SD card won't record new pictures

My camera won't record any new pictures after switching from green box to P and then back to green box. I can see all the old pictures, but it's not recording anything new.

    Is the card full? If not, then check the lock switch on the card itself.
  • Adding to the above, check the physical condition of the lock switch. It's a mechanical feeler only, and if it gets dislodged, or if the reader itself is slightly off, it can fail to record. Try the card on a computer or other card reader to see if it can be written to there.

    I've read of people getting past a defective lock switch by taping over the space, but if possible I would avoid anything that can foul the camera.



    Before you do anything, make sure you copy the pictures on that card to a computer. If the card is defective or failing, they can really disappear.
