This compact digital housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate, it is virtually indestructible with heavy duty walls that allow it to operate safely to 60m (200 feet). All functions of the camera are accessible through the housing except the print button. A flash diffuser is included to aid in improving lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used to illuminate subjects underwater. Removable external color filters #6441.41 for tropical blue water and #6441.81 for green water settings provide color correction in sunny conditions up to approximately 80ft (24m). For use without a flash. Filters sold separately. For optimum lighting underwater an optional external strobe (flash) is recommended. Ikelite strobes are brighter, recycle faster andoffer wider coverage than the camera's flash. Being farther from the camera lens, the strobe aids in reducing the illumination of particles in the water which helps to eliminate backscatter. Complete strobe systems are available for either automatic or manual exposure. The Ikelite W-20 and other 67mm threaded wide-angle conversion lenses from Inon or Epoque attach directly to the front of the housing's port.Wednesday, April 22, 2009
