(Cat. No. 5136) 

Instruction Manual

 

 

1. Introduction 

The Fantasea 

BigEye Lens FP7000

 is a patented “wet” accessory wide angle lens that was specially designed 

for the Fantasea FP7000 underwater camera housing (for Nikon Coolpix P7000). The lens fits onto the 
housing lens port and can be installed and removed during the course of the dive. It is perfect for 
photographing seascapes, divers, ship wrecks and schools of fish without moving further away from the 
subject, thereby still taking full advantage of water clarity and artificial light sources.  
 

2. Technology 

The BigEye Lens FP7000 makes use of a new patented lens technology, which allows for high quality 
underwater wide angle images free of distortions. The new technology uses air instead of glass as an optical 
element and enables recovering 100% of the camera lens optical properties that would normally be lost 
underwater. The air pocket inside the lens enhances the angle of light refraction, thereby restoring the 
original angle of coverage of the camera lens (see figures below). This patented technology was specially 
designed for underwater photography and therefore the lens should only be used when the system is 
submerged in water.
