Default Removing film cables from connector from Lumix digital camera.

Trying to remove the film cables from this pc board. There doesn't seem to
be anything obvious that will release the connector. Can it be as simple as
pulling very hard? Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help.

This looks similar to connectors on laptops - not surprisingly. The
cable is probably clamped in place and to release the clamp the very
ends of the connector will move a little bit towards the cable. This
releases the clamp and the cable will slide out easily. Be gentle, the
plastic is not strong! (Dont ask how I know!!!).
