Also, after you get the metal plate off, pay close attention
to the position of the switch ring's position, so that
you can put it back the same way! Remove the large
screw (with a very thin slot screwdriver), the spring,
and then the three tiny screws holding the switch together.
Take the ring off, and then you have to unscrew the
piece below it (might be tight, carefully push against
the tab with a screwdriver). Remove the single screw
by the tripod mount. Now you should be able to
separate the shell.
While you're at it, you might as well replace the
cells with NiMH batteries!

You need to pull the decal off first, after that it will be obvious. The
difficult part is getting the decal off without damaging it. I've had
good luck using mild solvents such as methanol or heptan. Work it in by
covering the decal in the solvent and then pushing gently in the centre.
That causes the solvent to slowly work it's way in via the edges. After a
while you'll be able to lift off the decal.
