Photos: Disassembling a digital camera
Disassembling the ViviCam 3705 requires removing two screws holding the tripod mount on the base of the camera.
The bottom half of the shell contains the unit's main circuit board, as well as the electronics that power the camera's flash.
The large grey plastic piece is the backside of the battery compartment. At the top right corner is the flash itself.
The photo flash capacitor, which stores the energy needed to fire the camera's electronic flash, is the black cylinder-like element seen at the bottom left corner.
