I bought a new memory card and it keeps telling me cards write protect switch is set to lock. I checked the card and it's not on lock I even switched it back and forth and nothing. I took the card back and bought another one, same thing. Tried a third brand new one, same thing. I have to shoot in 20 minutes. Please please help!!!!

Have you tried it on another device, maybe the camera reports it is locked when it is really not?

Are you sure you push the lock up to the very edge of the slot?

It's definitely the camera not the card. I went to put the old card in that I just used last weekend and it's telling me the same thing
