his setup is ideal for some one interested in getting into not only basic underwater photography but advanced shooting as well.
The Olympus SP-350 camera is an 8 mega pixel camera capable of both full auto and manual control. With the unique features of a hot shoe adapter for external strobes and flashes and the ability to record images in both jpeg and RAW this camera is at the top end of point and shoot models. For underwater use this camera features 3 full auto underwater modes as well as full manual control over focus, shutter speed, aperture, ISO and white balance for quick underwater changes. Also included in this auction is a second camera the SP-310 model which is identical to the SP-350 with the exception that it is 7 mega pixel and does not have the hot shoe. Both cameras fit the PT-030 housing that is included in the auction making the SP-350 the primary and the SP-310 a backup.
The PT-030 housing is a polycarbonate housing made by olympus for the SP-350 and SP-310 model cameras. This housing has been equipped with the Heinrichs Weikamp TTL circuitry converter so that the camera can speak to the strobe through the 5 pin nikonis sync cord. This allows the camera to have complete control over the strobe rather then relying on the cameras flash to fire the strobe.
Also included in this auction is a Sea & Sea YS-30 stobe with sync cord. This strobe has TTL Duo circuitry and can be used as a primary in its current configuration with the camera or as a back up to another Duo circuitry strobe. The camera system also features Ultralight arms and tray, three xD cards two 1 gig cards and a single 2 gig card and a rechargeable battery. The Cameras are both able to take 2 AA but the rechargeable battery pack allows for more sustained battery life. Finally the original camera manuals and PC software for editing and viewing the images are included on two cd-roms.
