This Ikelite housing for the Canon PowerShot A550 digital camera
is an injection molded clear polycarbonate case, known for its strength
and corrosion-free properties. The housing offers an unobstructed view
of the camera's information and control functions and operates safely
to a depth of 200'. Camera installation is quick and simple, and the
o-ring seal can be checked visually through the clear housing. The
housing is sized and weighted for near neutral buoyancy and superb
handling underwater.
The camera's flash can be used to take
underwater photos, but an external strobe is recommended to improve the
images by reducing the illumination of particles suspended in the
water. You could use an Ikelite Digital SubStrobe with the Ikelite
Manual Controller. The Manual Controller provides 10 power settings in
half-stop increments. The optional Release Handle system allows for
easy attachment and removal of the SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch
of a button.
The port accepts the 67mm threads of a wide-angle
conversion lens. The use of a wide-angle lens allows you to get closer
to your subject. This eliminates water between you and your subject,
increasing contrast and improving color. The wide angle conversion lens
can be attached and removed when underwater.
