D500 Camera Review

Learn more about the camera features and why we love it for underwater photography in our full Nikon D500 review.

Features:

• DryLock Port System - The housing utilized the DryLock Port System which supports various lenses and is capable of accomodating even larger diamter lenses. 
• Great Ergonomics - The ergonomics of the camera is excellent. Button placement are well thought off and knobs & levers are large and easily be operated even while wearing gloves.
• TTL Exposure - An optional TTL converter is available for automatic TTL exposure. Ikelite DS-model strobes may be used with this system without the TTL Hotshoe and Converter, but will not provide TTL exposure.
• Strobe Firing - Strobes can only be fired using electronic sync cords. Fiber optic cable installation is not compatible. 
• Vacuum System - The housing has a pre-installed vacuum valve which allows you to draw air out of the housing and will provide you the peace of mind that your housing is sealed during the duration of the dive. The Ikelite Vacuum Pump with Gauge is required.
