Wide angle, macro + filters
The port features a 67mm thread on the front for the easy attachment of external wide angle and macro wet lenses. Wide angle lenses make objects appear smaller, so that you can fit more into your frame underwater. Macro close-up lenses make small objects appear larger, so that tiny creatures will fill your frame.
External macro lenses with 67mm threads from INON, SAGA, and other manufacturers, can be attached directly to the front of the housing's port.
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 CF-M67 for tropical blue water and CF-M67-M for use in green water settings.
Lighting
If you're diving below about 60ft/18m or at night, we recommend adding a light to help your camera focus and boost the colors in your photos and video. In underwater lighting, brighter is better. Look for a light with a high lumens rating and a very wide, even beam.
Flash
Due to the position of the camera's flash in relation to its lens, the built-in flash is not suitable to illuminate photos under water. For the best color and clarity, we recommend adding a filter, strobe, or constant-on light. The built-in flash may be used to trigger external strobes via fiber optic sync cord. Two ports are provided for the connection of up to two fiber optic cords.
Built-in vacuum system
Sea Frogs housing has an optional vacuum leak check circuitry with valve built-in. Just use the included pump to secure your housings against leaks before your dive.
Vacuum system lets you clearly know if the housing is sealed before diving. This is important to keep yourdevices safe.
