Step 4Solder on the wires on the PCB
I used coated copper wire for this purpose. We don't need to transmit much current and we don't have place for large wire.
Coated Copper wire is isolated to the outside with isolating varnish, so if the wire itself touches anything inside the camera it won't cause a short. To remove it just heat up the end with the soldering iron and apply some tin. If the tinned end gets to big shorten it with a pliers.
To solder the wires to the pins you need a soldering iron with a very small tip. If your soldering iron is to big, wound some rigid copper wire (diameter > 1mm) up the tip of the soldering iron. This way you get a very small tip to solder even smallest points.
Normally you don't need any additional tin, as the pins are already tinned, so just place the trimmed and tinned copper wire on top of the pin and quickly heat it up. That normally only need seconds. Try not to de-solder the pins from the PCB!
