I cannot remove the >battery cover on the R8. I can move the cover lock lever, however the battery cover remains in place, and I can't budge >it. Which way is the cover supposed to move? My money says there is a second undocumented unlocking mechanism that must >be engaged. Or do I need the Leica password? Gary, what the hell are you doing taking the battery cover off?????
