Did you get the battery out?

Something has happened to the spring inside. You will have to hold open that latch and then turn it over for the battery to fall out.

I also had a problem with releasing the battery when the camera is hot.

My solution was to attach kapton tape "tabs" to each of my batteries. This way I can release the latch and pull the battery out with the "tab" if the battery is stuck... It's best to use kapton tape (it also goes by the name Polyimide tape) since it is thin, strong, and suitable for high temperature. I've attached a sample picture.

That is awesome! And I thought I was the only one doing this... :lol: Never had issues with my cards getting stuck though.
