Ikelite 6148.13 Underwater Housing for Canon PowerShot SX130 IS

This Ikelite 6148.13 Underwater Housing is for the Canon PowerShot SX130 IS camera. 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'. Every camera function is accessible in this housing. Camera installation is quick and simple, and the O-ring seal can be checked visually through the clear housing.

The included flash diffuser will improve light quality when the camera's built-in flash is used, but for best results an external underwater strobe is recommended. This will bring out the natural color of your subjects and reduce the illumination of particles suspended in the water, known as backscatter. Use the optional EV Manual Controller to trigger any Ikelite DS Substrobe when the camera's built-in flash fires. The release handle system allows for easy attachment and removal of SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. The housing is slightly negative in saltwater for stability, and handles superbly underwater.

The housing comes standard with an optical-grade glass flat port which allows full use of the camera's zoom without vignetting. The Canon SX130 camera features a 28mm wide-angle setting. External wide angle conversion lenses cannot be used to any advantage. For wide-angle work the housing does accept the Ikelite WD-4 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome. The conversion dome corrects for the refractive magnification of the flat port underwater to restore the camera's original angle of coverage. The WD-4 and Canon SX130 combination provides a 28mm angle of coverage with incredibly crisp corners.
