Problem regarding 'read only' files

[anonymau5]

So I don't know if the problem is with my Mac, my camera or just me but anyways...
I have a camera and when I try to turn it on it says "write protect" because the files/pictures on it are read-only. To fix this it says to "download the image to a computer and cancel the read-only setting." So after doing this, the pictures on my computer are read and write (and I can change them) but the files in the camera device folder are still read only and I can't edit them at all. Anyone know what the problem is? I hope this makes sense...
Thanks!

There's a little sliding switch on the side of your memory card. I'll bet it's in the locked position. Flip it and try again, and you'll probably find it works perfectly.
