GENERAL INFORMATION:
THE FANTASEA FL-10 HOUSING:
Fantasea has specially designed the FL-10 housing for the Nikon Coolpix L10 camera. This housing is ideal for outdoor and underwater photographers who enjoy the camera's automatic exposure features for capturing fast action pictures easily and creatively. The FL-10 housing insures easy handling and accurate access to camera functions through the critical placement of push-button controls and a compact design. The FL-10 housing provides all essential control functions: On/Off, Shutter Release, Zoom In/Out, Menu, Flash, Exposure Compensation, Timer, Macro, Playback, Delete and Mode Selector and has a built in Flash Diffuser and an anti-glare hood over the LCD screen.
FANTASEA FL-10 USES:
The Fantasea FL-10 housing is designed as an underwater/outdoor camera housing. It features double O-ring on all controls, and has a working depth of 200 feet/60 meters. Underwater photographers can dive or snorkel and capture all the excitement of this fascinating world, while outdoor photographers also have the option of capturing the action of such activities as white water and paddle sports, swimming, sailing and boating, surfing, fishing and hunting, backpacking and camping. The Fantasea FL-10 will protect the Coolpix L10 camera from water, sand, dust, and other damaging elements.
