Introduction

Removing the casing from the camera is necessary to perform any sort of maintenance to the internals of the camera. Once the case is separated from the camera, make certain to be gentle and disconnect any wire harnesses to avoid damaging any components.

What you need

Step 1 Battery

Place the camera upside down, and position it to where the back of the camera is visible.

Step 2

Pull the orange tab to the right to release the primary battery.

Step 3

To remove the secondary battery, reposition the camera to where the display screen is facing upwards.
Place your finger inside the empty battery compartment and pull away from the camera on the ridged battery tab.

Step 4 Memory Card

Place the camera on its side with the soft touch grip facing up and the top of the camera facing right.

Step 5

Slide the memory card door in the direction of the arrow engraved on the camera.
Once the door has slid open to its full position, lift up on the door.

Step 6

With the door open, push down the small black plunger next to the CF slot. The CF card will disengage from the slot and be ejected far enough that you can grasp it between thumb and forefinger and remove it from the slot.
The plunger will stay in its depressed position until a CF card is again inserted in the slot.
