Removing The Camera From The Housing; Using The Camera Built-In Flash - Fantasea Line FRX100 IV Instruction Manual

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. 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.
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 III and RX100 IV have 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 and align the diffuser ring
against the housing lens port with the
diffuser pointed horizontally
(image #18).
b. Gently push the diffuser ring against the
housing lens port till it clicks.
c. Once the diffuser ring has been
installed on the lens port, turn the ring
till the diffuser is positioned on top of
the lens port. When reaching the
proper position, the diffuser ring clicks once more.
d. 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.
