    • If the old battery is still in the slot, then make sure the camera is turned off prior to removal.

    • If there is a battery currently in the slot, remove by first pulling downwards on the blue component. This will allow you to remove the battery from the slot.

    Be careful, i got an electrical shock even after removing the battery when i touched the inner case. i guess, you have to wait some time for static electricity to disapear
