Ikelite Underwater Camera Housing for Nikon Coolpix S550 Digital Camera

Ikelite ULTRAcompact digital housings for Nikon digital still cameras really deliver when performance and durability matter. 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.

Housings measure 6" (15.2cm) wide; 4.4" (11cm) high including controls; 3.4" (8.6cm) deep including port. Camera and housing together weigh under 1.5 lbs (0.66kg) above water and are nearly neutral underwater.

Includes a 1cc tube of silicone lubricant, vinyl lanyard, flash diffuser, and flash deflector.

Camera's Built-in Flash. An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A portion ofthe camera's flash may be blocked by the lens port of the housing when shooting close up, resulting in a dark shaded area in the photo. For best results an external underwater strobe is recommended.

External Color Filters. Replace some of the reds and more natural tones that would otherwise be lost. Available as #6441.32 for tropical blue water and #6441.72 for green water. Filters are effective in shallow, sunny conditions depending on water clarity.

External Underwater Strobes. Positioning a flash farther from the camera's lens and at an angle reduces the illumination of particles in the water. Ikelite strobes provide much more power and a wider angle of coverage than the camera's built-in flash. Quick recycle times mean that they are always ready for the next shot. Available in several affordable packages that provide everything you need for the best results in all conditions

Wide Angle Conversion 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. Use of an appropriate Port Adapter is required for the attachment of threaded or bayonet-style wide-angle conversion lenses. Use the #9306.81 Adapter to attach an Ikelite W-20 wide-angle conversion lens or other 67mm threaded accessory lens. Use the #9306.80 Adapter with bayonet-style accessory lenses. The camera lens must be zoomed slightly to avoid vignetting with external wide-angle lenses.
