Port can be replaced without opening the housing

Port lock can now be activated from outside the housing. The housing is also equipped with a "lens-lock release" button which allows the lens to be replaced without opening the housing. The port lock can also be activated from inside like previous SEA&SEA housings.

Compatible with both the VF180 1.2x and VF45 1.2x viewfinders

By attaching the VF180 (#46112) or the VF45 prism viewfinders (#46111) (magnification ratio of 1.2x) to the housing, the magnification increases by 1.2x and entire field of view can be seen at the same time. Recommended for users committed to strict composition and focusing.

The multi selector (which is often used underwater) is the same design as the camera control and can be operated in eight directions in the same way

The multi selector is located on the very right hand side of the rear case so that it is easily accessible and operated with your hand on the grip.
