The Olympus E-330 is the world's first digital SLR to offer "Live" viewing through its 2.5" color LCD screen. The housing's clear back provides a full view of the screen making it easier to compose and capture the perfect shot. For traditional viewing of the subject thru the camera's eyepiece, the Ikelite Super-Eye magnifier provided with the housing offers enhanced viewing while wearing a diving mask.
The housing comes standard with conversion circuitry that provides Olympus TTL compatibility with current model Ikelite DS Substrobes. See strobe requirements by serial number. A Flash Compensation Module allows the TTL circuitry to provide two f-stops ofover and under exposure compensation in half-stop increments for added control over TTL exposures. It's easily to switch from TTL tothe Manual Exposure Mode, which provides eight power settings. All exposure compensation is done on the back of the housing - which means no more messing with complicated camera menus.
A wide selection of interchangeable ports allow the use of most macro, wide-angle, and zoom lenses. The port system's locking mechanism presents easy port installation and removal, plus visual assurance the port is secure and properly sealed. The housing's size and weight provides neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater. Camera installation is quick and simple. The dependable controls are conveniently placed at your fingertips, and kept water tight with Ikelite pioneered Quad-RingŪ seal glands, proven to be the most reliable method for sealing controls. The housing's main back o-ring seal is a masterpiece in fail-safe simplicity. Whenclosing the latches, you can see that the o-ring is sealed and the locking latches prevent accidental opening of the housing.
Other manufacturers' strobes can be used in their manual mode, but they will not provide TTL functions or interact with the Compensation Module. Ikelite offers mounts and sync cords for Nikonos strobes and sync cords for Inon or Sea&Sea strobes.
