Housing for Sony DSC-W80 & W90 Digital Cameras
Molded of corrosion-free polycarbonate, this virtually indestructible heavy duty thick wall housing operates safely at depths up to 200 feet (60 meters).
All functions of the camera except for the "Home" button are accessible through the housing. A flash diffuser is included to aid in improving lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used to illuminate subjects underwater. A flash deflector is also included for use with an external strobe.
Optional color filters #6441.32 for tropical blue water and #6441.72 for green water settings provide color correction and more natural tones in sunny conditions up to 80 feet (24 meters). Either filter can be easily removed and replaced underwater. For use without a flash.
For optimum lighting underwater an optional external strobe (flash) is recommended. Ikelite strobes are brighter, recycle faster and offer wider coverage than the camera's flash. Being farther from the camera lens, the strobe aids in reducing the illumination of particles in the water which helps to eliminate backscatter.
Complete strobe systems are available for either automatic or manual exposure. Click here or on the link at the bottom of the page for information on recommended strobe systems.
Optional wide-angle lens adapters:
#9306.80 allows attaching and removing the Inon UWL-105AD bayonet style lenses underwater.
#9306.81 allows attaching and removing the 67mm threaded #6420 Ikelite, Epoque, and Inon UWL-100 conversion lense
