Hi all

I've just purchased my second Fuji Finepix F440 camera as I'd like to
try and make a digital stereo camera. However I'd like to remove the
small clip on the side which takes the carrying strap.

I can undo the 4 small screws on each side of the camera but the screws
on the bottom are not the standard '+' screws, they have 3 slots from
the center instead of 4. Does anyone know where I can buy such a driver?
- My only alternative is to try and return the camera to Fuji but as it
isn't actually broken, I'm wondering if it's paid for under the
guarantee.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Get a security set of driver bits.

Just visit pretty much any electronic/hardware store and look for a
collection of 'specialty' screwdriver bits - they are often quite
cheaply sold in disposals stores here in Oz.. The one you want is
called a tri-wing I think, but you will also need to get the right
size...

Unless Fuji have got a proprietary one of their own, but I doubt it.
