Here is some great advice on the best settings for the Sony A7R V while shooting underwater while shooting underwater.

 

Key Features:

  • Controls and Setup - Ergonomics and ease of use is one of the most important aspect in an underwater housing that we need to consider. With a housing that has excellent ergonomics and controls, it would allow you to concentrate more on your composition, focus and exposure. The Ikelite Sony A7 IV, A7R V Underwater Housing provides superb erogonomics and operation is a breeze. Large and curved control levers - shutter and autofocus (via the AF-ON button) are located right where you need them. This combination allows you to shoot with or without back button focus, an advanced technique that is useful for tack sharp focus of super macro and fast moving subjects. Each lever can be extended using the optional Trigger Extension for perfect spacing when using a right-hand handle. The rotating controls are all operated intuitively via premium soft-touch knobs. An oversized, lobed knob puts the zoom/focus knob at your fingertips while your left hand stays on the handle. Stainless steel, direct-drive rotating controls are virtually fail-safe and user serviceable and adjustable in a pinch. All rear camera buttons are accessible by smooth action, hard anodized aluminum push buttons for reliable performance and easy maintenance. These controls are clearly labeled by laser engraving on the back of the housing that never fades or falls off.
  • TTL Exposure - The housing supports your choice of shooting with manual strobe exposure or adding a TTL converter depending on your application. The flash bulkhead is located on the top of the case to alleviate strain on the sync cord. You can enjoy the fast and accurate TTL exposure by adding the Ikelite DL2 DS Link Sony TTL Converter with ST1 Hotshoe Kit and a compatible Ikelite DS strobe. Exposure compensation can be used added or subtracted in the camera.
  • Viewfinder - The housing already comes with the SuperEye Viewfinder which enhances the view of the cameras EVF. This can easily be replaces with the Ikelite Straight 180° Viewfinder or Ikelite 45° Viewfinder.
  • Vacuum System - The included vacuum valve allows you to vacuum test the housing to check for leaks prior to putting your expensive equipment in the water. Combined with a full view of the camera and o-ring seal through the back of the housing, there is no greater assurance that your gear will be safe. Our signature open-groove design suspends the rear o-ring in a natural position that is easier to maintain and more reliable than forcing the o-ring into a channel. Use of the vacuum valve requires a compatible Vacuum Pump with Gauge # 47011, sold separately.
  • Ports - The Ikelite Sony A7R IV, Sony A7R V Underwater Housing uses the new Dry Lock Port system, which was designed to be robust and easy to assemble. It is built for reliable performance in the most remote of locations, meaning that their are no complex moving parts that may break and jeopardize your shoot. The new DL series ports are lighter and more adaptable than the original "Four Lock" port counterparts. They accommodate popular large diameter, full-frame lenses with ease. If you're considering shooting professional quality lenses like the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L III, then the DL system is essential. Most popular zoom lenses and select lens focus rings can be engaged using a simple yet effective gearing system that puts adjustment right at your fingertips. A large, soft-touch lobed knob on the side of the housing makes fine tuned adjustments a breeze. Zoom and focus gears differ depending on which lens you are using. All are lightweight and affordable. Refer to the DL System Port Chart for Sony Alpha Series to choose the correct gear. Zoom gears sold separately.
  • Bulkhead Accessory - The housing is equipped with M16 Bulkhead Port for third party accessories such as monitors
  • Strobe Compatiblity - The housing is only compatible with strobes which can be connected with electronic sync cord. Fiber optic only strobes are not compatible with this installation
