The port allows attaching macro and wide angle lenses from Epoque or the UWL-100 Inon. The 28mm lens of the 5060 camera does not allow use of these lenses in the widest angle setting, but greatly increased coverage is still obtained.

Our housing for the Olympus C-5060 and C-7070 includes special conversion circuitry to utilize the outstanding Olympus TTL system without wasting camera battery power and generating the heat of operating the camera built-in strobe.

This is not a "watching" the camera strobe system. This is real Olympus TTL control with a sync cord, allowing optional Ikelite DS model digital SubStrobes to provide actual Olympus TTL automatic exposure dictated by the camera, even in Super Macro mode, when attached with a single #4103.51 or #4103.52 dual sync cord. These cords are identifiable by their blue band.

The housing provides all of the capabilities of this camera underwater. The LCD information window on top of the camera is easy to see as is the LCD monitor.

Every camera function is accessible. Special "stay depressed when desired" controls simplify the difficulty of pushing buttons, especially two at a time, while trying to turn a dial and watch a monitor at the same time.

The housing includes a flash diffuser that allows underwater photos to be taken with the built-in strobe of the camera. An optional DS series Ikelite digital SubStrobe placed farther from the lens improves the photographs by reducing the illumination of particles suspended in the water.

DS model digital SubStrobes can also be used with the Manual Controller providing ten power settings, but this prevents access to TTL. The Manual Controller can be triggered by its wireless slave sensor, but connecting by sync cord is recommended. Older non-digital Ikelite SubStrobes can be used with a sync cord, operating in their manual mode only.

The comfortable Release Handle and Tray included allows easy attaching and removal of SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button. Optional Accessories include a dual handle tray and URPro color correcting filter.

The heavy duty thick wall housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate and operates safely to 200 feet. Camera and housing complete weighs less than 6 pounds.
