Olympus OM-D E-M1 Micro 4:3 Mirrorless Camera Review - First Look and Details from Backscatter on Vimeo.
The PT-EP11 Underwater Housing from Olympus is a durable waterproof case enabling you to shoot beneath the surface with your OM-D E-M1 Micro Four Thirds digital camera. It features a depth rating of 147.6'. Take advantage of the E-M1's Underwater White Balance function, which nearly eliminates blue cast to help restore lost colors, as well as its Underwater Macro and Underwater Wide shooting modes.
The housing provides access to all essential camera functions via mechanical controls. Using the FL-LM2 removable flash, included with the camera, you can wirelessly control the optional dedicated underwater flash UFL-2.
The optional PAD-EP08 Port Extension Adapter allows you to attach the PPO-E01, PPO-E04, or PPO-E03 lens port to accommodate Four Thirds lenses, thus expanding compatibility. Wide-angle lenses increase your angle of coverage, allowing you to get close to your subject while fitting more in the frame. Macro lenses will enable extreme close-up shots. Both types of lenses cut down on distortion caused by the water, thus improving image quality.
