Remove the two Phillips screws (2.83 mm) from the left side panel of the camera casing.
The left panel can now be removed. However, one piece of tape attaches it to the camera, so a spudger may be required to ease the panels off.
Repeat for the right side panel of the camera.
Keep track of which screws go where. There are a couple sets of screws to take out and they are all small and look the same.
