Ikelite 6147.89 Canon Powershot SD890 IS / IXUS 970 IS underwater camera housing

Housing for Canon Powershot SD890 IS & IXUS 970 IS Digital Cameras The Ikelite compact digital housing is molded of corrosion free, virtually indestructible clear polycarbonate. An unobstructed view of the main o-ring provides assurance that the case is sealed properly. Its heavy duty walls allow it to operate safely to 200ft (60m).

All functions of the camera are accessible through the housing except the print button. A flash diffuser is included to aid in improving lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used to illuminate subjects underwater.

Optional wide-angle lens adapters are not recommended for this model. Lens throw prevents effective use of external wide-angle lenses.

Removable external color filters #6441.32 for tropical blue water and #6441.72 for green water settings provide color correction in sunny conditions up to approximately 80ft (24m). For use without a flash. Filters sold separately.

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.
