Tools

Remove the front three screws (3.2mm) using a type T-6 head screwdriver.
Take off smaller front cover.
Carefully remove larger front cover.

Step 2

Remove two screws (4.1mm) on the top of the camera using a #000 Phillips head screwdriver.
Using a #000 Phillips head screwdriver remove two screws (7.9mm) near the control panel and set aside the metal connector.
Although the third photo shows the side panel casing being removed, it is normally secured by a screw under the front framework. You'll need to follow the next two steps to remove the framework and access the screw before you can remove the side casing as shown here.

NOTE: you cannot remove the side piece until you complete steps 3 and 4 because there's a screw holding the corner of it which you can't see until you remove the front framework. You can just let the side piece hang there while you do that.
