            Pry the battery with an opening tool.

            Carefully pull out the battery with two fingers.

            The interior of the camera should look like this.

   - 
                     
            After removing the front and rear panels, locate the viewfinder directly above the lens on top of the camera. 
- 
                     
            Three screws hold the viewfinder in place: two on the top and one on the lens side of the camera. 
- 
                     
            First, remove the screw in the bent corner of the viewfinder with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

-

   - 
                     
            Remove the second screw directly across from the bent corner.

- 
   
   - 
                     
            Remove the final screw directly under the left side of the viewfinder (on the lens side) with a Phillips #00 screwdriver. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            After removing the three screws, the only thing still holding the viewfinder in place is a small plastic peg. 
- 
                     
            Remove the viewfinder with a firm pull directly upwards. 
 
- 
                     
            
- 
   
   - 
                     
            Remove the two clearly visible screws from the control dial with a Phillips #00 screwdriver. 
- 
                     
            Remove the dial—it should come off easily.

            The screen should no longer be screwed to the body.

            Gently push the screen down and then pull it away from the body of the camera.
