Orient the diffuser or deflector as shown.

 

»

A small hole in the corner of the flash deflector allows it to be 
attached to your system using a thin string (not included). It is 
recommended to attach the flash deflector to your system to 
avoid accidental loss. 

Using the Flash Diffuser

Install the semi-transparent diffuser when using the camera’s built-
in flash. A portion of the camera’s built-in flash may be blocked by 
the housing’s lens port. The diffuser spreads the light of the flash to 
reduce any effects on the image.
It may be necessary to zoom in when shooting close-up photos to 
completely eliminate any darkened areas.

Using the Flash Deflector

Install the opaque white flash deflector when using external strobes. 
The flash deflector improves transmission of light to the fiber optic 
ports and reduces unwanted backscatter (the illumination of particles 
in the water).
