How to Remove the Lens From a Digital Camera

Remove the lens from your camera using the lens release button.

A digital SLR, among other options, features interchangeable lenses, which allow you to use a certain lens depending on the type of picture being taken. Each lens has advantages and disadvantages, meaning one lens may be more appropriate for a certain setting than another lens. Change your camera's lens using the lens release button.

Instructions

1. Hold your camera securely or rest it on a table.

2. Grasp the lens with one hand and press the lens release button. From the front of the camera the lens release button is located just right of the lens.

3. Twist the lens with the lens release button still depressed. Depending on the make and model of your camera, either twist clockwise or counterclockwise; refer to your user manual for the correct direction for your specific camera.

4. Gently pull the lens away from the camera after you feel it beginning to release.
