Canon EOS Rebel T2i Top Casing Replacement

Introduzione

This guide will show you how to remove the top cover from the camera. This can be useful if you are needing to replace the top cover, needing to repair a part located inside the top cover, or to gain access to another part of the camera.

The Phillips #000 screwdriver is marked as an optional tool as you can always use the JIS #000 screwdriver in its place (JIS screwdrivers won't damage Phillips head screws).
