This is my first guide on iFixit! Forgive the poor camera quality... the camera being worked on in the guide is my actual main camera, and it's actually broken.
A screw organizer, preferably a magnetic one, is absolutely necessary for this job. If you have a system that works for you, that's great! Otherwise, I recommend using the compartments in your organizer to separate screws by the step they came from in this guide, so that they can easily be distinguished from one another.
