With Ikelite’s Underwater Housing for the Panasonic Lumix TS7 or FT7 digital cameras, you can capture detailed photographs and colorful video as deep as 200 feet below the surface of the sea. The enclosure is equipped with two fiber-optic ports that may be used to attach optional external strobes to the enclosure using the required cables.

Except for the diopter adjustment dial, all camera operations are controlled by ergonomic mechanical controls, including a curved shutter lever that can be extended for use with a tray by using an adapter that may be purchased separately from the camera.

The housing, which is constructed in the United States of America from a corrosion-resistant ABS and polycarbonate blend, is light gray/white on the front, sides, top, and bottom and clear on the back, allowing you to see the O-ring seal and rear camera controls without having to remove the housing.
