Optional Information: Make: PANASONIC Model: HM-TA20 Already Tried: formatting the card , no luck inside the camcorded but can when in sd slot can not import pics or music as it say write protection
Hello, my name is Rusty. I can help.You are probably aware of the write protect switch on the side of the card. If that is in the right position, there is a little lever inside the camera, right where that switch sits when the card is fully inserted. Sometimes it can get stuck or even broken. Using a toothpick, see if you can unstick the lever on your camera. That's the DIY method. If that doesn't help, it may be broken or may have a bad sensor.
HI there Rustysorry mate no go , iv only had the product for a few days any other ideas, im unable to acess the os as its a very idiot proof camcorder
Well if the switch on the card is not in the lock position, and you couldn't get the switch unstuck, I'd say you bought a faulty unit. The switch and sensor are what control that function, not the card itself.
