USING THE FANTASEA FL‐22 HOUSING
OPENING THE HOUSING
1. Release all four latches at the same time, and lift off the back half to open the housing.
INSERTING CAMERA
Since the Fantasea FL‐22 is specifically designed for the Coolpix L22 digital camera, inserting the camera
into the housing is quite simple.
1. Mount the camera on the removable tray, using the mounting tripod screw.
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 establish a proper 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
1. It is recommended to make some camera settings prior to
inserting camera into the housing. Please refer to the Coolpix
owner's manual for menu options and personal preferences.
2. Take a few test shots: it is recommended to turn the camera
"on" and program to “Flash Always” mode before inserting it
into the housing and then take test shots to make sure all
systems are working.
Note
It is strongly recommended to take the first dive without the camera
inside the housing. You should check that the watertight seal has not
been affected during transport and long periods of storage.
