Have problem with Canon Powershot A510 camera

Apr 27, 2005 2:35AM PDT

I have purchased Canon Powershot A510 digital camera one week ago. I purchased a Kigston SD memory card (512 MB) separately. I tried to insert the SD memory card into the camera. Before inserting I locked the memory card with the Write protect switch. I then inserted the memory card into the camera. The camera LCD display shows ?Card Locked !?. I wanted to format the memory card before use. However I am not able to format the card.

When I try to remove the memory card out of the camera, it doesn?t come out. It just comes half way and then gets stuck in the camera.

Please let me know how I can get away with this problem.

The lable on some cards is not firmly on and peels off. You have to finagle the card out.

To jiggle, cajole the part from the camera.

Hey thanks a lot. I was a bit scary in pulling the memory card out. One of my friends did that and the memory card came out.

Your technique worked out.

Have a great day.
