Product Description

CAMERA COMPATIBILITY UPDATE

Compatibility of the MDX-5D Mark lll ver.2 housing with CANON EOS 5Ds or 5DsR cameras

Housing's with serial numbers between 143100001 and 143100125 require modification at a SEA&SEA official service centre to be able to accomodate CANON EOS 5Ds and 5DsR cameras.

Housings with serial numbers outside this range can accommodate CANON EOS 5Ds or 5DsR cameras as they are.

If you wish to have the housing modified to accommodate a CANON EOS 5Ds or 5DsR camera, please contact an official SEA&SEA dealer near you.

* Modification available as of late July 2015.
* Completing the modification will make the housing more effective.

COMPATIBLE WITH OPTICAL YS CONVERTERS

Compatible with new Optical YS Converters for MDX housing which converts the camera’s TTL signal to a light signal. Both TTL and manual strobe photography is possible using a Fiber-Optic Cable II.

Optical YS Converter/C2 (#50142) is compatible when using 5Ds or 5DsR cameras.
Optical YS Converter/C1 (#50136) is compatible when using 5D MkIII cameras.

COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH THE VF180 AND VF45 VIEWFINDERS

By attaching the VF180 (#46112) or the VF45 prism viewfinders (#46111) to the housing, the magnification increases by 1.2x and entire field of view can be seen at the same time. Recommended for users committed to strict composition and focusing.

LUMINESCENT STICKERS

Major controls including levers and buttons will glow in dark environments.

EQUIPPED WITH MOVABLE FOCUS/ZOOM GEAR

When the focus/zoom dial is pulled out, the gear inside the housing will move outward allowing for lenses with large diameters to be easily mounted.

AF-ON LEVER LOCK SYSTEM

In addition to the standard controls, the AF Start lever may also be used for focus lock. Utilize the Focus Lock feature to allows yourself to concentrate on releasing the shutter at that crucial moment.

MAIN DIALS ARE EQUIPPED WITH DAMPERS (SPRINGS)

The main dial, the quick control dial and diopter adjustment dial have a damper (spring) to provide secure operation. (Controls on the cameras will not slip because of the damper).

ADJUSTABLE SHUTTER SENSITIVITY

The shutter sensitivity can be adjusted by changing the location of the adjust plate.

THREE ERGONOMICALLY IMPROVED LEVERS

A new design for the shutter lever, the AF mode lever, the AF-ON lever, and the movie-record lever has improved the levers ergonomic shape.

DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT DIAL

The camera's diopter adjustment dial can be operated from the housing.
