Camera Model
The FD-40X is dedicated exclusively to the Nikon D40, D40x and D60 cameras. The size and shape of the
camera, plus the location of controls for alignment with housing controls requires this precision design.
Together, the D40/D40x/D60 camera and FD-40X housing offer the best combination of advanced digital
photography at an affordable price. No other cameras should be used in the FD-40X housing.
A Variety of Uses
The Fantasea FD-40X housing is more than just an underwater camera system. It protects the camera
against damage from such environmental conditions as rain, snow, dust, sand, and dirt. It is perfect
protection for active outdoor sports, where these elements would normally not allow an advanced camera
like the D40/D40x/D60 to be used without danger of damage. The lightweight, compact housing and
handles make it easy to hold and use while sailing, fishing, kayaking, backpacking, or just for fun at the
beach or around the pool. It will also provide a valuable tool for many commercial, industrial, and medical
applications, because it is impervious to most liquids, and sprays.
