Step 3

  • With tweezers - although you can also use your fingers - you may remove these 5 gears (shown with colored squares around them) and place them somewhere else for the time being. They fall out easily while you’re working, so this will help you stay organized.

Step 8

              Back Latch
  • Once the front, top, and bottom covers have all been removed, it’s time to remove the back latch! Using a paperclip or something similar (anything that’s very skinny), push on the end of the skinny, silver, metal rod that vertically travels through the camera. Do this until enough of the rod pops out on the other side for the next step.
