Description:

Sea & Sea 860G

Small but powerful : The DX-860G set pacls 6.2 megapixel effective resolution (8 megapixel maximum resolution) into a convenient underwater package that's perfect for beginners.

Main Features of the DX-860G Housing:

- An exclusive bayonet mount accepts a wide-angle conversion lens or a close-up lens designed for the DX-860G. You can attach or detach each lens underwater.

- Comes with a single fiber-optic cable socket for an external flash.

- A built-in flash diffuser softens the built-in flash for more gently illuminated images.

- A lever-type shutter release makes tripping the shutter easy and responsive.

- The housing is rugged and rated to a depth of 45m / 150ft.

- Comes standard with an LCD monitor hood and inner camera hood to help keep the camera’s LCD display clear and vivid in conditions with strong back lighting.

- Comes with an accessory shoe for attaching accessories.

Main Features of the 860G Camera:

- An ultra-fine 1/2.5-inch CCD with an effective pixel count of 6.2 megapixels (maximum recordable pixel count of 8 megapixels) provides high-resolution image capture.

- A large 2.5-inch TFT liquid crystal monitor in a compact- light-weight- thin aluminum camera body provides vivid image display.

- An optical 3x zoom lens with a focal length ranging from 35 to 105mm (35mm film camera equivalent) perfectly frames your subject.

- A macro mode on the zoom lens lets the camera focus as close as 5cm (2inch) from a subject for close-up photography of small subjects.

- Adjustable white balance with settings compensates for a wide variety of lighting conditions: Auto- Daylight- Cloudy- Fluorescent- Tungsten- Sunset- and Custom.

- An exposure correction function (2EV- in steps of 0.5EV) shifts auto-exposure settings to compensate for tricky lighting situations.

- A continuous shooting function and auto-bracket function (-0.5EV- 0EV- 0.5EV) allow capturing quick bursts of images and automatic exposure variation.

- Adjustable ISO sensitivity (Auto- 100- 200- 400) sets CCD capture sensitivity for added exposure control.

- Special image effect settings (Black-White- Normal- Sepia- RGB) produce unique images- and sharpness settings (Soft- Normal- Vivid) control image clarity.

- Nine photo frame functions put graphic frames around your images.

- A motion picture function captures video of up to 640x480 pixel (VGA) resolution at a rate of 24 frames per second (24fps).

- Includes a built-in memory of 32MB and accepts SD / multimedia cards as well for additional image-storage memory.

- Is powered by a lithium-ion battery and includes a charger for the battery.
