With the camera turned on, press the pop-up flash button to release the flash.
Be sure to turn the camera back off before proceeding.
Remove the two 4.3 mm Phillips screws securing the top edge of the front cover to the top cover.

What if you are disassembling the camera because it wont turn on. If you cant pop up the flash is there a work around?

Remove the seven 4.3 mm Phillips screws securing the bottom cover to the camera body
Remove the two 2.5 mm Phillips screws also securing the bottom cover to the camera body
Open the battery door and carefully remove the bottom cover, as the battery door components become unsecured when the bottom cover is removed.
