appears on the [LCD Monitor] of the camera,

the [Write Protect Tab] of the memory card being used is in the

locked (downside) position, so you cannot capture or delete images.

To unlock the tab,

slide the [Write Protect Tab] of the memory card upward.
