Introduction

Use this guide to remove the two metal neck strap loops.

Tools

Step 1

Grasp the eyepiece with your fingers and slide upwards to remove it.

Step 2

Using a PH000 screwdriver bit, remove the three black screws shown in the two pictures that are all 4 mm in length and 1 mm in diameter.

Step 3

Using a Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the two black screws shown in the picture that are both 6 mm in length and 1.25 mm in diameter.

Step 4

Pull off the front cover.

Step 5

Using an opening tool (you can also use your nails, but try not to use something potentially damaging to the camera such as metal), separate the top cover from the rest of the camera!

Try to be gentle in removing the top cover. The transparent wheel underneath the mode dial knob can pop loose when the plastic axle's cap is already worn out.
