SD card won't stay inserted

0 votes
I'm having issues getting the SD card to stay inserted. I've tried 6 different cards and am having the same issue. Did I get a faulty camera and should I send back? Or is there a quick fix I can do to avoid return?

Sorry to hear about this. This issue has been rare but a few have reported it. Did you make sure that the card is fully inserted until it bottoms out? Please see pictures at

the card should be about 1mm deeper than the edge of the mini-USB connector. If you have short nails you may need too push it with a coin, key, small screwdriver, etc. Just make sure you are ready to catch it, because if you slip with your tool, the card will come flying out.
