Features:

• True TTL Exposure - The housing supports the Ikelite DL3 DS Link TTL Converter for a fast and accurate TTL exposure.
• Strobe Connection - The housing supports both electronic sync cord or fiber optic cable via TTL converter.
• Built-In Flash - The camera's built-in flash may be used to trigger external fiber optic strobes. 
• Constant On Lighting - A bright constant-on video light can be used instead of or in addition to a flash. A constant-on light is not as bright as a strobe flash. Constant-on lights do provide added versatility because they can be used for focus assist and for improved colors when shooting video.
• Superb Ergonomics - A trigger-type shutter lever control is designed for optimal sensitivity and a natural motion when shooting underwater. The standard control hugs the side of the housing for easy accessibility when not using a tray. Soft-touch knobs are easy to grip even with  gloves on and provide quick access to important controls including front and rear dials and the mode control. Hard anodized aluminum push buttons makes it resistant to salt build-up and corrosion. Laser engraved control symbols are very visible and will never fade or fall off.
• Camera Installation - The camera mount is front-loading for easy installation and removal. A small mounting plate attaches to the bottom of the camera and secures in the front of the housing. The camera mounting plate does not need to be removed when changing the battery or memory cards.
