External Color Correcting Filters

Color filters such as the UR-Pro Filter replace
some of the reds, oranges and more natural
tones that would otherwise be lost underwater.
Effective in relatively shallow, sunny conditions.
Available for tropical blue water and  green
water settings. For optimum results use in
combination with “custom (manual) white
balance.” Check your camera user guide for
information on this option (if available). Not
recommended when using external strobes.

UR-Pro Filter

Lens Port

UR/Pro Filters (Blue Water or Green Water) 

The UR/Pro underwater color correcting filter is designed to restore
some of the warm colors filtered out by the water. For available light use
only. Not recommended for use with an external flash.

External Macro Adaptor 9306.82

Allows attachment of 67mm threaded macro lenses from Inon and
Epoque. NOT for use with 67mm threaded wide-angle lenses.

WD-4 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome 6430.4

The removeable WD-4 corrects light refraction underwater,

restoring the camera’s original angle of coverage. Approximately
3/4 of the camera's zoom range can be used with the dome in
place. Slight vignetting may occur at camera’s widest angle setting. 

Note: 

Other than the 6430.4 and 9306.82, no other accessory lenses or

adaptors can be used with this housing.
