GENERAL INFORMATION
The Fantasea FS-210 Housing
Fantasea has specially designed the FS-210 housing for the Nikon Coolpix S210 camera. This housing is ideal for outdoor and underwater photographers who enjoy the cameras automatic exposure features for capturing fast action pictures easily and creatively. The FS-210 housing ensures easy handling and accurate access to camera functions through the critical placement of push-button controls and a compact design. The FS-210 housing provides access to all control functions: On/Off, Shutter Release, Mode, Zoom In/Out, Menu, Flash, Exposure Compensation, Timer, Macro, Playback and Delete, and has a built in Flash Diffuser and an anti-glare hood over the LCD screen.
Fantasea FS-210 Uses
The Fantasea FS-210 housing is designed as an underwater/outdoor camera housing. It features double O-rings 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 FS-210 will protect the Coolpix S210 camera from water, sand, dust, and other damaging elements.
