Removing The Camera From The Housing; Using The Camera Built-In Flash - Fantasea Line FG7X II S Instruction Manual

11. Using the Vacuum Safety System installed inside the housing, perform a pre-dive check to confirm
the watertight seal of the housing. See "Hybrid Vacuum Safety System" section for further
instructions.

REMOVING THE CAMERA FROM THE HOUSING

1. After use, thoroughly rinse the housing fresh water. Prior to opening the housing, make sure
both your hands and the housing are clean and dry. It is recommended to have a clean, dry and
soft towel handy in order to dry your hands and the water drops on the housing.
2. Prior to opening a vacuumed housing, the vacuum should be released using the Vacuum Valve.
For further instructions, please refer to the section "Fantasea Hybrid Vacuum Safety System".
3. When opening the housing, it is important to hold it so the lens port is facing down. This will
prevent the camera from slipping out of the housing while being opened.
4. Open the housing as described in the section "Opening the Housing" and carefully remove the
camera from the housing. Take sufficient care that no water drips from your hair and body onto
the housing and camera.

USING THE CAMERA BUILT-IN FLASH

1. The Canon G7 X Mark II camera has a built-in flash capable of illuminating nearby underwater
subjects. For stronger lighting, illuminating subjects that are farther away, avoiding backscatter,
eliminating shadowing effects and photographing in deep water, an accessory slave flash is
recommended. For further information, please refer to the section "External Flashes".
2. In order to make use of the built-in camera flash, remove the Fiber Optic Cable Plate from the
housing. Insert your fingers beneath the adaptors installed inside the plate and push the plate
upwards till it is removed from its slot. Make sure the fiber optic cable plate is secured to the
housing by the dedicated secure line in order to avoid losing it during the dive.
3. The removable flash diffuser included assists with
softening the built-in flash output, increasing its
angle of coverage and decreasing the amount of
backscatter in the images (the unattractive
snowstorm effect of the flash reflecting off
suspended particles in the water).
a. In order to install the flash diffuser, hold and
align it against the housing lens port so the
concave side of the flash diffuser is facing
the lens port (Image #14).
b. Gently push the flash diffuser against the
housing lens port till it clicks.
