General Information:

The FS 1 housing:

Fantasea now introduces specifically designed housing for the Nikon Coolpix S1 and
S3 digital cameras. The housings, dedicated to these two cameras insure a  compact
design for easy handling and accurate access to camera functions through the critical
placement of push-button controls.
These two Coolpix cameras manage to pack a powerful 35-105mm 3x Zoom-Nikkor
ED lens (35mm equivalent) while retaining a surprisingly slim depth of just 19.7mm.
The lens also makes use of Nikon’s “right-angled” optics system, which enables the
lens to function throughout its focal range without ever protruding from the camera
body.
Other similarities include the same control layout, a 2.5-inch LCD, SD memory slot
with 12MB internal memory.
The S1 is unique in that it does not have an eyepiece to look out of, only through the
LCD screen is the image viewed.

The FS 1 housing provides a built in Flash Diffuser and an anti-glare hood over the
LCD screen. Additional Features:

This housing is ideal for outdoor and underwater photographers who prefer to use the
camera s automatic exposure features for capturing fast action pictures easily and
creatively.

FS 1 Uses:

The FS 1

 

housing is designed as an underwater/outdoor camera housing. It has a

working depth of 130 feet/40 meters. Underwater photographers can dive or snorkel
and capture all the excitement of this fascinating world, while outdoor photographers
also have the option of capturing the action of such activities as white water and
paddle sports, sailing and boating, surfing, fishing and hunting, backpacking and
camping, and for family activities around the swimming pool or at the beach. The FS
1will protect those Coolpix cameras from water, sand, dust, and other damaging
elements.
