Compatible with the YS optical covertor S1

* The Sony original adapter "ADP-MAA" is required separately for the connection of camera and optical YS converter.

With the "Buoyancy Pocket" (*1) the downforce is reduced by approx. 240 g (*2). The pocket can also be used as a place for an additional battery pack (*3).
- *1) Dimensions: 100x63x24 mm
- *2) Compared to MDX-5D Mark lV, 240 g lighter under the following conditions: MDX-?7lV + SEL90M28 + Focus Gear + DX Macro Port 87 (underwater weight: 700 g).

- The "port lock" prevents the port from rotating or loosening, and the port lock lever is specially positioned to prevent accidental unlocking.
- The housing is equipped with a lens release button that allows for easy lens replacement without opening the housing.
