Important Notice
10. Double Fiber Optic Cable Port – The 2 fiber optic cable ports with the inserted adaptors allow for
easy attachment of up to 2 fiber optic cables to the housing. For further instructions, please refer to
the section "Underwater Flashes & Strobes" in this manual.
Note that the FA6400 Housing blocks the output of the built‐in flash and prevents it from being
visible in images captured. This ensures that only the external strobes connected to the system
illuminate the subject, thereby diminishing the effects of backscatter, as well as shadowing caused by
housing lens port and lens accessories mounted on the housing.
11. Lens Dial – When a zoom lens is installed on the camera and a compatible lens gear is installed on
the lens, turning this dial rotates the lens ring. For proper and smooth operation, it is recommended
to install a Fantasea lens gear on the lens. For further instructions regarding installation of the lens
gear, please refer to the instruction manual provided with your lens gear and/or lens port. For lens
ports and lens gears compatible with your housing, please visit the Fantasea website –
www.fantasea.com
12. Interchangeable Lens Port System – The housing features an FML interchangeable lens port system,
which allows using a wide range of lenses underwater. The housing is compatible with any FML lens
port, as well as other lens ports available in the market. For compatibility information, please visit the
FA6400 Housing page on the Fantasea website – www.fantasea.com
For further instructions regarding lens ports installation and removal please refer to the section
"Installing and Removing Lens Ports".
Once the M16 port cover has been removed and replaced, it important to
carry out the first dive with the housing empty (no camera installed inside)
in order to verify that the housing watertight seal has not been affected
during the replacement.
