Opening the camera to get to the SD car slot - Cameras

Hi,

Pull out the SD card (Memory card) by opening from your camera, SD card slot is located near phone battery. You'll find a small lock switch on the left side of SD card, Make sure that it is slid UP in unlock position, You would not able to edit or modify if SD card is locked.

Thanks and have a nice day.

There are usually 2 places that an sd-card can be inserted in a digital camera - Inside near the battery under the door, or a separate flap on the bottom of the camera labeled SD.

• If there isn't a slot specifically for an SD-card on the bottom of your camera, open the battery door.
  

Try and locate a very thin rectangular ****. Once you have found the slot, take your sd card and push it inside the slot until you hear a click, that means it's securely in place.

It appears to be a normal SD card slot.
The camera can handle cards up to 1GB.

Your camera supports an SD card. SD cards have a tiny switch that can be used to write-protect the card.
Make sure that the card memory is not full. If you are certain that the card is locked try to locate the tiny switch and move it to the 'unlock' position.
The following diagrams may assist you in finding the location of the switch:


Card Switch in Downward "Locked" Position (note the arrow by the word "Lock")






Card Switch in Up "Unlocked" Position





If you have tried this, and it is still showing locked, it is likely that the locking switch inside the camera's card slot is stuck. If you look inside the slot on the side of the slot where the SD card slide switch would be, you will see a glint of gold color on the side. This is the camera's lock/unlock switch. The other glints of gold that you may see at the far end of the slot are the reader's connectors (ignore those).

Camera's SD Card Lock/Unlock Switch




Somehow, the locking switch is making contact and has become stuck in the locked position (a single grain of sand can jam it there). With a plastic toothpick, or other skinny NON-METALLIC item, tap and gently push against this switch to see if you can jar open the contact to its normal unlocked position. Also try blowing compressed air at it, to clear out any gunk that may have worked its way in there, jamming it closed. Occasionally, reinsert the SD card to see if the issue has been corrected.
　
If repeated tries fail, it may be time to consider opening the camera to force open this switch (not recommended unless you have some familiarity with electronics).

Thank you for using fixya!

That depends on the camera. If the camera supports Sandisk Micro, then the SD card will fit into a slot. The slot is often located near to the battery.

You will just have to push card in and camera will automatically read card.

If camera does not read the card, ensure that the camera model can support SanDisk Micro, and that it will also support card size. Older cameras do not support big memory card (eg.4Gb)

The camera has one xD slot, and is supplied with an adapter which fits into the slot if you wish to use micro-SD cards. Regular SD and mini-SD cards will not fit.

First I know you've said you've checked the card's slide switch, but just want to restate this first for others with the same problem who may not know of this switch.

Check to make sure that you didn't accidentally place the tiny locking slide switch on the side of your SD card in the "locked" downward position. The correct "unlocked" position should be slid up toward the direction of the connectors.
