Originally posted by telfish Never had a card stick in my k7 or k5. There is a knack to ejecting these cards. You press down with your finger nail and then quickly remove your nail to allow the spring to eject the card. Some cards will come right out of the camera and most will just pop up enough to remove easily. If you just allow the card to eject against finger pressure then it will sit low in the slot and be difficult to remove due to the card door being a tight fit.
This works for my brand new Pentax K-5. I almost had heart failure when I could barely get the Sandisk card out with pulling hard. Tried another Sandisk card, same thing. On my K-7 the card almost flies out.
But your suggestion works, though I have to really release the pressure very quickly.
After it was "almost" stuck the third time, I did a search and my reliable Pentax forum had the answer, thank you.
