Do you use the lock switch on the SD memory card?

Mostly never. However, the only time I did was for the cards of pictures taken in Ireland.

I do, but rarely, when I have a card with images that I have not had time to download. This is mostly right after I have returned from a trip and don't want to go to the computer right away.

When I travel, I always take a fast laptop and a large USB 3 digital drive, and download the photos to the remote drive at the end of the day. I may also do some preliminary post processing with LR and PS. I sometimes put the SD card with my photos in a separate pocket in my camera bag as a backup. I have never felt the need to lock the card. Perhaps just laziness, but I haven't been bitten yet.

I used it once, recently on vacation, so I didn't accidentally delete my photos before downloading them. Ever since, I have been having trouble when putting it in my PC, it often locks before insertion into pc, or re-insertion into camera. Shutter will not work when locked, nor can you download to pc when locked. Sorry I used it once, hopefully never again.

I thought of an actual reason which I will try. I have a small cheap SD card to which I have saved my settings to restore if I tinker with them. I will lock that sucker.

Do you use the lock function on the SD memory and if so how do you use it? What for?

SD Cards are Cheaper Now, I Can Buy a Sony or San Disk SD Card for Around $6 to 8 Dollars at Wal-Mart, a 32GB for Under $20 also at Wal-Mart, when I'm Finished with the Cards I Lock Them with the Switch on the Side, & Store Until I Now Transfer to Flash Drive, Afterwards I Keep Cards as Master Copies, if Something happens to the Flash Drives.
I have my Backup, you have your Backup!
