Underwaterhousing Ikelite
The Ikelite underwaterhousing for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT3 is specially made for this camera and its follower the FT4. The housing is 60 meter waterproof.
All functions of the camera can be controlled with the housing. Personally, I think this is not a userfriendly housing. The control buttons regularly stuck, especially at deeper dives. Even after maintanance there is no improvement.

The external flashlight contributes to more colourfull pictures. The external flashlight and -lamp are easily controlled under water and very user friendly.
