The SD memory card, SDHC memory card, SDXC memory card or Eye-Fi cards have a write-protect tab.

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

During shooting: [Memory card locked] appears in the upper portion of the screen, and shooting is not possible.

During playback: If you try to delete an image and [Memory card locked] appears in the lower portion of the screen, the image cannot be deleted.

If [Memory 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.
