CAMERA POWER SAVING
You can access the camera's menu to select different power saving options. In order to do this, enter the
Setup Menu, select Power Saving, activate the “Auto Power Down” function and select the inactivity period
before the LCD turns off. It is recommended that the inactivity time selected is quite short, in order to
conserve battery power. If set for longer periods of time, the LCD screen will heat up and it will produce
condensation and fogging of the lens port. Condensation on the lens port will have a negative impact on the
quality of the images taken.
Once the LCD screen turns off, when you want to resume shooting, pressing any button apart from the
power button will turn on the LCD screen again. If the inactivity period was long enough to turn the
camera off, you can turn it back on by pressing the On / Off Power button. The Welcome Screen will
appear and then it will display the last image taken.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
The Fantasea FA-480 housing requires only a minimum amount of care for reliable performance. The
following tips will enable you to get the best results.
1. Always rinse your housing with a strong stream of fresh water and if possible soak the
housing in a fresh water tub or rinse tank for about 20 minutes after every dive in order to
dissolve the salt water crystals from around the controls and openings of the housing.
Manipulate each of the movable controls to assist the removal of salt particles from these tight
areas.
2. Allow the housing to dry thoroughly before packing away for the day or for the trip home.
You may use a soft towel or cloth to dry the housing. Be sure there is no grease or other debris
on the towel.
3. Visually check the condition of the O-ring before every dive. If it is dirty, clean it with fresh
water and dry it with a soft cloth as described above. If it is damaged in any way, such as cut
or perforated, replace it before using the housing again.
4. It is recommended to slightly lubricate the housing's O-ring periodically. It's important to note
that the amount of lubrication required on the O-ring is only enough to allow it to slip into
place without friction, so it does not twist or become dislodged. More grease is not better, and
