Abstract
In an information processing apparatus capable of accessing a memory card connected to the information processing apparatus and a control method for the information processing apparatus, in a case where a mode for disabling data writing in the memory card is set, at a point when a memory card is connected, an operation mode set in the information processing apparatus is automatically changed to an operation mode for not performing data writing in the memory card.
Claims8
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an interface unit configured to connect with a memory card;
- disable mode setting means for setting a write disable mode for disabling data writing in a memory card;
- mode setting means for setting an operation mode;
- and
- mode change means for, in a case where the memory card is connected to said interface unit and the write disable mode is set by said disable mode setting means, changing an operation mode set by said mode setting means to an operation mode for disabling data writing in the memory card.
A control method for an information processing apparatus that is capable of accessing a memory card connected to the information processing apparatus through an interface, the control method comprising:
- a disable mode setting step of setting a write disable mode for disabling data writing in the memory card;
- a mode setting step of setting an operation mode;
- and
- a mode changing step of changing, in a case where the memory card is connected through the interface and the write disable mode is set in the disable mode setting step, an operation mode set in said mode setting step to an operation mode for not enabling data writing in the memory card.
