c.
Note: Housing and camera mode dials may not remain aligned during your dive.
Therefore, it
is important to check the shooting mode selected and displayed on the camera LCD screen
when switching modes. Even in such cases, since mode labels on the housing mode dial
appear according to their order on the camera mode dial, they can still assist with the
amount of turning required in order to reach the desirable shooting mode.
d.
In order to switch modes, apply slight downward pressure on the mode dial as you rotate it
in order to create enough contact pressure to accurately reach the desired mode.

Cold-Shoe Mount for Lighting Accessories-
Enables mounting a flash, video light, torch or focus light
on top of the housing by using a dedicated connector. For further information regarding such
connectors, please visit the Fantasea website –

Flash Push Down Control –
This control allows blocking the camera built-in flash after it has been
popped-up by using the Flash Up switch.
a.
In order to prevent the camera built-in flash from firing, apply slight downward pressure on
the Flash Push Down control and slide it rightwards until is sits securely in the small slot
toward the right side, as indicated by the arrow direction on top of the control. This pushes
down the camera built-in flash enough in order to prevent it from firing.
b.
In order to release the camera built-in flash again, slide the Flash Push Down control
leftwards until it returns to its original position on the left. This will enable the flash to pop-
up again and to fire whenever activated.
9.
Fiber Optic Cable Plate-
a.
When installed on the housing, the fiber optic cable plate and the two adaptors inserted
inside it allow for an easy attachment of 2 fiber optic cables to the housing. For further
instructions, please refer to the section “External Flashes”.
b.
Remove the fiber optic cable plate from the housing in order to make use of the internal
camera flash during your dive. In order to remove the plate, insert your fingers beneath the
adaptors installed inside the plate and pull the plate upwards till it is removed from its slot.
Note that when photographing using the camera built-in flash only, the flash diffuser
accessory should be installed, or else unwanted shading will occur in most images taken.
c.
Make sure the fiber optic cable plate is secured to the housing by its secure line in order to
avoid losing it during the dive.
d.
If using only one external flash, make sure the second fiber optic cable adaptor remains in its
place to block any light coming out of the exposed adaptor hole.
