Instruction Manual

2. When opening the housing, it is important to hold it so the lens port is facing down. This will

prevent the camera from slipping out of the housing while being opened.

3. Open the housing as described in the section “Opening the Housing”, pull up the mode control

and carefully remove the camera from the housing. Take sufficient care that no water drips from

your hair and body onto the housing and camera.

USING THE BUILT-IN CAMERA FLASH

1. The Coolpix P7100 has a built-in flash capable of illuminating nearby underwater subjects. For

stronger lighting, illuminating subjects that are farther away, avoiding backscatter, eliminating

shadowing effects and photographing in deep water, an accessory slave flash is recommended. For

further information, please refer to the section “External Flashes”.

2. In order to make use of the built-in camera flash, remove the Fiber Optic Cable Plate from the

housing. Insert your fingers beneath the adaptors installed inside the plate and push the plate

upwards till it is removed from its slot. Make sure the fiber optic cable plate is secured to the

housing by the dedicated secure line in order to avoid losing it during the dive.

3. The removable flash diffuser included assists with softening the built-in flash output, increasing its

angle of coverage and decreasing the amount of backscatter in the images (the unattractive

snowstorm affect of the flash reflecting off suspended particles in the water).

a. In order to install the removable flash

diffuser, hold and align it against the

housing lens port so the concave side of the

flash diffuser is facing the lens port (image

#14).

b. Gently push the removable flash diffuser

against the housing lens port till it clicks.

c. Attach the flash diffuser quick release

secure string to the other side of the string

connected to the housing in order to avoid

losing the flash diffuser underwater.

d. In order to remove the flash diffuser from

the housing, gently push it outwards starting from its top and proceeding with the bottom

part of it.
