The Canon WP-DC340L Waterproof Case For PowerShot ELPH 520 HS Camera is a durable underwater housing for your digital camera. It is designed to protect your valuable investment against sea water and sand. The housing has a depth rating of 10' (3.0 m). It's equipped with a built-in flat glass lens port, as well as a built-in flash diffusion plate to help prevent glare--for improved visibility and even underwater flash illumination. This case lets you take advantage of the camera's Underwater mode, which enables you to capture images beneath the surface with minimized backscatter.
This housing enables access to the camera's Macro Mode and to its wide-angle shooting capabilities. Macro mode is ideal for extreme close-up shots, while wide-angle shooting is designed for situations where you want to get closer to your subject while still fitting everything in-frame. The camera's wide-angle lens cuts down on distortion caused by the water between you and your subject, thus producing greater image fidelity and quality. The case also permits access to your camera's Stitch Assist Mode for panorama shots.
Unlike many similar cases from Canon, this one does not come with any weights for adjusting buoyancy. A versatile housing, the WP-DC340L can also be used above the surface, in environments where snow, sand, excess humidity or dust could cause damage to your digital camera. A great companion for underwater adventures, skiing excursions and many other outdoor activities, the case provides a nice safety net for your PowerShot--so you can focus on getting the shots you want, without having to worry about the well-being of your camera.
