2. Power On/Off

To turn on the camera, press the power switch. The start-up image will display on the LCD monitor. To turn off the camera, press the power switch again.

3.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.

4.Lens Port

The housing lens port features a 46mm thread and is compatible with a wide variety of accessory filters and lenses. Please refer to the “Lens Accessories" section for useful information.

5.Buckles to Secure Housing

The housing features 4 stainless steel buckles which ensure the housing is properly closed and watertight sealed. Please refer to the "Using the Fantasea FA-490/495 Housing" section for further information regarding opening and closing the camera housing.
