Dive into underwater photography with our most compact true TTL camera system. The Compact Digital housing is high quality, extremely durable, and backed by Ikelite's long-standing reputation for excellence
Proprietary conversion circuitry allows two-way communication between the camera and Ikelite Substrobes providing true Panasonic TTL exposure. In addition to providing the most accurate automatic exposure, this ensures a faster recycling time and longer camera battery life as compared to fiber optic TTL systems.
All camera controls except the Flash Open Switch are fully functional through the housing and depth rated to 200ft (60m).
Two 12-24 threaded mounts on the bottom of the housing allow for the secure attachment of optional trays and lighting accessories.
Camera's Built-in Flash
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective between 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results an external underwater strobe is recommended

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite Underwater Housing for Panasonic Lumix LX-5:
If you own an LX5, get one while you can. The little Panasonic advanced compact works perfectly inside. It's easy to assemble, seals like a German U-Boat and once you get the hang of the oversized controls and hard to use zoom knob, it does the job like anyone could reasonably expect. Virtually every control on the camera is accessible and you can see what you're doing. Point and Shoot or fiddle with it to your heart's content; your choice.
