Introduction
Removing the back cover is the first step for accessing most components on the camera. It can also be necessary if you need to replace the back cover itself or the LCD screen.
Note that the Phillips #000 screwdriver is marked as an optional tool as you can always use the JIS #000 screwdriver in its place (JIS screwdrivers won't damage Phillips head screws).
