Olympus E-510 & E-520 Digital SLR Cameras Housing
Introducing a full-featured and affordable underwater housing for the Olympus E-510 & E-520* Digital SLR Cameras. The compact, clear polycarbonate case provides visibility of its o-ring seals and corrosion-free performance up to a depth of 200ft (60m). Controls are provided for every camera function and kept water-tight with Ikelite pioneered Quad-Ring seal glands--proven to be the most reliable method of sealing controls.
A full range of dome and flat ports is available to accommodate most macro, wide-angle and zoom lenses. Port attachment is quick and easy with a simple locking system and clear view of the port o-ring seal. Lens port not included. A large zoom control knob can be comfortably reached without removing your hand from the handle.
The Ikelite Super-Eye magnifier comes standard and offers enhanced visibility of the camera's viewfinder while wearing a diving mask. The camera's live-preview feature can also be used to its full potential with an unobstructed view through the back of the housing.
The housing size and weight provide near-neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater. The included tray with quick release handles allows convenient attachment and removal of Substrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. The handle assembly itself detaches with the removal of just two screws for traveling. Addition of the #9571.3 1" (2.5 cm) ball at release handle provides an attachment point for most non-Ikelite arm systems.
The housing also features the Ikelite TTL bulkhead--an industry favorite for the reliable connection of external substrobes. Right-angle positioning relieves strain on the optional sync cord even when the housing is laid on its back.
Built-in conversion circuitry for true Olympus TTL puts perfect exposure at your fingertips. The TTL mode provides four 1/3 f/stop increments over or under flash compensation that is added to or subtracted from any compensation entered into the camera. Seven manual power settings in half-stop increments allow for complete creative control. All choices are obtained by simply rotating a knob on the housing back.
The special TTL conversion circuitry operates perfectly with current model Ikelite DS digital SubStrobes. See strobe requirements by serial number.
Other strobes can be used, but they cannot provide TTL or be manually controlled through the housing back. Mount and sync cords for Nikonos strobes and special sync cords for Inon or Sea & Sea strobes are available.
