SD PROTECTED EVERYTIME I TRY TO TAKE A PIC IT SAYS SD PROTECTED HOW DO I TAKE IT OFF

If you did not use the card before in your camera, please try to format the card in the camera. But the SD or SDHC card that goes into your camera, has a little switch, on the left side of the card, that should be set to the top of the card. Top is where the gold con acts are (back side when the switch is on the left)

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

On the side of your SD card there's a switch.

You can try removing your SD Card and changing the lock/unlock switch to off on the left edge of your SD Card.

is your storage card write protected?

Take the SD card out and look for a little switch on it, hit the switch and plug it back in.
That should've worked, if it didn't look on the instructions.

Hope that helped, If it didn't reply with more details.

Well, make sure you have checked the small gray tab on the left side of the sd card. It needs to be in the unlocked position. Too bad for me, because i have the same problem and my sd card isn't locked...
