Position the camera with the lens facing down and the shutter button facing you.

Lift the metal plate away from the camera without removing it fully. There is a ribbon attaching the edge of the plate to the camera.

The ribbon is being held in place by a black latch.

Carefully pry the spudger under the black latch and lift gently upward. The ribbon will slide out easily.

With the ribbon unlatched, the entire metal plate should now be detached.
