The included 3.0" flat glass port features a 67 mm thread. Slightly negative buoyancy in freshwater. Included aluminum tray and handles can be removed with just two nuts for packing.

Controls

Important functions accessible through housing via mechanical controls. Access to camera's touchscreen menu functions, including white balance and manual focus, given via 2 controls. Controls are depth rated to 200' (60 m). Camcorder's large LCD viewing screen can be easily viewed via the External Mirror on the side of the housing. Simply open the Canon's LCD monitor, rotate 180° and fold back against the side of the camcorder. (Actual image will be reversed when viewed through the mirror).

Color Correction Filter

Included #6441.41 UR / Pro Color Filter offers color correction in tropical blue water, with available sunlight up to 80' (24 m). The optional filter 6441.81 is also available to achieve more natural tones in green water settings. Color filters such as these help restore tones that tend to get lost underwater, thereby imbuing your beneath-the-surface photography with more color richness and vibrancy.
