The DX-5D is made of a tough corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy
with a hard alumite coating for extra rigidity. It’s durable
and ready to stand up to tough use. Its snug design keeps it compact
and lightweight, and its leather-toned outer surface reflects the
high quality of the camera it houses inside.
On the back, a newly designed pickup viewfinder brings every corner
of the camera frame into clear view. You can easily sense when
the shutter is pressed halfway to activate features without tripping
the shutter. Inside, a leak sensor keeps watch for water inside
the housing.
The DX-5D comes standard with two type-N strobe connectors (2-pin
and 6-pin) that are compatible with the popular SEA&SEA Series-YS
strobes. The 6-pin connector accepts the optional TTL converter
for Canon cameras that enables TTL flash adjustment for accurately
lit flash photography. The DX-5D is also compatible with SEA&SEA
NX ports used by the NX housing series.
The Canon EOS 5D camera inside has a full-sized 35 mm/1.4 inch
CMOS sensor that provides the same light-exposure surface size
as 35-mm film. It eliminates the slight telephoto effect created
by smaller standard digital camera sensors and brings back the
spacious feel of 35-mm film photography.
The DX-5D: all the quality of film underwater with the flexibility
and convenience of digital imaging.
The included type-N 6-pin connector accepts the optional TTL converter
for Canon cameras. The converter works with a SEA&SEA strobe
to provide automatic TTL flash adjustment.
* The converter requires the 5-pin Sync Cord/N for connecting to
a strobe.
Customizing the housing offers additional functions. You can replace
the 6-pin strobe connector on the top of the housing with a 2-pin
strobe connector for an additional cost, 89034. This modification
provides two 2-pin connectors so you can connect two SEA&SEA
Series-YS strobes.
* This modification does not support automatic TTL flash adjustment.
It requires the 5-pin Sync Cord/N.
* The DX-5D housing comes from the factory with these type-N connectors:
one 2-pin connector and one 6-pin connector.
* To use two SEA&SEA Series-YS strobes with the factory-equipped
type-N connectors, you must use the 5-pin Dual Sync Cord/N 03470.
* This housing accepts lens ports and other accessories in the
NX housing series.
* Not all NX ports and accessories work with the DX-5D.
