The internals of digital cameras like the Sony DSC S-85 have a number of circuit boards like the one pictured here.
The Sony Cybershot DSC-S85 is a 4.1 megapixel camera that was released by Sony back in 2001. At the time the DSC-S85 entered the market as the "first 4 megapixel consumer level digital camera" according to the website DP Review. The camera had the usual program modes and zoom lens. The steps to disassemble any digital camera are very similar, and it is important to remember that whenever you do take apart a camera or lens you are likely voiding any warranty that may be in effect on the camera.
Instructions
1. Hold the camera in one hand, turn it upside down and remove the battery from the camera.
2. Lay a piece of cloth or small tea towel on a table to use as a working surface. Work in a well lit area.
3. Locate and remove the small Phillips screws that are positioned on the sides and bottom of the Sony DSC-S85. Set the screws in a small dish or to one side of the towel on the table. There are two screws in the flash holder on the top of the camera, these can be easily overlooked. Be sure to remove these as well.
4. Separate the two sections of the camera. Do this slowly as there is a ribbon cable that will be connecting the rear LCD screen to the internal processor of the camera.
5. Locate and remove any additional Phillips screws located inside the camera to further remove boards or other components of the camera.
6. Remove the front section of the camera that will hold the lens and motors used to work the zoom function. There are no external screws to remove to release the lens, use care when you are removing the front part as not to damage the lens and related components. With the front portion removed from its case you should be able to view the circuit boards and the other electronics used in the camera.
