Seeing an error message on your Samsung camera’s LCD screen might make you panic, but it’s not all bad news; errors can help you fix the problem. Below are common error messages on Samsung cameras and what you can do to fix them.

The Card Error or Card Locked error message on a Samsung camera refers to a problem with the memory card, most likely an SD memory card, and not so much with the camera itself.

First, check the write-protect switch on the side of the SD card. Flip the switch to unlock the card.

If you continue to receive this error, the card may be defective or broken. Try using the memory card in another device to see if it is readable. You can reset this error by turning the camera off and on again.
