USING THE FANTASEA FL-18 HOUSING
OPENING THE HOUSING
1. Release all four latches at the same time, and lift off back half to open housing.
INSERTING CAMERA
Since the Fantasea FL-18 is specifically designed for the Coolpix L15, L16 and L18 digital cameras,
inserting the camera into the housing is quite simple.
1. Mount the camera on the removable tray, using the tripod screw. Please note that there are two
trays included with the housing: one for the L15 and one for the L16 and L18 cameras. Make sure
you mount the camera on the suitable tray, by verifying that the camera model indicated on the
tray is the same camera model you own.
2. Slide the tray and camera into the housing tray slot. Make sure it is completely inserted.
3. Make sure the camera lens is more or less centered in the rounded port area and that the lens does not
distort the round black rubber seat. The housing is designed to have the camera fit in place perfectly,
but if you are not careful, it is possible to put it in at an improper angle and it will then be impossible
to get a good seal or easy closure of the housing.
4. After camera insertion, check that the extended camera lens does not catch or bend the black
rubber seat on the inside of the lens port. It is vital that the lens does not disturb this rubber
seat.
Note!
It is strongly recommended to take the first dive without the camera
inside the housing. You should check that the water tight seal has
not been affected during transport and long periods of storage.
