6. Cold-Shoe Mount for Lighting Accessories, GoPro and other Action Cameras- Enables mounting a
flash, video light, torch, focus light, GoPro and other action cameras on top of the housing by using a
dedicated connector. For further information regarding such connectors, please visit the Fantasea
website – www.fantasea.com
7. Fiber Optic Cable Plate-
a. When installed on the housing, the fiber optic cable plate and the two adaptors inserted
inside it allow for an easy attachment of 2 fiber optic cables to the housing. For further
instructions, please refer to the section "External Flashes".
b. Remove the fiber optic cable plate from the housing in order to make use of the internal
camera flash during your dive. In order to remove the plate, insert your fingers beneath the
adaptors installed inside the plate and pull the plate upward till it is removed from its slot.
Note that when photographing using the camera built-in flash only, the flash diffuser
accessory should be installed, or else unwanted shading will occur in most images taken.
c. Make sure the fiber optic cable plate is secured to the housing by its tether in order to avoid
losing it during the dive.
d. If using only one external flash, make sure the second fiber optic cable adaptor remains in its
place to block any light escaping from the exposed adaptor hole.
8. Flash Up Switch - Rotating this control clockwise (pulling it towards the back of the housing) will pop-
up the camera built-in flash. Note that once the camera built-in flash has been popped up, it can be
disabled again using the Flash / Right control (no. 15) and selecting "flash disabled" on the flash
mode menu. Rotating the Flash Up Switch counterclockwise will not have any effect on the built-in
flash.
9. Control Ring – Rotating this control activates the control ring around the camera lens. Your favorite
functions can be assigned to the control ring and when shooting, established settings can be changed
just by rotating the control ring.
To assign control ring functions:
a. Press the "RING FUNC." button.
b. Browse through the options by using the control dial, multi selector buttons or control ring.
c. Press the "FUNC. SET" button to confirm your selection.
10. Lens Port- The housing lens port is compatible with a wide variety of accessory filters and lenses. For
