Ikelite 6812 Overview

This Ikelite housing for the Nikon D-200 allows iTTL operation with Ikelite DS digital SubStrobes when connected to the housing's bulkhead by a sync cord. The circuitry provides four 1/3 f/stop increments over or under flash compensation to be added to or subtracted from any compensation entered into the camera. Seven manual power settings in half-stop increments allow for complete creative control. All choices are obtained by simply rotating a knob on the housing back.

AE/AF lock button can be activated with your thumb while holding the handle, but the Metering selector surrounding the AE/AF button is not provided. Control for front FUNC button can also operate the depth of field preview. Lens Release and Flash Compensation buttons are provided. "Stay depressed" control operates the White Balance, ISO and Qual functions on top left of camera body, but the Mode dial under these buttons is not provided. Focus-mode (C/S/M) selector can be changed with a little finesse. A control is even provided to open the Card slot cover latch, and the tray is notched, allowing battery and card replacement without removing the camera from the tray.

The housing size and weight provides neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater. Camera installation is quick and simple. The dependable controls are conveniently placed at your fingertips, and kept water tight with Ikelite pioneered Quad-Ring seal glands proven to be the most reliable method for sealing controls.

The Ikelite Super-Eye magnifier provided with the housing offers enhanced viewing while wearing a diving mask. An assortment of interchangeable lens ports allows use of most macro, wide angle, and zoom lenses. The Ikelite Super-Eye magnifier provided with the housing secures to the camera eyepiece and offers enhanced viewing while wearing a diving mask.
