I have been reading some k5 SD card problems but no solving, and never find any issue with the K5ii.

Last Sunday I used my K5ii under a rainy day, worked perfect as spected, removed SD card to import them into computer as usual, and back into camera, but now 4 days later, trying to use my camera everything works perfect, it does not want to read any SD card. I have a k01 and tryed all SD cards and they works, so no problems with them.

I'm desperating, any idea.?

Did you try another SD card in the K5ll? What is the error message you get? Which brand is the SD card that's getting the error message and how old is it?

Mystery. Have you tried re-setting the camera to factory defaults?

[kickman]

Yes !! Tried too, but does not work. And I have a wedding in 15 days.

I just watched the video and saw how you removed the card from the box you store them in. You touched the pins on the card, ugh! Fingers have oil on them, and it's not a good idea to touch them to your card/s pins. Try a pencil eraser on the pins, carefully run it across the pins, then use a brush to brush off the pins, and remove the rubbers debris.

Obviously the camera don't read the cards. As you've eliminated the cards as the problem, the problem should be with the camera. It's possible that the problem might be with the card contacts inside the camera, in your place I would try spraying the contacts with a little switch cleaner, one way or another the contacts might've gotten some dirt on them. You can't actually loose anything, because you'll probably have to send it in for repairs, if that doesn't work. I've used switch cleaner in the past on my K-x with sticky shutter button and lens release button, without any problem, and the K-x don't have weather sealing like the K-5...

Im worried about get some sprays inside card slot . Im thinking about a few days ago , I was trying to force a damaged card, with some plastic broken.





Maybe , any contact is twisted
