Ikelite 6182.70 Underwater Housing for Nikon P7000 Camera

This Ikelite 6182.70 Underwater Housing for Nikon P7000 Camera 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'. All camera functions except Fn Button, Lens Ring Release Button and the Diopter Adjustment Control are accessible in this housing. Camera installation is quick and simple, and the O-ring seal can be checked visually through the clear housing.

An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective between 1 and 3 feet (0.3-0.9m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results an external underwater strobe is recommended. This will bring out the natural color of your subject and reduce the illumination of particles suspended in the water, known as backscatter. This housing includes circuitry that allows two-way communication between the camera and Ikelite Substrobes, providing true Nikon TTL exposure. Strobes from other manufacturers can be used in manual mode. 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 fresh water for stability, and handles superbly underwater.

The housing comes standard with a flat port which allows full use of the camera's zoom without vignetting. The Nikon P7000 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 optional Ikelite WD-4 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome Port. The conversion dome corrects for the refractive magnification of the flat port underwater to restore the camera's original angle of coverage.
