Introduction
This partial teardown will show you how to disassemble the Exilim EX-Z70 up until the lens.
Tools
-
-
Remove the two screws visible on each end of the camera.
-
You should be left with four blue tipped screws.
-
-
-
Take the thin panels off each side now that the screws no longer hold them to the camera.
-
With the panels off, remove the two screws underneath it from each side. These should be red-orange tipped.
-
-
-
Pry the casing off of each side where the seam runs through. It should pop off when some force is applied.
-
-
-
There is a piece with labeling on it. Slide it away from the lens and it will open to reveal the slot that the battery goes into.
-
Remove this screw to take off the red plastic piece on the bottom of the camera. This is a red-orange tipped screw but is a smaller size than all the other ones.
-
This plastic piece will only be connected to the camera itself by two red and black wires.
-
-
-
After this, the lens will be held to the camera with two orange strips. Pull these strips out of the film ports to remove the lens.
