My camera indicates the card is locked, so I was unable to take pictures. How do I unlock the card?

If you are getting the 'Card Locked' error on your Canon SD20, then your SD card is most likely set in the write protected mode. If you take it of your camera and look at its label, there should be a toggle switch along the side. Slide it to the opposite position and re-insert it into your camera. This should fix the issue. If not, I reccomend returning the SD card to the manufacturer.

Be sure you are strying to slide the toggle switch on the card and not the little button next to the card on the camera.
