Removable Flash Diffuser
The Flash Diffuser is used to diffuse the internal flash's intensity. There are two different diffusers
included with the FA-490/495 Housing:
Transparent diffuser - this diffuser allows for a large amount of light to illuminate your subject,
but doesn't reduce the shadowing effect when photographing from a short distance. Therefore,
install this diffuser on the housing when taking wide angle shots and when the subject is
positioned within a relatively far distance from the lens.
White diffuser - this diffuser reduces the shadowing effect when photographing from a short
distance, but allows for a relatively small amount of light to illuminate your subject. Therefore,
install this diffuser on the housing when taking macro shots and when the subject is positioned
within a close distance from the lens.
Please refer to the "Accessory Slave Flashes" section for additional information.

filters and lenses. Please refer to the “Lens Accessories" section for useful information.

watertight sealed. Please refer to the "Using the Fantasea FA-490/495 Housing" section for further
