MEMORY CARD IS STUCK IN CAMERA

Memory card is stuck. Normally, to remove you push down, and then there is a click and the spring pushes up the card and sets it free. Now, it won't push down or pull out. Camera is still useable (by downloading pics from the camera via cable to computer), but would love to be able to get the memory card out!

SOURCE: memory card stuck in camera

Normally the card is spring loaded, so when you press down on it, it will pop out. If the card is stuck solid, don't try and force it out. Be gentle and try coax it out with some needle nose pliers.
If you feel the plastic flexing or if anything may break, it may a case of dissembling the camera.

SOURCE: Hi, I've a Panasonic LUMIX FZ38 (fw version 1.0).

Yes, it's normal. You should never try to delete, format, transfer to camera, or anything else with the computer. It's always from camera to computer...never the other way around. And when you're finished downloading, always use the "safely remove hardware" icon at the bottom right of your computer screen.

SOURCE: How do you download pics from camera to computer?

probably it is set to store on the internalmemory or the card is locked...this model operates with an SD card ..and it has a minimum 2G from what I know...if the picks are on internal memory ..and it is not seen as a removable device ..first try to remove the card to be sure that what you will find it is the actual internal memory ...
you will probably need a driver for it ...or at least the program that came with the camera ...you can also try a picture manager like ACDsee or so ...and after you install the manager ( you can use the manager that came on cd ) ...but in general ...remove the card to be sure that you are not confusing them ...after that open the manager and clik import from device ...most managers for photos have this feature ...after that choose from the list of devices the camera by name ...it will locate the picture..than a wizard like window will guide you to select the pictures and download them ...it will make a folder od desktop for Mac ...and for windows on my documents ...(my pictures folder with the date on for a name ..)

SOURCE: I want to transfers photos from the in-built

You can accomplish the transfer by going into the menu and find "copy". Follow the instructions for copying from the internal memory to the memory card.

Turn the camera off first.
To remove the memory card you have to push it down a bit, you may hear a little 'click' and as you let go the card will pop up a bit.
Then you can pull it out.

Let me know. Thanks.

I have a camera that carries a 1GB SD and when it is inserted in the camers the camera says the card is locked, but the switch on the side of the card shows it is not locked. what can I do?

Spray dry air or contact cleaner into card slot to remove any debris...work card in and out several times should have a push-push action...pushing in card should slightly spring back...push again card should pop out a little.
Sounds like latch that catches and holds card is broke or stuck...hope it's stuck!

The Memory Card Stuck in The Camera,m How to remove it?

The spring lock inside the camera is probably broke. Attempt to manually remove the card with a pair of tweezers if you cannot push the card, in, to release the spring lock. The camera will have to be dis-assembled to fix the spring lock.

MY MEMORY CARD WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE WHEN I PUSH IT INTO SD SLOT

  • Most likely the SD card is not being pushed in far enough to lock into place. You really need to use your fingernail to push it in past flush until you hear a clicking sound, at which point the card will lock into place.
  • Here are full instructions for insertion and removal of the SD card: Insert the memory card with the metal contacts going into the slot first and facing up at you. In other words the SD card label should be upside down when you insert it this way. You need to push the card in past flush to have the spring mechanism lock the card into place. To get the card out of the slot, push the card in past flush and then the spring mechanism will release it. You will hear a click when the card locks into place or is released from the slot.

    My card got stuck in my camera how do i take it out?

    sir it's simple please follow my instructions

    Instructions
    1. To remove the battery from your digital camera, you need to place your thumb on the rubber grip on the bottom of the camera where it says CARD/BATT.OPEN>.
    2. Now applying pressure slide this little door outwards away from the body of the camera and it should click and release. The door stays attached, but now you can swing it out of the way to access both the battery and the SanDisk memory card.
    3. At this point you will see the battery and the small SanDisk memory card in the recess. Push down gently onto the top of the memory card until it clicks.
    4. This will release it and it will spring up about a quarter inch so that you can grasp it and pull it out of the camera. Pull the memory card out of the camera.
    5. Lastly, be careful with the memory card, it is easy to lose and very delicate!

    Memory card

    The XD-Picture card is the right type for your camera. And they are all the same size physically as far as I can tell. 20.0mm x 25.00mm x 1.7mm.
    Have you tried pushing the card all the way in? Sometimes there is a spring catch inside digital cameras that will click once you have it in all the way, and when you push again it springs out for easy removal.
    Maybe it just needs a little shove :) However if it feels like you are against a solid object and no amount of pushing will get it in further then you may have something in the cardslot, or something is getting caught on the card.

    Digital Camera film is stuck

    Digital cameras don't have film, they use a memory card. Depending on the type of memory card, there's either a button right next to it that you push in and that will eject the memory card (ie: Compact flash), or if it's an SD card, just push in the card until it clicks... then the card will be spring activated and come out. Let me know if that helps. If not, repost the brand and model of camera.
