Writeprotected Camera Memory Cards

Consumer memory cards have around 8 gigabytes of memory.


Memory cards have a "write-protected" feature that allows users to create a safe guard against losing their data. When this feature is enabled, files cannot be edited or deleted from the memory card.


Function


Memory cards are used to store data. Cameras and cellular phones are some of the devices that use a memory card. New laptop computers typically come with a built-in memory card reader that is located on the side of the device. The reader allows users to directly import and export files from the memory card to the laptop.


Benefits


Files can easily be accidentally deleted. When you enable the write-protected feature of your memory card, you are preventing data from being altered. Manufacturers such as SanDisk, Fujifilm, and Sony all make memory cards that have this feature.


Lock and Unlock a Memory Card


The write-protected feature of a memory card can easily be enabled or disabled in a matter of seconds. The "lock" trigger is located on the side of the memory card. To enable the feature, push the trigger to the lock position. To disable it, slide the trigger away from the lock position. When disabled, documents on the memory card can be edited.
