Fantasea Line FP7000 Housing FAQ’s

1. What was the FP7000 Housing designed for?

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 outdoor and
water sports activities, such as paddle sports, sailing, boating, surfing, fishing, hunting,
backpacking and camping. The FP7000 Housing is shock resistant and protects the camera
from water, sand, dust, frost, impact, as well as other damaging elements and harmful
occurrences.

3. Where can I see videos and images captured by the FP7000 Housing?

A variety of videos, images and reviews can be found on the official FP7000 Housing website

4. How do I operate shutter speed and aperture through the housing in the Manual

shooting mode?

Basically, the absence of a control that manipulates the rotary wheel on the back of the
camera doesn’t prevent you from fully utilizing any of the camera functions. In the Aperture
and Shutter Speed shooting modes, altering aperture or shutter speed is carried out by
simply rotating the command dial on the top right of the camera. In the Manual mode, you
can alter both aperture and shutter speed by using the same command dial. In order to
switch between the function you would like to manipulate (aperture or shutter speed),
simply push the AV/TV button. This will allow you to control both aperture and shutter speed
in the manual mode.

5. How do I deactivate the camera’s built-in flash through the housing after it has

popped up?

Once the built-in camera flash has been popped up, it cannot be pushed back down
physically through the housing. Therefore, in case you need to eliminate the flash during
the dive after it has been popped up, follow the steps below:

a. Enter any of the manual shooting modes (M, A, S, P, U1, U2 or U3).

b. Push the menu control.

c. Using multi-selector controls, enter the Shooting Menu.

d. Using the “down” multi-selector control, scroll down till you have reached the
Flash Control item. Push the OK control.

e. Scroll down to “Off” and push the OK control again to make the selection.

f. In order to reactivate the built-in camera flash, repeat steps a-d and then select
“Auto”. Push the OK control again to make the selection.

6. In the absence of external flashes, how can I make the best out of the P7000’s

built-in flash?

First, you should take into consideration that the camera’s built-in flash is mainly useful in
macro and close-up compositions, as it isn’t powerful enough for most wide angle
compositions, where an external strobe is recommended.
When shooting macro with the camera’s internal flash, it makes a HUGE difference when the
diffuser is installed on the housing. Without the diffuser, you will find a significant shadowing
effect caused by the housing lens port blocking the camera internal flash. Using the diffuser
dramatically reduces this shadowing effect.

7. What accessories are available for the FP7000 Housing?

 Optic Accessories:
