Sea & Sea DX-2G Camera and Housing Set

Sea & Sea DX-2G Camera and Housing Set

The Sea & Sea DX-2G Camera and Housing Set: from super macro to wide-angle photography.

The Sea & Sea DX-2G Camera and Housing Set features a macro mode for close-up photography, allowing you to get as close as 1 cm (0.4 inches) to the subject at the wide-angle end or 4 cm (1.6 inches) at the telephoto end. Even with a standard lens, you can achieve an angle of view of 24 mm at the wide-angle end.

An evolution in beauty – SEA&SEA mode perfect for underwater photography:

The Sea & Sea DX-2G Camera and Housing Set features SEA&SEA mode, a still image mode for optimal underwater photography.

The colour balance is automatically set so anyone can easily take pictures of beautiful deep blues to enable you to capture the underwater world as vividly in your pictures as in your memories.

The highest reliability with a depth rating of 55 m (180 ft):

Based on the DX-1G, SEA&SEA has applied its state-of-the-art technology to develop the housing design, paying special attention to even finer and more detailed controls.

Now you can effortlessly operate all the capture-related buttons on the DX-2G camera’s body.
