Exposure compensation in TTL mode is supported using the camera's built-in control. The circuit is powered by the strobe for zero maintenance and no batteries to change. For the best results, we recommend adding an external flash or high-powered constant-on light if you'll be diving regularly below 15' (3m).Īn integrated TTL circuit is fine-tuned to the Canon EOS 250D Rebel S元 flash exposure protocol for the most accurate exposure possible. To preserve the natural colors of your subject, it's important to stay within arm's reach-no more than 3-4 feet (1m) away. Light is absorbed as it travels through even short distances underwater, making colors appear dull or monochromatic. Drawing a vacuum on the system also provides extra security at the surface of the water, especially important when using the housing in rough surf. A vacuum kit allows you to draw a vacuum on the housing to check for proper assembly prior to entering the water. Vacuum TestingĪ spare 1/2-20 threaded accessory port is provided on the side of the housing for easily installation of the optional vacuum kit.
The clear back allows you to see the o-ring form a solid, watertight seal as it closes. Two double-passivated stainless steel locking lid snaps are simple to use and virtually unbreakable. We have eliminated the need for an o-ring groove or channel which can trap sand, dirt, or debris.
The unique rear seal design prevents accidental twisting or stretching of the o-ring for simple and confident assembly. The mounting plate features a 1/4-20 threaded mount on the bottom so that it can be attached to a tripod on the surface. The camera mounting plate does not need to be removed from the camera for surface use or when changing the battery or memory cards. A small mounting plate attaches to the bottom of the camera and secures in the front of the housing. The camera mount is front-loading for easy installation and removal. Handles provide improved ergonomics underwater and are the foundation for your lighting mounts. Two 1/4-20 threaded mounting points are included on the bottom of the housing for the attachment of a tray and handle system. These controls are clearly labeled by laser engraving on the back of the housing that never fades or falls off. Stainless steel, direct-drive rotating controls are virtually fail-safe and user serviceable and adjustable in a pinch.Īll rear camera buttons are accessible by smooth action, hard anodized aluminum push buttons for reliable performance and easy maintenance. Soft-touch control knobs add comfort and extra grip to the most commonly used functions. The shutter lever has been updated to a more sensitive and natural feeling curved design.
This powerful compact housing includes all of Ikelites latest upgrades to controls and ergonomics.
