What brand and memory capacity is the card? Did you perform a "low level format" on the card, after you inserted it in the camera?
Cards need to be properly formatted before that can be used. Memory cards may have some default formatting scheme on them when you first open the packaging. The formatting that might initially be present are remnants of factory testing, and needs to be completely wiped.

I think that camera uses SD style cards so make sure the LOCK tab is in the correct position for the camera to write to the card. That lock tab should be at the end closest to the terminals of the card.

Any card that came with a camera is probably generic and might not be the best quality. You may want to get a name brand card.

Just to point out that "quick view" and "live view" are auto focus settings for live view and do not apply if you are shooting with the viewfinder. In any case, that should not prevent writing to the card. It might prevent the camera from focusing that will prevent the camera from taking an image, but any image you do take should still write to the card.
(You replied to a 4 year old thread. It is doubtful that the OP is still here, especially since a new card solved their problem.)
