USING THE FANTASEA FL-14 HOUSING
OPENING THE HOUSING
1.
Release all four latches at the same time, and lift off back half to open housing.
INSERTING CAMERA
Since the
Fantasea FL-14
is specifically designed for the Coolpix L14 digital camera, inserting the camera
into the housing is quite simple.
1.
Mount the camera on the removable tray, using the tripod screw.
2.
Slide the tray and camera into the housing tray slot. Make sure it is completely inserted.
3.
Make sure the camera lens is centered in the rounded port area and that the lens does not distort the
round black rubber seat. The housing is designed to have the camera fit in place perfectly, but if you
are not careful, it is possible to put it in at an improper angle and hence it will be impossible to get a
good seal or easy closure of the housing.
4.
After camera insertion, be sure that the extended camera lens does not catch or bend the
black rubber seat on the inside of the lens port. It is vital that the lens does not disturb this
rubber seat.
Notes:
1.
It is recommended to make some camera settings prior to
inserting camera into the housing. Please refer to the
Coolpix owner's manual for menu options and personal
preferences.
2.
Take a few test shots: it is recommended to turn the camera
"on" and program to “Flash Always” mode before inserting
into housing and then take test shots to make sure all
systems are working.
Note!
It is strongly recommended to take the first dive without the camera
inside the housing. You should check that the water tight seal has
not been affected during transport and long periods of storage.
