- The Ikelite ULTRAcompact digital housing for the Cybershot W290 really delivers when performance and durability matter. The ULTRAcompact housing is high quality, built to last, and backed by Ikelite's long-standing reputation for excellence.
- Easy open latch and drop in camera loading make set-up a breeze. All camera controls are fully functional through the housing and depth rated to 200ft (60m).
- Housing measures 6" (15.2cm) wide; 4.4" (11cm) high including controls; 3.4" (8.6cm) deep including port. Camera and housing together weigh under 1.5 lbs (0.66kg) above water and are nearly neutral underwater.
- Camera's Built-in Flash. An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective one to three feet from the subject in clear conditions.
- External Color Filters. Replace some of the reds and more natural tones that would otherwise be lost. Available as #6441.41 for tropical blue water and #6441.81 for green water. Filters are effective in shallow, sunny conditions depending on water clarity.
- External Underwater Strobes. Positioning a flash farther from the camera's lens and at an angle reduces the illumination of particles in the water. Ikelite strobes provide much more power and a wider angle of coverage than the camera's built-in flash. Quick recycle times mean that they are always ready for the next shot. Available in several affordable packages that provide everything you need for the best results in all conditions.
- Wide Angle Conversion Lenses. An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of coverage so you can get much closer to your subject while still fitting everything in the frame. Attach 67mm threaded #6420 Ikelite W-20, Inon Type II, and Epoque lenses directly to the front of the housing's lens port without the need of an adapter.
Moderate vignetting (shading in the corners) may be present in the widest setting when using an external accessory lens. This can be eliminated by zooming in slightly. Slight softness around the edges of the photo in some situations is normal.
- Macro Lenses. Accessory macro lenses with 67mm threads may also be attached directly to the front of the housing's port. Macro lenses are not available directly through Ikelite.
