Clarification Request
I know folk confuse cellular SIM cards with memory cards

But sometimes they also exchanged ReadOnly for Locked. Tell more and for now, be sure your pictures are safe, the write protect switch is on/off and format it in the camera.

Memory Card?

Your camera does not have/use a SIM card.
SIM card are found in cell phones
I assume you mean a SD type memory card.

There is a tiny slide switch on the side of the SD memory card and it is probably set to the "locked" position.
Slide the switch to the unlocked position.

Usually a warning message shows up on the screen.
