This Ikelite Underwater Housing for the Sony Alpha DSLR-A300 and Alpha DSLR-A350 allows TTL operation with the Ikelite DS series digital SubStrobes, when connected to the housing's bulkhead with a sync cord. The circuitry includes two f/stop over- and under-exposure compensation in half-stop increments. In manual mode there are eight power settings in half-stop increments. All this is controlled by pushing a button on the back of the housing.
The housing is rated to a depth of 200' (60 m). Camera installation is quick and simple, and the o-ring seal can be checked visually through the clear housing.
The Release Handle system allows for easy attachment and removal of the SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. Two screws remove the handle and tray assembly for traveling. The housing is sized and weighted for near-neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater. An external strobe is recommended to improve the images by reducing the illumination of particles suspended in the water.
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. The housing features control for the Live View - OVF switch. This feature is very handy for underwater work.
