    I had this issue for some time and never realized that lithium battery was so easily accessible. Fixed my problem.

    • This camera requires AA batteries.

    • To remove batteries, simply allow them to fall out of the camera.

    • Use a fingernail to lift the clock battery out of the camera.

    • When replacing the AA batteries, verify they are oriented correctly by following the (+) and (-) signs on the camera.

    • Remove the screw located under the rubber flap on the left side of the camera using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

  5. blUOIEc6uful2RCO

    • Remove the two screws located on the other side of the camera using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

    • Remove the three screws located at the bottom of the camera using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

    • Open the battery cover.

    • Using the iFixit opening tool, push up gently around all edges of the camera.

    Ik kan de achterkant er niet afkrijgen.

    De onderzijde gaat wel wat open, maar wat ik ook probeer de bovenzijde blijft op de een of andere manier haken en geeft geen krimp.

    Hopelijk hooft iemand hier iets op verzonnen om hem wel open te kunnen krijgen.

Zach, can you show how to replace the Ring Release Button? The release button appears to be fixed to the front cover once it is removed. Can we purchase a replacement release button?

If it is the flash element that needs to be replace, I presume I will see it when I’m there.

Is this correct ?
