Housing details:

Introducing a full-featured underwater housing for the Olympus E-3 Digital SLR Camera. The compact, clear polycarbonate case provides visibility of its o-ring seals and corrosion-free performance up to a depth of 200ft (60m). Controls are provided for most camera functions and kept water-tight with Ikelite pioneered Quad-Ring seal glands--proven to be the most reliable method of sealing controls. A full range of dome and flat ports accommodate most macro, wide-angle and zoom lenses. Port attachment is quick and easy with a simple locking system and clear view of the port o-ring seal. Lens port not included. A large zoom control knob can be comfortably reached without removing your hand from the handle.

The dSLR housing measures 9.5" (24cm) wide including knobs; or 13.25" (33cm) wide with tray & handles. It measures 6.75" (17cm) high; or 8" (20cm) high with tray & handles. Without a port it measures 6.5" (16.5cm) deep including knobs and port lock assemblies. The housing complete with removable handle and tray assembly weighs 7.15 pounds (3.24kg) without port.

The housing includes TTL conversion circuitry that operates perfectly with current model Ikelite DS SubStrobes. Two pushbuttons on the back of the housing put precise exposure control right at your fingertips. While in TTL mode the circuitry provides four 1/2 f/stop increments over or under flash compensation that is added to or subtracted from any compensation entered into the camera. Manual mode provides eight manual power settings in half-stop increments. Click here for strobe systems. Other manufacturers' strobes can be used, but they cannot provide TTL exposure or be adjusted manually through the housing. Sync cords for the attachment of Nikonos, Inon, or Sea & Sea strobes are available.

The proven reliable Ikelite bulkhead allows for fail-safe connection of external strobes. Right-angle positioning relieves stress on the sync cord even when the housing is laid on its back. Controls are provided for every camera function except the flash up button and light button for the top LCD window. Camera settings can be viewed in the rear LCD screen on night dives. The AEL/AEL button can be activated with your thumb while holding the handle. The Ikelite Super-Eye magnifier comes standard and offers enhanced visibility of the camera's viewfinder while wearing a diving mask. The camera's large LCD screen can be clearly viewed through the back of the housing. You won't feel like you're lugging around the boat anchor--the housing size and weight provide near neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater. The Release Handles allow easy attachment and removal of SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. Two screws remove the handle and tray assembly for traveling.
