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.
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.
