Hello everyone,

I was trying to modify an old digital camera (Kodak EasyShare C913) by removing the IR filter. While taking it apart and moving some of the components around, I accidentally received an electric shock.

After looking more closely, I think the shock came from the camera’s flash capacitor, which is labeled 330V, 110µF. I didn’t realize it could still hold such a high voltage even with the camera powered off.

Now I’m nervous about touching the camera again. How can I safely discharge the capacitor and reassemble the camera? If I want to continue the modification, what precautions should I take to avoid getting shocked again?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is pretty urgent because I’m honestly afraid to handle it now.
