Check the manufacturer's documentation included with your card
to see if it writable. Refer to the previous section for a list of
compatible cards.
If using an SD card, make sure that the lock tab located on
the right of the SD card is not in the locked position. If using a
Memory Stick/PRO card, make sure that the lock tab located on
