Improved underwater weight.
The underwater weight has improved due to a more precise machining method.
Easy Operation.
Important controls such as ISO, AF-ON and Start-Stop may be activated and deactivated more easily due to a NEW lever activation design.
The Multi-Controller is located on the right side of the rear case.
Buttons have been “gapped” for easy operation.
Compatible with optical converter/C1
Compatible with Optical Converter/C1 for MDX, which converts TTL signal from camera side to LED light. It is possible to switch between TTL mode and manual mode via Fiber-Optic Cable II.
*When using the Optical Converter, Fiber-Optic Cable II is required.
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.
Luminescent stickers
Major controls, including levers and buttons, will glow in dark conditions.
Equipped with movable Focus/Zoom gear
When the focus/zoom dial is pulled out, the gear inside the housing will move outward allowing for lenses with large diameters to be easily mounted.
Diopter adjustment dial
The camera's diopter adjustment dial can be operated from the housing. This feature is effective when two or more people (with different eyesight) use the housing.
Main dials are equipped with damper (spring)
The main dial, quick control dial, diopter adjustment dial and live view/movie lever have a spring-loaded damper to provide secure operation. (Camera controls will not slip because of the dampers).
*1 The housing is not equipped with a strobe connector when shipped from the factory. Use (a) Fiber-optic Cable(s) when connecting external strobe(s). Optional Sync Cord 2-pin Connector (#50122) is required if you wish to use a conventional hardwired Sync cable. |
