Open the rubber panel on the side of the camera to reveal the last two 5mm exterior screws which are silver.
Once you have removed the last of the screws, use an iFixit opening tool to separate the two halves of the camera.
Take a half of the camera in each hand and gently pry them apart, pulling up on the side across from where the buttons are located.

With the screen now exposed, you must unscrew the three silver 2mm screws attaching it to the body of the camera.
Use the iFixit opening tool to lift the screen away from the body so that the only thing connecting it to the rest of the camera is the thin, orange wire cable.
Using your pointer finger and thumb, firmly grasp the cable and pull it straight away from the camera to disconnect it.
