When I try to edit a picture in the camera I get a sign that says The image cannot be edited. This holds good for every pic on the memory card. I thought that the pictures were protected so I pressed the Reset Protect button and Yes, which should delete every protection of the images. That did not help. I swapped the memory card for an older card taken with the same camera. The same thing happened, all images were protected from editing. Where is the fault, what should I do? Lars-Eric Häggman

This silly error msg comes if you try to edit jpgs in camera which are not shot at 4:3 ratio. It won't let you crop them or change the aspect ratio. Other jpg editing features are permitted. If you want to do these types of edits in camera, you have to shoot in 4:3 ratio.
