The 6211.05 Compact Underwater Housing with Sony DSC-HX5V Camera B&H Kit from Ikelite enables you to shoot underwater with your Sony digital camera. The underwater housing offers an unobstructed view of the camera's information and control functions and operates safely to a depth of 200'. An easy-open latch along with drop-in camera loading make set-up a breeze. The housing is sized and weighted for near-neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater. You can access all camera controls through the housing except the HX5V camera's "Burst" feature.
A flash diffuser is included to improve lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used underwater. Two 12/24 threaded mounts on the bottom of the housing allow for the secure attachment of optional trays and lighting accessories. Wide angle conversion lenses are not compatible with this housing, but by using the optional Ikelite WD-4 Wide Angle Conversion Dome, you will correct for the size distortion that occurs underwater. The dome can be attached and removed when underwater. For close up work, you can use the Ikelite adapter 9306.82 to attach macro lenses by Epoque and Inon.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V digital camera boasts a 10.2 Megapixel Back-Illuminated Exmor R CMOS Image Sensor. It delivers high speed, high resolution and great low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. Shoot at an extremely fast 10 frames per second, and shoot movies in high definition 1080i! The 3.0" LCD display allows for clear visibility, even in bright sunlight. The camera features a 10x (25 mm equivalent) Professional-Quality Optical Zoom G-Lens.
With Intelligent AF technology, you can capture fleeting moments like a child's adorable expression with the ultra-quick AF / Auto Focus, which works in as little as 0.3 seconds. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality. An integrated GPS receiver and compass record the location and direction of every shot you take and let you view your images on a map with compatible computer and internet applications. TransferJet technology lets you transfer up to ten files between two TransferJet enabled devices just by touching them together! With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos.
Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you by recognizing scenes, lighting conditions and faces, and adjusts the settings to produce clear images and faces with natural skin tone and less blur. The camera also has Face Detection technology, which detects up to 8 individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
HD MP4 Movie Mode is a popular format for high-definition video that compresses the size of your audio and video, making your media files small enough to easily transfer to your compatible PC or Mac. MP4 is highly compatible with the Web, so you can easily upload your media to popular photo or video-sharing Web sites like Photobucket or YouTube. The camera also features HDMI Output connectivity. Pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software makes it easy to pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them to a compatible PC and popular internet sharing sites.
