Hi fellow S1 owners,
Take a good look at your S1.... You'll find there are 29 screws on the casing and others you can see hidden near the LCD, battery & CF compartments.
(Bet, you can't find them all on first review
In fact, I'm sure someone here is going to post a reply asking where they all are, or dispute the number
... There's always one in every crowd!
Anyway,.... After you've been using your camera for a while, some of those screws can tend to become loose... Expansion, contraction due to temperature differences, handling the camera, etc..... Some may not have even been properly tightened right from the factory.
It's a good idea, in fact, not just with the S1 but also with any camera, to occasionally, use a quality Jewellers Philips head screw driver and carefully tighten them a little. This keeps the camera body and it's bits and pieces nice and rigid, giving that solid , like new feel... may even stop any little squeaks your camera has.
Don't over tighten or apply too much torque... Just enough so their not loose... You don't want to break the plastic or risk damaging the threads themselves.

Kind Regards
