Ikelite 6231.36 Housing f/ Olympus FE360, X875, C570, FE20, X15 & C25

This Ikelite ultra compact housing is designed for the Olympus FE360, X875, C570, FE20, X15 and C25 digital cameras. It 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'. Easy open latch along with drop in camera loading makes set-up a breeze. The housing is sized and weighted for near neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater.

A flash diffuser is included to improve lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used underwater. A portion of the camera's flash may be blocked by the lens port of the housing, resulting in a dark shaded area in the photo. For optimum lighting underwater an optional external strobe 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 reduces the illumination of particles in the water which helps eliminate backscatter.

Color filters can be used to correct the color when shooting available light photography. Use 6441.32 for tropical blue water and 6441.72 for green water. Filters are effective in shallow, sunny conditions depending on water clarity. Make sure all strobes are turned off when using filters.

The port accepts the 46mm threads of a wide-angle conversion lens directly. You can use adapter 9306.81 for wide-angle conversion lenses with a 67mm thread. The Inon UWL-105AD bayonet style lens can be used with adapter 9306.80. 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.
