    • This camera houses a very strong capacitor (the black cylinder). Avoid touching anything around the two wires coming out of the top. Doing so will risk serious electric shock.

    • Carefully disengage the internal components from the casing by lifting at the bottom end and giving a gentle tug.

    • The components are still connected to the casing via cables, but they are much more maneuverable.

    • The flash module is shown on the right hand side.
