Sea & Sea DX-1G, Underwater Digital Camera Islander Package
- Price: $1,849.95
- No Longer Available
The Sea & Sea DX-1G Islander Package features the DX-1G camera. This is actually a kit that includes a Sea & Sea housing that is rated to a depth of 164' (50 m), along with the Sea & Sea DX-1G camera. Since this camera has a shutter lag time of only 0.1 seconds it is well suited for underwater use. Of course, the camera is also ideal for snorkeling, surfing, skiing, fishing, sailing, or even certain industrial situations.
The camera features a large 2.5" TFT liquid crystal monitor. This makes framing underwater easy and fun. Since the camera has manual as well as program exposure modes you have complete control of balancing the available light to strobe light. These features along with exceptional macro capability of a 1/2" make the DX-1G's functionality and performance close to an SLR without the bulk, hassle and weight.
The Sea & Sea DX-1G housing allows access to all camera functions underwater. The camera is part of a system that includes strobes as well as a wide-angle conversion lens. This will nurture your creativity and allow expansion of your underwater photography skills.
The kit includes one Sea & Sea YS-27 flash that was designed specifically for digital cameras. It synchronizes with the included fiber-optic cord for a flood-free connection. Lightweight and compact, this is the perfect strobe for the Sea & Sea DX-1G camera system. This full-featured strobe provides exposure regulation with a nine-step manual control. All you need to do is set your aperture to match the number on the control. If your images are a little too light or dark, just dial the power up or down. The fiber-optic cable transmits light from the camera's built-in flash to the strobe's built-in slave.
The Sea & Sea Sea Arm VII with tray is also included. The Sea Arm VII is constructed of fiberglass-reinforced plastic resin offering a lightweight yet strong arm. With the included components, you can create a custom arm setup for your lighting needs.
The included Sea & Sea Wide Angle Conversion Lens will increase the field of view to a 16mm lens on a 35mm camera. This allows you to get closer to large subjects. When you are closer to your subject, there is less water between your lens and subject; this increases contrast and color saturation. This lens can be added or removed underwater. You can use the included lens caddy to store the lens when not in use underwater.
