Camera(s) not included

The Ikelite 6214.05 ULTRAcompact Underwater Housing for Sony Cybershot DSC-WX50 Digital Camera is a waterproof case enabling you to shoot beneath the water's surface with your Sony Cybershot DSC-WX50 camera. It has a depth rating of 200' (60 m). .

The housing provides access to all camera functions, with the exceptions of the Mode Switch and Control Wheel, via mechanical controls. The camera's built-in flash is usable. Drop-in camera loading makes setup easy. The case is constructed from durable polycarbonate, which is clear to enable you to monitor the O-ring seal. Housing buoyancy is slightly positive in freshwater

You can attach optional 46mm and 67mm macro and wide-angle lenses to the housing's lens port. Macro lenses enable extreme close-up shots, while wide-angle lenses get you close to your subject while allowing you to fit more in the frame. Both types cut down on distortion caused by the water, thus improving image quality. Moderate to extreme vignetting will occur with wide- angle lenses. The use of 67mm macro lenses requires the 9306.81 Adapter (sold separately). With the optional 9306.79 Adapter, you can attach bayonet lenses, though Inon's UWL-105AD and UFL-165AD are not recommended. The WD-4 Wide Angle Dome is not compatible with this port.

To restore colors that get absorbed underwater, you can use optional external color correction filters. Use 6441.32 for blue water or 6441.72 for green water.

You can use optional external strobes to improve lighting, but they must be triggered as slave units. To soften the light of the camera's built-in flash and thus prevent backscatter and hard shadows, a flash diffuser and flash deflector are included.

The housing is equipped with a 12-24 thread with 3" (7.6 cm) spacing for the mounting of an optional tray with single or dual handles. Such a tray provides attachment points for lighting.
