Stuck SD Card
cant get card out of camera
Quote:cant get card out of camera
In of my cameras a sharp press down, pops the card up.... they must have a tiny sprung release.
Also....and...I almost did this once....a]have you inadvertently forced the card into the camera the wrong way round....or even the wrong way up.....
I had serious temporary Vision problems for a short time.... it made things like inserting cards very difficult.
If you have done the above you might need to resort to strong clinical tweezers or, even needle-nosed pliers, but ONLY grip the card nothing inside the camera slot....and ensure tgat the camera is SWITCHED OF.
Once again.... other members may be more savvy than me.

I have an Olympus compact that uses a XD card. I couldn't get the card out. (Similar to an SD).
I had a thin strip of Mylar which is very rigid, cut it to close to the width of the slot and pushed it down next to the card, gently worked it and the card came out using tweezers on the end. One of the contacts was damaged, card scrapped. But would not recommend doing this with anything metal. Or using force.

I had this problem years ago with a Nikon D90. I managed to extract the card using tweezers (NB remove battery first!!!), it's a fiddly job but possible with care.
But the fault was with the camera's card-holder, not the card, and it had to be replaced. On Nikon DSLRs it's a detachable unit and replacing it is a relatively simple job for a professional repairer. I have no experience of other makes.
