Our new housing for the Olympus C-8080 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 which can not be utilized.

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

Every camera function is accessible in the housing when underwater. The LCD on the back of the camera is easy to see.

An optional DS series Ikelite digital SubStrobe improves the photographs and accentuates the underwater colors.

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.

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 7 pounds.

Housing measures 7" wide, 10.25" wide with removable tray and handle attached. Front to back measurement is 8" including lens port and knobs. height is 6.5" including push buttons and hardware.

The size and movement of the camera lens precludes addition of optional external wide-angle lenses.
