Sea & Sea Canon T2i housing product video
Description:
- Features a Optical Viewfinder 0.5x that makes it easy to see the whole field of view. An optional exchangeable viewfinder can be selected as well.
- New lineup of ports includes the RDX Standard Port (for most standard zoom lenses), the RDX Port Base L (for joint use with NX-series ports) and the RDX Port Base S (for joint use with compact macro ports). Using the appropriate port base, you can use any type of existing NX ports, expanding the range of lenses that can be used.
- A new type of easily operated shutter lever, excellent for taking quick snapshots. The shutter lever can be operated in two ways—by pushing from the top or pulling from the front—and offers an option for adjusting the autofocus by pressing the button halfway down so you need not worry about any missed chances.
- Large buckle structure (with lock function). Makes it easier to open and close the back cover than existing (metal) locking latches.
- Up to two external strobes can be mounted.
- When using the optional Grip-Stay L, you can hold the camera firmly with both hands just as you can with conventional housings.
- Strong and durable build, with a depth rating of up to 60m / 200ft.
- The housing becomes compatible with EOS REBEL T1i/EOS 500D and REBEL XSi/450D by replacing the rubber button (accessory).
- When the EOS REBEL Xsi/EOS 450D camera is mounted, the accessory rubber tip included with the housing is required.
- The Live view/Movie button on the RDX-550D functions as the WB button on the EOS REBEL Xsi/EOS 450D camera.
- The White balance button on the RDX-550D functions as the metering mode button on the EOS REBEL Xsi/EOS 450D camera.
- As the ISO adjustment is impossible in the housing, set the ISO to 200 before mounting the camera in the housing (when ISO is set to Auto, DS-TTL may not provide accurate and stable DS-TTL light emmision.)
