with an adhesive seal,
or a folder on the card
has been designated
"read-only". The card
has been selected only
for playback, so it
cannot be used for
taking pictures, images
cannot be deleted, and
it cannot be initialized.
NO PICTURE Playback cannot be
executed because
there are no pictures
stored on the card.
Solution
Insert the card and lock the card
compartment cover.
Remove the card, wipe clean the
electrical contacts, insert the card, and
then try again. If the message is
displayed again, the card can no
longer be used.
You may be able to use the card again
if you format it. However, formatting
the card will erase all images stored
on the card.
Insert the card in the camera.
Format the card. Formatting the card
will erase all images stored on the
card. On the arrow pad, press
select YES, and then press the
button to format the card.
If the card is protected with an
adhesive seal, remove the seal, or if
the card has been selected for
playback only, cancel the playback-
only selection. If this does not solve
the problem, the card is operating
abnormally. Try to transfer the images
to a computer, or try to copy the
images to another card installed in the
camera. After copying the images, try
to format the card again.
Make sure that a card that contains
images is inserted, or take a picture.
