Step 2Slaughter the camera!
Now this is going to be a fairly dangerous part, open up the camera and get the circuit out safely without getting shocked by the capacitor...
(The capacitor in the camera is a large black cylinder thing, it is used for making flashes for the camera, but now we are going to use it to shock people!)
First, pry open the camera's case apart with a flat-head screwdriver or just use your hands if you like, but you are more likely to get shocked by the capacitor.
After you taken the camera's case off, discharge the capacitor with a insulated screw driver, and you may get a big loud spark, and after that, the capacitor is discharged... (Use a screwdriver you hate so much, because a fully charged capacitor will leave a scar on the metal part of the screwdriver!)
Great! You had done the dangerous step on this instructable! (Some people say this is the fun part of the instructable because you get a loud spark from the capacitor.)

(the wires coming out of the big round thing that has a stripe with - signs on it, it usually says something like such-and-such-a-number-uF)
of the capacitor, they say you should get something with a handle so it doesn't shock you but I don't think it matters
