hi all,

Todays muppet question : - somehow when shooting some lovely peregrine pics I managed to put a ' locked image ' command onto my whole SD card - not the physical slider on the card itself but via the camera - its a K200...

try as I might I cannot unlock it to delete pics etc ...I have no manual to hand - anyone able to help?

cheers in advance

I'm not sure if it will do it, but the official SD Card Format software might help link

Make sure that you copy off all that you wish to keep first.

the camera locked the pics, so select the folder on the camera and unlock it.
