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.
