My samsung digimax s500 seems to be stuck on. I can't turn it off. If I open the battery door will I lose the pictures on the SD card?

Try formatting the sd card IN the camera. Never format an SD card while it is in the computer.

The S500 works with SD cards, 2GB or smaller. It will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Hi,

No, you will not loose the pictures on the SD Card.

Please go ahead and restart.

Thank you.

batteries are dead,or not in properly.if not. only use energizer lithium batteries.others burn out very fast,hope i was helpful.

How I fixed my Camera:

> First take your Memory card off, and remove battery
> Now, leave your camera without battery-power
=(wait for while!)

>Then,start your camera WITHOUT Memory-Card.

Note: MiniSD Card with adapter, may crash/freeze camera.
(so use the real "one piece" SD-card, not that Micro-thing!)

>When i removed the old SD card, everything was OK.

I hope this can help many others?

No. The S500 only works with SD cards, up to 2GB in size. It will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.

THe SD card inside has a lever to its left Side .... Move it upwards ..... That is the lock on the Memory Card ...

Hi,

Yes, you can use a 2 GB SD card in your camera.
