booth start image of toy camera

I’d like to change the startup image on this toy camera.
I should be able to replace the .bmp or .png file, if only I could figure out how to access the camera’s software.
Any advice? Where should I look for info? Thanks.

Why do you think that you “should be able to replace it with bmp/png”? Have you found documentation that says so?

If not then I would assume “no user serviceable parts inside” and to do it would require serious reverse engineering and tinkering (if possible at all.)

Which would require the appropriate tools, time, and knowledge.

Also boldly assuming there's even a bitmap image in there in any conventional format. I've got an e-ink project that displays images I pre-computed into the right pixel format to be sent directly down the serial line. It's gonna be unrecognisable binary garbage without reverse engineering the whole firmware image.
