Lens Accessories:
The Fantasea FP-4 is designed to work with some of the wide-
angle and macro adapters that are currently on the market. Fantasea
Line offers a macro/wide angle converter lens adapter for this
purpose. The converter lens can be used with one of its two
elements for super macro images, or with both of its elements
for great wide angle images. Red Filters which go over the lens
port or on the converter lens itself are also available. For more
information on these items, see your local photo dealer or visit
our website at www.fantasea.com
Fantasea Coolpix Accessory Systems and Sets:
Fantasea Offers a variety of Coolpix (and other housings) sets
made up of quality accessory products which serve to enhance
and improve your underwater images. Products like external flash
systems, flexible arms, trays, filters, wide angle and macro lenses,
fiber optic cables and more. Below you can see one sample
system. For more information please refer to our website or to
the Fantasea Dealer where you purchased your housing.
If you should use the Coolpix built-in flash as the master, you can
trigger a second slave flash to provide more artificial light when
needed. To do this, you must use an accessory flash that has a slave
feature built in. The flash from the Coolpix must be aimed or bounced
toward the accessory flash's slave sensor, or other fiber optic sensor.
This will trigger the slave to fire in sync with the master flash.
When using an accessory slave flash with fiber optic cable, it is
recommended to black out the internal camera flash. The internal
flash is located near the camera lens and can contribute to backscatter
by illuminating floating particles close to the lens port..
If the sensor of the fiber optic cable is attached to the outside of the
housing directly above the internal flash and taped over with black
tape it will block out the light from the internal flash but transmit
the light pulse to the external slave flash.
Be sure to use a slave flash that has the ability to
ignore the built-in pre-flash in digital cameras,
and synchronizes with the shutter release.
Note!
