Using The Camera Built-In Flash - Fantasea Line FRX100 VI Instruction Manual

3. 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 Sony RX100 VI 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 removable flash diffuser,
hold the diffuser above the housing lens port
with the diffuser pointing upwards (image #14).
b. Gently push the diffuser ring downwards and
against the housing lens port until it clicks
(image #15).
c. Attach the flash diffuser quick release secure
string to the other side of the string connected
to the housing in order to avoid losing the flash
diffuser underwater.
d. In order to remove the flash diffuser from
the housing, gently pull it upwards and away
from the lens port until it snaps out of place.
e. During the dive, in order to disable the flash
diffuser, the diffuser can be turned clockwise
around the lens port until it reaches a
horizontal position and clicks (image #16 on
the following page). This rest-point of the
diffuser eliminates the need to completely
remove it from the housing during the dive.
