Tools
- 
                  
                  - 
            Remove the two screws visible on each end of the camera. 
- 
            You should be left with four blue tipped screws.

                  - 
            Take the thin panels off each side now that the screws no longer hold them to the camera. 
- 
            With the panels off, remove the two screws underneath it from each side. These should be red-orange tipped.

                  - 
            Pry the casing off of each side where the seam runs through. It should pop off when some force is applied.

                  - 
            There is a piece with labeling on it. Slide it away from the lens and it will open to reveal the slot that the battery goes into. 
- 
            Remove this screw to take off the red plastic piece on the bottom of the camera. This is a red-orange tipped screw but is a smaller size than all the other ones. 
- 
            This plastic piece will only be connected to the camera itself by two red and black wires. 
 
- 
            
- 
                  
                  - 
            After this, the lens will be held to the camera with two orange strips. Pull these strips out of the film ports to remove the lens.
