Compatibility with Olympus OM-D E-M5/PT-EP08
INON INC. is pleased to announce compatibility of existing INON accessories with Olympus D-SLR system OM-D E-M5 / PT-EP08 (*1).
■ External strobe compatibility■
The highly accurate “S-TTL” Auto mode of INON Z-240/D-2000/S-2000 is supported when connecting via INON "Optical D Cable Type L / Double Hole Rubber Bush Set" products below.(*2)(*3)(*4)
(*1)
Contact Olympus Imaging Corp. for detail of camera/protector. INON Inc. confirms product compatibility based on a camera/housing available in Japan.
(*2)
Usable only when bundled flash of the E-M5 is set to “Fill-in flash”.
INON strobe is not compatible with Olympus “wireless RC flash system”.
(*3)
When using S-2000/Z-240/D-2000 in [Manual] or [External Auto] mode, set Advanced Cancel Circuit to OFF and set camera’s flash mode to “Manual”. Using “Fill-in flash” of the camera limits operation of S-2000/Z-240/D-2000 in [Manual] mode when selected flash output is beyond -1.5E.V. or in [External Auto] when actual flash output is beyond -1.5E.V.
(*4)
Olympus PT-EP08 has fiber optics adapters for underwater use and above listed INON fiber optics product is directly plugged in the adapter.
■ Lens System Compatibility with E-M5 / PT-EP08 (*1) ■
By using combination of dedicated lens port "PPO-EP01" and macro lens adapter "PMLA-EP01" for the PT-EP08, below listed INON M67 Mount series close-up lenses are compatible.
(*5)
A wide conversion lens is not compatible due to master lens specification.
(*6)
Only usable underwater with zoom setting from middle to telephoto side. Using on land or zoom wide end setting underwater will have vignetting.
■ Lens Port System Compatibility with E-M5 / PT-EP08 (*1) ■
Attaching the Micro Four Thirds adapter "MMF-3" on the E-M5, port adapter "PAD-EP08" and port extension ring "PER-E01" on the PT-EP08 enables to use "ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F3.5 Fisheye" or "ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50mm F2.0 Macro" in INON E-SYSTEM port.
[ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F3.5 Fisheye compatible system]
Uses same multi-coated optical glass which has been proven for its quality for INON X1 and X-2 system to provides sharp images.
Dedicated Shade Sponge is packaged to prevent the bundled flash to expose on an image supporting high contrast imaging.
Dome Port standalone weighs approx. 565g, 747g with the Shade 2 helps you easy and comprotable handling both underwater and on land.
(*7)
Package product with "Shade 2" which protects accidental damage on the dome surface in addition to block unnecessary light to suppress flare/ghost. So it is recommended to attach the protector all the time.
(*8)
A shade sponge when using ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm F3.5 Fisheye for E-M5 / PT-EP08. Attach this shade sponge on a particular part on the "Dome Port Olympus" / "Dome Port Olympus+Shade 2 Set" to suppress exposure of the bundled flash light.
[ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50mm F2.0 Macro compatible system]
The INON unique MRS (Magnetic Rotary System) port (*12) uses magnet ring on a lens instead of a mechanical gear and focusing is controlled only by rotating a "MRS Control Ring" on a lens port by magnetic attraction supporting comfortable focusing.
The port lens is multi-coated optical lens to provide high quality images.
The port edge has 67mm screw mount to hold INON M67 Mount series close-up lens "UCl-330" or "UCL-165M67" directly.
(*9)
Without MRS Magnet Ring for those who use Auto Focus only.
Can be upgraded to MRS Olympus 50 Port with optional "MRS Magnet Ring(60/60II/100UII/100UIII/Olympus 50)"
(*10)
Optional MRS Magnet Ring Olympus 50 Set is required when manually control focusing.
(*11)
When installing, first set the camera/lens only in the housing then attach the MRS Magnet Ring Olympus 50 Set on the lens from housing front side and attach combined lens port on the housing.
(*12)
Patented in Japan(No.3714742) and the U.S. (No.5,822,622).
■ Arm System Compatibility with E-M5 / PT-EP08 (*1) ■
The "Grip Base M1" is a base arm specifically designed for midsize underwater housing for micro four thirds digital SLR. The Grip Base M1 is firmly attached on a housing with two tripod screws and equipped legs on the base provides stable placement of combined housing. Wide variety of INON adapters/bases is compatible with the Grip Base M1 and easy to set-up multiple lighting system with dual strobe configuration by attaching extra "D Holder".
The compact light arm "Shoe Base" is directly attached on the housing accessory shoe.
(*13)
When attaching single strobe/LED flashlight only on the underwater housing accessory-shoe via Shoe Base, camera system weighs about 30g/1.1oz. only. So using other optional accessory or atacing a balance weight would be recommended to get appropriate underwater weight for the sake of safety.
(*14)
The D Holder of the Grip Base D4 is for left side use only. When attaching on the right hand side of the housing, the D Holder part may be touched on the back of your right hand.
