The Epoque EHD-800Ai kit includes the Epoque housing rated to a depth of 150\' (45 m) combined with the Epoque inner camera. The fine 1/2.5\" CMOS chip has an effective image quality of 8 mega-pixels, producing files for large detailed prints. The camera is equipped with a large, bright 2.4\" LCD monitor. This makes composition, replay and adjustment easy on the eyes. The optical zoom lens has a 35mm equivalent of 36mm to 108mm. The port has a 55mm thread; 55mm wide-angle and close-up lenses can be used. The use of a wide-angle lens allows you to get closer to your subject. This eliminates water between you and your subject, increasing contrast and improving color. The wide angle conversion lens can be attached and removed when underwater. For optimum lighting underwater an optional external strobe is recommended. Epoque strobes are brighter, recycle faster and offer wider coverage than the camera\'s flash. Being farther from the camera lens, the strobe reduces the illumination of particles in the water which helps eliminate backscatter. The Epoque EHD-800Ai housing allows access to all camera functions underwater. The camera is easy to use even for the novice. The camera is part of a system that will nurture your creativity and allow expansion of your underwater photo skills.
