Have you ever received the error message "card's write protect switch is set to lock" and are unable to access your SD card anymore? Take it easy. I will introduce two efficient ways to help you remove the write protection on your SD card.

Way 1. Turn Off the Write Protection Switch Manually

According to the solution provided by Canon Support, you can take out your memory card and slide its write protection switch upward to unlock it. If this doesn't work, you can turn to the second fix.
