Hello friends,

first of all open your camera beware not to destroy the cmos sensor....
i extended the wires of the image capturing button outside the webcam which allows us to have still images..
i also a switch to turn the led's on or off they were yellow and grey it may be different for yours.....

Reversing the Lens...

second step is that we have to reverse the lens placed over the cmos sensor.......just place it 2-3mm away from the cmos sensor...

Close the Cover....

after reversing the lens screw the webcam back..... now its ready to use but i made a stand to get still images from it......

Final Body....

i used a soap box and fixed the webcam over it and as u can see from image it can be adjusted for getting images
also i used a mirror below it so that the light spreads all over the object placed over it and also it provides the light from below the object....
ALL DONE....PLACE ANYTHING BELOW THE LENS......ENJOY. :)
