RDX-450D & Optical Viewfinder

[hwa0421]

I have RDX-450D housing & it's come with 0.5x Optical Viewfinder.
I don't have problem for WA but for macro shooting I think it's better without 0.5x.

So Question is, Is it safe (flooding) If I unscrew & remove this Optical viewfinder and take underwater?
or shoud I buy another 0.8x viewfinder?

HI ej-
You can remove the viewfinder if you prefer, it is not necessary to keep the watertight integrity of the housing. It simply unscrews counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise). We would recommend testing this prior to diving to make sure you prefer it without magnification.
