Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Eye piece and Battery door
  • Removing the eyepiece is easy. There are two methods, you can do it yourself, or put it in your camera bag a dozen times and at least once, it will fall off.
  • Grip the eyepiece by the sides firmly (index finger and thumb). Wiggle it upwards until it is off.

Step 2

  • Open the battery door
  • Rotate the door so the one side of the hinge pops out (see photo #2)
  • Slide other pin out (it pops out the same, but this is easier)

Step 3

              Rubber grips
  • Use a thin piece of plastic, spudger, or fingernail (if you have them) to lift up the edge of the grip, and pull up slowly.
  • Repeat for the other two grips
  • The large one on the battery-side is the easiest to start with. This is required to remove the front & back panels
  • The small one on the back is a bit difficult to get started, but not really difficult to remove.
  • The one on the AV panel will be easier if you open up the AV port cover.
  • Remove the adhesive like you would rubber cement, just rub your finger against it, it will come off.
  • Optionally throw the balled up adhesive at people pretending its a booger :)

Step 6

  • Using a Spudger, fingernail, or other thin plastic tool to wedge the panel off of the camera
  • Start at the camera’s front. Pulling on the rubber av-cover may be enough to get it to move off the body
  • Only pull about 1/4" (3-5mm). There is a tab that will need to slide out

Step 8

  • At this point, the only thing holding on is the dust-cover is hooked onto the front panel
  • Slide down to remove without damaging the cover. (see photo with cover removed)
  • You can see how the cover, and side piece fit together in the second image.
