Ikelite Underwater Housing for Nikon COOLPIX S9900 Camera

Dive into underwater photography with this compact yet sophisticated system!

Construction
Durable polycarbonate and acrylic construction provides a unique view of the camera to ensure correct waterproof installation and confidence underwater. Simply close the two stainless steel locking lid snaps and see the o-ring form a solid black, watertight seal. Large, ergonomic controls provide access to all important camera functions. New bottom tray mounts allow for easy and secure attachment of external trays with universal 1/4-20 hardware, sold separately. Ikelite products are designed, built and tested in the USA. They use locally sourced, top-grade materials. Ikelite housings are built by hand and individually tested for fit, function and waterproof integrity. They back their products with over 50 years of experience and service within the dive industry.

Flash
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective between 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results a color correcting filter or external lighting is recommended. External lighting is more powerful and can be placed in a position to virtually eliminate the backscatter - or "snow" - from your underwater images. The optional AF35 strobe triggers and provides automatic TTL exposure by watching the camera's built-in flash, without the need of fiber optic cords or sensors. Alternatively, two ports are provided for the connection of up to two Ikelite-, SEA&SEA- or Olympus-type fiber optic cords.

Wide Angle, Macro + Filters
The housing port is designed to accept color filter, wide angle and macro options for 3.9-inch diameter ports. Light is absorbed very quickly as it passes through water. A subject will look darker, less colorful and somewhat grainy when viewed through even a few feet of water. The addition of a compatible wide angle accessory expands the camera's field of view underwater, providing the opportunity to get as close as possible to the subject and reduce the amount of water light passes through. The results speak for themselves - photos with the best color, exposure and clarity possible.
