Fixing Pop up Flash Receptacle

Locate the battery door/camera grip on the left side of the camera and lift the rotating removal tab.

Twist the tab clockwise to unlock the door, then pull outward from the camera to remove it.

Remove the battery from inside the battery housing and set the cover aside.

The inside of the flash shoe has a removable cover which is just snapped in place.

Using the flathead screwdriver, pry up on the front end of the cover.

Warning: The cover is on tight and is tough to pry off.

Loosen, but do not remove, the 4 screws on top of the flash shoe.

Locate the black pludger sticking up out of the flash shoe.

Push a paperclip in and out of the plunger hole, ensuring the plunger moves up and down freely.
