to read the General and Photo Tips.
We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly
to have a full understanding of where each camera control is

1. Lid Snaps have a LLoocckk. To open, push each Lid Snap Lock
forward and lift as shown. Keep pressure on the Lid Snap so
that it does not fly open
quickly.
Some lid snaps have a lot of
spring tension once they go
over center, so keep a firm
grip on the lid snap. Lid
snaps may be opened one at
a time or simultaneously.
