A main black O-ring is located on the back side of the housing and a secondary white O-ring is seated in a groove on the front part. Two O-rings minimize the chance of a leak, in case there&#8217;s a fault in one of the O-rings. In the unlikely event of a flood, your housing will immediately started blinking and beeping, letting you know there&#8217;s a problem.<\/p>\n<p>The ring dial of the Sony RX100 V, located on around the lens, is controlled by a large knob on the left side of the housing, easily accessible with your left hand. The rear dial is control by a small spinning knob, which can be operated with the right thumb only, but easier to handle with two fingers, while holding the housing with your left hand.<\/p>\n<p>All other controls are well within reach, positioned in the most natural way, with the real user in mind. Everything in this housing, from the location of the buttons to the thumbrests on the back, was based on rigorous testing and user feedback, to make sure the result is as intuitive as possible.<\/p>\n<p><div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7146 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00022.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00022-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Fantasea FRX100 IV back\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00022-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00022-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00022-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00022-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00022.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00262.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00262-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Fantasea FRX100 IV top\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00262-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00262-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00262-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00262-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00262.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00112.jpg' class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00112-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Fantasea FRX100 IV bottom\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00112-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00112-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00112-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00112-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/FRX100IV_00112.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_7067\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7067\" style=\"width: 2500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7067\" src=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4361.jpg\" alt=\"Stingray in Gardens of the Queen, Cuba\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4361.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4361-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4361-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4361-1024x693.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stingray in Gardens of the Queen, Cuba<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<h2>Included Accessories<\/h2>\n<p>Fantasea includes several accessories with the housing:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diffuser<\/strong> &#8211;

Most cameras offer AF-S and AF-C, which determine Single shot AF or Continuous, but the magical AF-A determines Automatically which method would be best for each shot, and acts accordingly. The result is that a moving subject would automatically be tracked and followed, for optimal focus, while a static subject would allow you to half-press and compose easily without losing focus.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7048\" src=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4421.jpg\" alt=\"Hogfish in Gardens of the Queen - Sony RX100 Mark V Underwater\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4421.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4421-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4421-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4421-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC4421-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whichever method I chose, focusing was lightning fast in almost any conditions.

It practically feels as if you&#8217;re using a DSLR!<\/p>\n<p>I was shooting mostly JPG&#8217;s while testing the RX100 V, since Adobe hasn&#8217;t released RAW support for it yet at the time of testing (It is supported now!). Even when shooting JPG, colors were deep and vibrant straight off the camera, with little post processing required.<\/p>\n<p>I did shoot several RAW images, but could only really work on them after Adobe released their support.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7179\" src=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC38401.jpg\" alt=\"Sony RX100 V With Fantasea FRX100 IV Housing and UWL-09 Lens\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC38401.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC38401-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC38401-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC38401-1024x645.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Macro Shooting<\/h2>\n<p>Even though the RX100 V&#8217;s zoom is slightly limited, with a focal range of only 24-70mm, the camera is still fantastic for macro photography, especially when paired with a good sharp close-up lens (diopter). What it lacks in magnification, it makes up for with sharp focus and high MP count, which allow you to crop the image later on and fill the frame with your subject, while still maintaining a hi-res image.<\/p>\n<p>The iconic focusing system is a huge help for the actual shooting, and while with most cameras I usually get a mediocre ratio of sharp images out of a set, with the RX100 V I find the ratio to be much higher, and I get 80% of my macro shots perfectly in focus, even with small critters.<\/p>\n<p>One of the lenses which I found that works very well on this bundle, is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/id4622-backscatter-ff-mm5.html\">Backscatter Macromate<\/a> for GoPro. Since it&#8217;s a 55mm thread, it fits straight on the housing, no adapters needed. It&#8217;s very strong as it is a +15 and still allows a reasonable working distance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> <em>Fantasea&#8217;s new housing, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.housingcamera.com\/id4834-fantasea-1507-housing-4-sony-rx100-iii-iv-v.html\"><strong>FRX100V<\/strong><\/a>, includes a <strong>67mm port built in<\/strong>, instead of the older 55mm port. So the Macromate is no longer a good choice for it, but rather the dedicated 67mm close up lenses.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve included a few samples taken with the <a
