Ikelite Underwater Camera Housing

The first camera that I used in this housing flooded due to debris on the o-ring which was my fault. The second camera has remained dry but several of the buttons on the back of the housing do not activate the intended controls on the camera(Up and Left). These buttons haven't worked with either camera. I don't know if it is a design flaw or a manufacturing defect in the housing. I will contact Ikelite in the near future and update this review accordingly. I can't give a recommendation yet except to say that the construction is sturdy and the company has a good reputation so I remain hopeful.

Dive into underwater photography with this incredibly compact and simple to use combination. The ULTRAcompact housing is high quality, built to last, and backed by Ikelite's long-standing reputation for excellence.

All camera controls are fully functional through the housing and depth rated to 200ft (60m). Easy open latch and drop in camera loading make set-up a breeze.

Camera's Built-in Flash.
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective between1-3 feet (0.3-0.9m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results an external underwater strobe is recommended.

External Color Filters.
Color filters replace some of the reds, oranges and more natural tones that would otherwise be lost underwater. Effective in relatively shallow, sunny conditions. Available as #6441.32 for tropical blue water and #6441.72 for use in green water settings.

External Underwater Strobes.
Ikelite strobes are much more powerful, recycle more quickly, and eliminate more backscatter than the camera's built-in flash. Don't settle for flat, blue-green images. The AutoFlash AF35 (pictured at right) is an easy and affordable way to add a strobe to your system. The AF35 is effective up to approximately 5 feet (1.5m) from the subject and restores the colors that are otherwise lost. For the best results in all conditions.

Pro-V8 LED Video Lite.
For additional lighting when using the camera's movie mode. For use with or without a color filter.

External Accessory Lenses.
An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of coverage so you can get much closer to your subject while still fitting everything in the frame. By reducing the amount of water between the subject and your camera lens, the resulting image will be more crisp and colorful. Several options are available for attaching an external wide angle or macro lens:
• Attach 46mm threaded #6420.46 Ikelite W-20 and other lenses directly to the front of the housing port.
• Attach Bayonet style Inon UWL-100 28AD, UWL-105AD and UFL-165AD lenses using the #9306.79 port adapter.

Vignetting (shading in the corners) will be present in the widest setting when using an external accessory lens. This can be eliminated by zooming in slightly
