This Ikelite housing for the Canon Digital Rebel XTi (400D) allows eTTL2 operation with Ikelite Digital SubStrobes when connected to the housing's bulkhead by a sync cord. The TTL mode provides four half f/stop increments over or under flash compensation to fine-tune exposure. Eight manual power settings in half-stop increments allow for complete creative control. All this is controlled by pushing a button on the back of the housing.
The housing is rated to a depth of 200' (60 m). The auto exposure lock and focus lock are placed where they can be activated with your thumb while taking a picture. Camera installation is quick and simple and the o-ring seal can be checked visually through the clear housing.
The release handle system allows for easy attachment and removal of SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. Two screws remove the handle and tray assembly for traveling. The housing is sized and weighted for near neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater.
An assortment of interchangeable lens ports allows use of most macro, wide angle, and zoom lenses. The Ikelite Super-Eye magnifier provided with the housing secures to the camera eyepiece and offers enhanced viewing while wearing a diving mask.
Note: Requires Lens Port, to match specific lens on SLR camera. Please also note that zoom lenses require addition of a Close-Up #4 diopter filter on the lens.

Comments about Ikelite #6871.40 eTTL2 Underwater Housing for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi (400D) - Rated up to 200':
the gear mechanism for zoom lenses is a cheap plastic part that is very difficult to assemble. I ended up flooding my camera. recommended for fixed lenses only.
