Completely redesigned the new Bluefin is build to accommodate
the Sony 3-chip VX2100 or PD170 camcorder. The new Bluefin
VX2100 provides the most advanced feature set and the
most camera controls for any housing in its class.
"Advanced Imaging" sums up the camera control
for the Bluefin VX2100. The Smart Grip control handles
provide fingertip access to common controls such as record/standby,
light control, photo, manual focus and a two speed zoom.
For image control, the Bluefin VX2100 has a NEW electronic
interface to access program, shutter speed, white balance
and audio level. Also included are mechanical controls
to access exposure and the ND filter. Blue water color
correction flip filter can be engaged or disengaged underwater.
Also standard is the zoom macro lens, redundant double
O-ring seals for all optics and rear plate, an audible
moisture alarm, a LED record/standby indicator and an
amphibious microphone.
