    • Turn the camera upside down and unscrew these two bottom 6 mm screws located on either side of the body by using the J00 head screw.

    This step is not necessary.

    • Bend the camera's screen forward to uncover two 3 mm screws below the eyepiece.

    • Locate them and unscrew them.

    There's also a screw under the dial just to the right of the viewfinder. You have to pull off a sticker in the middle of it to access. I also removed the top part of the camera in order to easier remove the back. It may not be necessary to do this.

    That is correct, I think it is necessary to do so, at least it is much easier that way.

    • Use a plastic opening tool around the body of the camera to wedge the back cover off. Start from the bottom next to the battery compartment.

    • If necessary, lightly use your hand to pull the the back cover down to completely remove it.

    Is not necessary remove the back cover to remove the top cover.

    Jocelito -

    But it is necessary to remove the back cover to change the Jog Wheel and that is what the instruction is for…
