This is a package which includes the OM System OM-D EM10 IV camera, the Backscatter housing designed for it, an Inon UWL-95S 67mm "wet" wide angle lens, the acrylic dome unit IIIA for the UWL-95S which increases the angle of view to around 141 degrees and an Inon UCL-165 67mm "wet" macro lens.
This is a great mid range camera for underwater use. It is a big step up in quality compared to something like a TG-7 compact whilst being considerably smaller and less expensive than most of the higher end mirrorless models currently available. The camera accepts Micro Four-Thirds lenses and all the camera packages we sell include the popular Olympus Zuiko ED 14-42mm EZ lens. The EM10 IV has all the advanced settings you’d expect to find in such a camera including the ability to control the custom white balance so you can get your colours looking pretty much as you see with your own eyes when underwater. It has a physical image stabiliser and shoots 4K video.
Backscatter Olympus OM-D E-M10 IV Underwater Octo Housing UH-EM10IV
This is a brilliantly made housing that makes controlling the camera as easy as possible whilst being relatively inexpensive for such a camera. It has a 67mm thread on the front port allowing external “wet” lenses to be fitted whilst on your dive so you can swap between wide angle and macro on the same dive. This is a capability usually missing from higher end camera systems when fitted into underwater housings. The housing comes with the correct zoom gear and port for the Olympus Zuiko ED 14-42mm EZ lens which is ideally suited for working with external “wet” lenses. The housing has an electronic vacuum system to monitor your housing for any pressure changes during a dive to prevent leaks.
Inon UWL-95s = Compact size with 90mm outer diameter and 48.3mm length makes it easy to carry around. Thanks to the thin design which does not sacrifice lens optical performance, the overall set size remains compact when attached on a housing.
Dual use land/underwater Maximum view angle underwater is 95° which gets widen to 159° when using on land providing fisheye images without complicated and expensive gears.
Super wide Dome Lens Unit IIIA = Dome Lens Unit IIIA widens original view angle to approx. 141°.
The UCL-165M67 = is high magnification close-up lens providing 165mm focal length (+6 diopter) where 165mm shooting distance from lens surface when camera’s focus position is set to infinity. Using minimum focusing distance will shorten minimum focus distance allowing you to get closer to a subject enabling high magnification close-up photography.
