Answer
If you are using an SD card, there is a little side piece that moves ever so slightly up and down. If you move it one way you lock the card so nothing can be removed or added to the card. Just take the card out and see if this is true on yours. If you cannot find it someone at a photoshop can help you. This happened to me and I was really perplexed. Then I found out and no big deal now.

How can I unlock my SD card on my canon digital camera?

I downloaded pictures to my laptop last night, and when I went to take a picture today, the screen said "card locked". I can't figure out how to unlock it! Help please:)

Answer
look for a switch on the card, if its pointing to lock then well move the switch

otherwise try to format the card in the camera
