Description

Seacam housings are designed to fit the palm of the hand, with controls falling naturally to the fingertips. The underwater buoyancy is slightly negative; as it should be so as to avoid floating away, yet light enough to avoid fatiguing the photographer. The ergonomic design of the individual operating elements is contrived so that hands rarely need be removed from the grips, unless one-handed operation is preferred.

Exact focus and shutter release is achieved with the thumb and index finger. Aperture controls operate either via a subcommand dial or precise lens gearing. Distance and zoom work via easy to mount lens gears. All of the important and sensible camera settings are adjustable via external controls and clearly visible camera displays.

Precision seal
The double O-ring seal on all control shafts is essential for watertight integrity, as is the UV and chemically resistant quality of the materials used. A 3.5mm thick main O-ring sits in a precisely machined groove. The high-grade spring-mounted quick-clasps remain under full tension, unaffected by depth and pressure considerations.

Simple, accurate camera mounting
The quick, accurate camera mount system is achieved by means of a precisely machined camera base and three point bearing. A captive tripod screw fixes the camera in place, and changing film can be done without dismounting the camera from housing. An elegant black textile fiber coating on the inside protects the camera from extraneous light bouncing around and traps errant drops of water so they don't slide about.

Viewfinders
SLR Vision made easy

In order to see exactly what you are photographing, Seacam underwater housings are equipped with a variety of viewfinder systems. The standard pro optic show, despite the eye relief required by the dive mask, a clear image of the viewfinder and LED panel, making composition and focus efficient and comfortable.

Utilizing integrated Gallilei optics, the standard viewfinder provides a full view edge-to-edge with only a slight reduction in magnification. When changing films the Seacam viewfinder optic need not be removed, and thus can not be lost.
