| *1 When using DX Model (or SD Model with optional AD Lens Adapter) with UWL-105AD wide angle or UFL-165AD fisheye conversion lenses, there will be slight vignetting of image corners when video or still images are played or viewed on personal computer screens, underscan monitors or full HDTV monitors. However, there is no vignetting when viewing on camera's viewfinder or regular television screen. | |||
| *2 When using PRO Model with UWL-105AD wide angle or UFL-165AD fisheye conversion lenses, there is no vignetting of video images played back on personal computer, underscan monitors, viewfinder, common HDTV or regular television screens, but still images will slightly vignette at corners when viewed on personal computer or underscan monitors. (However, there is no vignetting of still images when viewed on camera's viewfinder or regular television screen.) | |||
| *3 When using SD and DX Models with optional "M67 Mount Lens Adapter" and UWL-100 wide angle conversion lens or UWL-100 + Dome Unit combination there is no vignetting of video or still images with any monitors, including HDTV monitors.

| Ultra compact, lightweight body Machined from pure, solid blocks of aluminum and polycarbonate down to the smallest size and weight possible. Rugged aluminum construction yet only weighs a bit more that 1kg. Small and light enough to hand carry on aircraft - great for today's strict weight restrictions. And, with a housing body form fitting the camera, easily handling underwater too, with close to neutral buoyancy, just slightly negative. |

| Seatool INON AD Lens Holder Attaches to HC3/HC1 PRO/A1 PRO Housing Grip & Tray. Conveniently holds INON AD type conversion lenses when not in use. |
|
Compatible with INON AD mount lenses * When both UFL-165AD or UWL-105AD lenses are mounted to Lens Holder, and then either of these two lenses are attached to HC3 housing port, the image will be partially blocked by the lens installed on the Lens Holder. Therefore, it is not practical to take both of these lenses (UFL-165AD & UWL-105AD) on the same dive, if you intend to store one of them on the Lens Holder. * With UCL-165AD lens installed on housing port, any other AD lens can be mounted on the lens holder without any problem. *UWL-100 28AD lens can be installed on lens holder, but is not recommended for use with HC3 because image degradation is too great. |
