The camera loads into the front and film changing is easily done without removing the camera. The housing is quickly secured using two large over centre catches. The controls are all oversized and ribbed for ease of use in cold water or when using gloves. There's also a viewfinder and top plate illuminator button. Hand grips are slotted to reduce weight and provide mounting points for strobe systems.
All controls fall easily to hand.
Along the housing underside are anti skid pads and three tripod sockets for mounting accessories. Nexus have spent a lot of time on details. To make it easier to change functions the exposure compensator, metering pattern and metering mode buttons gently screw down. This selects the function you want to change and holds it for you leaving you free to easily change the command dial. The housing is equipped with two TTL Nikonos type flash connectors which link to a user changeable hot shoe connector.
