All camera controls can be accessed with this housing, including both manual and auto focus.

Super Eye magnifier for the optical viewfinder is included, providing enhanced viewing while wearing a diving mask. External #9290.94 Side Mount Mirror is included to provide viewing of the color monitor through the clear housing. Reversing electronic circuitry shows correct left-to-right image.

Space is provided to allow use of the optional Sony NP-FM50, NP-FM70 or NP-QM71 batteries.

The base removes instantly with a unique toggle clamp for traveling or attaching of the optional Pro Video-Lite II battery pack. The handle assembly detaches from the housing by removal of just two nuts for packing.

All touch screen menu functions are provided which allows white balance. The A1 allows assigning white balance to the right-front push button for which a control is provided.

Optional (not an Ikelite product) Inon UWL-100 wide angle lens, Epoque conversion wide lens, and #6420 Ikelite lens attach directly to the outside of the port to provide even greater wide angle coverage, but the camera must remain in the wide angle position where these lenses are designed to operate. Many other housings for these cameras can not provide choice of either the view screen or magnified viewfinder, or include the URPro filter. The Ikelite design leaves almost nothing to be desired for safety and capability.
