Welcome to the exciting world of underwater digital SLR photography. Your purchase of

handle and will have countless dives in which to experiment with the D-70's advanced

70N , which should get you comfortable with the housing and allow you to get started

taking great underwater images right away. We strongly urge you to thoroughly read the

Nikon D-70 instruction manual as well, to familiarize yourself with the most common

controls and settings that you will use for your underwater photography. The FD-70N

housing will permit access to most of the important controls on the camera. To take full

advantage of these features, it is best to have a good command of what each option can

do for you, so you will know when you should use each specific control.

Camera Model

The FD-70N is dedicated exclusively to the Nikon D-70 camera. The size and shape of

the camera, plus the location of controls for alignment with housing controls requires this

precision design. Together, the D-70 camera and FD-70N housing offer the best

combination of advanced digital photography at an affordable price. No other camera

may be used in the FD-70N housing.

A Variety of Uses

The Fantasea FD-70N housing is more than just an underwater camera system. It protects

the D-70 against damage from such environmental conditions as rain, snow, dust, sand,

and dirt. It is perfect protection for active outdoor sports, where these elements would

normally not allow an advanced camera like the D-70 to be used without danger of

damage. The lightweight, compact housing and handles make it easy to hold and use

while sailing, fishing, kayaking, backpacking, or just for fun at the beach or around the

pool. It will also provide a valuable tool for many commercial, industrial, and medical

applications, because it is impervious to most liquids, and sprays.
