Housing. Ikelite has over 40 years of experience in the underwater

photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and

built in the USA by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur

photographer.

The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera

to read the General and Photo Tips. 

We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly

to have a full understanding of where each camera control is

located and what function each control provides.
