The 6096 Underwater Housing with Canon VIXIA HF S200 Camcorder B&H Kit from Ikelite enables you to shoot underwater with your Canon camcorder. The underwater housing is compact, easy to use, and provides access to all camera functions. It allows your camcorder to be used safely at a depth of 200'. The housing includes an optical glass lens port with removable UR/Pro color-correcting filter, which enhances the warm reds and oranges that are lost underwater. The port is threaded, allowing the use of optional 67 mm threaded macro lenses. The camcorder's lens is too wide for wide angle conversion lenses to be useful; wide angle options include Ikelite dome port #9306, or flat port #9306.1 for use with the Raynox DCR-730 high-definition wide angle lens. The camera's LCD monitor can be viewed from the rear of the housing using the hinged external mirror. The base of the camcorder removes instantly with a unique toggle clamp for traveling or attaching the optional Pro Video Lite 3 battery pack.
The Canon VIXIA HF S200 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder boasts an 8.59MP CMOS Sensor, along with the DIGIC DV III Image Processor. The two work together to capture 1920 x 1080 HD video in 24Mbps AVCHD. Native and Cinema 24p Modes allow 24 fps / frames per second, the same as film, while 30p Progressive Mode captures 30 fps, particularly useful for footage to be used on the Internet. For still images, shoot up to 3 frames per second in the Continuous Mode, or a rapid 5 frames per second in the High Speed Continuous Mode. The camcorder features a 3.5" 922K-Dot super high-resolution Touch Panel LCD screen and a 10x optical zoom lens. The HFS200 records all your files to removable SD/SDHC memory cards, for which it has 2 slots.
Another helpful feature of the camera is Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization, which gives you blur-free pictures. With Face Detection, up to 35 faces can be tracked automatically, ensuring razor-sharp focus and natural, accurate exposure. Instant AF / autofocus significantly decreases the time it takes to find focus, even in low light conditions. Auto Intelligent Auto Focus, AiAF, ensures sharp images, even when your subject is not centered in the frame. Focus Assist helps in capturing your subject in razor-sharp focus by providing a 2x magnification of your subject, which is automatically cancelled when you start recording. Smart Auto intelligently detects and analyzes faces, brightness, color, distance, and movement, then automatically selects the best settings for the scene. To supplement this, Touch and Track delivers precise tracking of the focus and exposure on any subject. Capture the highlights of your adventures with the same ease as taking photos, thanks to the Advanced Video Snapshot feature.
HD-to-SD conversion allows you to convert recorded high definition video to standard definition files while safely preserving the original HD video. The VIXIA HF S200 is compatible with the Eye-Fi SD Memory Card. You can wirelessly transfer your converted video and photos to your computer, or easily upload them directly to online sharing sites. One-cable connectivity to your HDTV is yours through the VIXIA HF S200's HDMI Terminal, which also supports CEC and x.v.Color. 5.1-Channel Surround Sound lets you capture audio quality that matches the stunning realism of your high definition video. The Pixela ImageMixer 3SE video editing software allows for playback of recorded video on your computer and gives you the ability to trim, reorder and combine scenes, as well as add music, titles, and transitions. The camera is powered by a lithium-ion battery.
