- Nearly neutral buoyancy in freshwater
- Open-groove design suspends the rear O-ring in the natural position, allowing for easier maintenance and preventing accidental twisting or stretching

- Mounting plate has a 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the bottom for connection to an optional tripod

- Optional DL1 DS Link TTL Converter #46056 enables TTL operation with compatible Ikelite DS strobes
- DL1 supports rear curtain synchronization and allows exposure compensation to be adjusted using the control in the camera
- Two fiber optic ports use the camera's built-in flash to trigger optional external strobes
Controls and Handling
- Shutter and AF-ON (back-button focus) levers are curved and extendable for comfortable use when holding the optional right-hand quick-release grip
- An extra-large, soft-touch zoom knob is located next to the grip handle
- All push-button controls are machined and hard anodized aluminum to reduce weight and resist salt build-up
- Ergonomic mechanical push buttons, dials, and levers afford access to all camera functions except Fn1, Fn2, flash pop-up, diopter adjustment dial, and touchscreen
- Control symbols are laser-etched into the back of the housing, so they won't fade or fall off with time
- SuperEye Viewfinder enhances your view through the camera's OVF when you're wearing a mask
- You can remove the SuperEye quickly if you'd like to attach the separately sold Straight or 45° Magnified Viewfinder instead
- Hard anodized aluminum tray with a left-hand quick-release grip affords improved balance and handling while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm
- 1/4"-20 mounts and other mounting points enable connection to a tripod and the addition of accessories
