Opening The Housing:
Using two hands, pinch the Latch Buckle Release Tabs. While holding the tabs in this
position, pull the rounded latch open in a front to back direction. The latch is hinged
on the front half of the clamshell. Pulling the latch toward the rear of the housing will
unclip the latching buckle and allow it to swing free--for opening.
Inserting Camera:
Since the
Fantasea FP-1
was specifically designed for the Coolpix P1 and P2 digital
cameras, insertion is a simple matter of placing the camera in the housing. Make sure
the camera lens is properly aligned with the port and that the camera sits perfectly

camera is properly inserted.
Underwater photographers will probably want to set the flash mode to the

before inserting into housing.

the cloth you use does not leave any of its own material behind as this can also affect
the effectiveness of the gasket. It is not necessary to remove the gasket for cleaning
unless visual inspection determines that there is foreign matter underneath the gasket
as well. If this occurs, be sure the surface of the housing is also clean and wiped free
of any debris.
Checking the Gasket:
Each Prior to each closure of the housing the gasket seal should be visually inspected.
If there is any debris present, including dirt, sand, dust, hair, grease or other matter,
