- Camera's Built-in Flash

- 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. Use the AutoFlash AF35 for easy automatic exposure. Or add an optional DS Substrobe with EV Manual Controller for more power and wider angle of coverage.
Â
Â
Â
- 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 the attachment of external wide angle and macro lenses:
Attach 46mm threaded #6420.46 Ikelite W-20 and other lenses directly to the front of the housing port (recommended).
Attach 67mm threaded #6420 Ikelite W-20, Inon Type II, and Epoque lenses using the #9306.81 Port Adapter. This adapter can also be used to attach 67mm threaded macro lenses.

-
Vignetting (shading in the corners) will be present when using the camera's widest setting with an external wide angle lens is attached. This can be eliminated by zooming in slightly.
