The Mark II's built-in, pop-up flash is also usable, and an included diffusion plate softens its light to eliminate backscatter, glare, and hard shadows in your images. Additionally, the case comes configured with a cold shoe mount for accessories, such as an optional lighting arm or an external strobe in a separate housing, which can be connected via fiber-optic cable. You can also use the camera's flash to trigger a strobe as a wireless slave.
Built for durability, the WP-DC53 is constructed from a strong plastic polymer, which is clear to enable you to monitor the waterproof seal and the camera. A neck strap and wrist strap are included, as is a container of silicone grease for O-ring lubrication, which is necessary to maintain the housing's waterproof seal.
Depth Rating
Can be used at a maximum depth of 130'.
Controls
Mechanical controls provide access to essentially all camera functions. The only limitation is that you have partial, and not full, access to the dual control rings. The control dial is usable, though the housing has a different method of activating it: Just move the zoom lever while pressing the DISP button.
