Ikelite Housing for Canon SD980 IS / IXUS 200 IS Cameras
Dive into underwater photography with this incredibly compact and simple to use combination. The ULTRAcompact housing is high quality, built to last, and backed by Ikelite's long-standing reputation for excellence.
All camera controls except touch screen functions and the control dial are operable through the housing and depth rated to 200ft (60m). Control dial functions can be accessed using the camera's arrow buttons. Easy open latch and drop in camera loading make set-up a breeze.
Camera's Built-in Flash.
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective between 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results an external underwater strobe is recommended.
External Color Filters.
Color filters replace some of the reds, oranges and more natural tones that would otherwise be lost underwater. Effective in relatively shallow, sunny conditions. Available as #6441.41 for tropical blue water and #6441.81 for use in green water settings.
External Underwater Strobes.
Ikelite strobes are much more powerful, recycle more quickly, and eliminate more backscatter than the camera's built-in flash. Don't settle for flat, blue-green images.
Tray and Handles.
An optional tray with release handle(s) provides an attachment for DS Substrobes or the Pro-V8 LED Video Lite. Available as #9523.31 tray with single handle or #9523.32 tray with dual handles.
External Accessory Lenses.
The front of the lens port accepts the #6420 W-20 and other 67mm threaded wide angle or macro lenses without the need for an adapter. An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of coverage so you can get much closer to the subject while still fitting everything in the frame. Minimal vignetting (shading in the corners) may be present in the widest setting when using an external wide angle lens. This can be eliminated by zooming in slightly.
