To protect valuable files (available only for SD Memory Card)
Slide the write/erase protection tab on the side of the memory card in the direction of “LOCK”. This prevents the memory card from being recorded over. To record on this memory card, slide the tab back to the position opposite to “LOCK” before loading it.
