Question from Anna-lisa: “I just got done with a great photoshoot.. and my memory card lock came off. Now it says its locked and I can’t get the pictures off. I don’t know how to unlock it.”

Bekkee: There should be a sliding thing on the side of the sd card that moves back and forth – very small about 1/8 of an inch

Amanda: Can you still see the photos when the card is in the camera? If so, I would upload them via USB.

Alisha: put a few very thin pieces of scotch tape OVER where the lock should be. Put it back in your camera or a card reader and it should trick it enough to get you images off…then throw it away…goodluck
