Features
Equipped with newly developed "ST Bayonet Mount" for quick and smooth conversion lens mounting and removing. For 67mm threaded conversion lenses, attach the included "M67/ST Bayonet Mount Lens Adapter" and mount/remove 67mm mount type lenses with quick "one-touch" bayonet action. Quickly change lenses for any imaging subject and situation, from wide-angle to macro. (Due to vignetting, Inon AD mount lenses and adapters not useable.)

Loaded with proper and easy to actuate control functions appropriate for underwater imaging.

Three-step position adjustable remote control grip with main control functions

Flexible mirror monitor - view viewfinder image from any position
Equipped with ball-joint type monitor mirror (adjustable up/down, left/right position) to allow viewing image depending on your position relative to camera. Macro imaging with camera on seafloor, or situations where you can only position yourself above the camera are now possible. Also equipped with LCD monitor inversion function so images in mirror are corrected for proper left to right orientation.

Reproduce vivid colors with internal color filter
With internal flip type color filter, a flip of an external lever positions an internal orange filter over the camera lens. Suppresses blue to easily restore vivid color normally lost at depth. Filter is inside housing, where it won't be lost or scratched. An optional pink filter is available for green water conditions.

Solid construction with built-in safety features
Easily visible remote control grip LED lamps showing Record/Standby, Record Start, Playback and other functions, including a leak sensor lamp, just in case of water leakage. Lockable, double lever closure system. Simple, secure and failsafe rear case open/closure.
