A camera may call the card &ldquo;locked&rdquo; or &ldquo;write-protected,&rdquo; while a computer may describe it as read-only.</p> <p>These messages all point to the same practical distinction: <strong>reading data and changing data are separate operations</strong>. A device may still be able to retrieve existing information even when writes are being blocked.</p>
