Overview

The Canon WP-DC54 Waterproof Case is engineered specifically for photographers who want to take their Canon PowerShot G7X beneath the surface. Rated to 130 feet (39.6 meters), it provides robust protection against water pressure, allowing confident use during snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, and other aquatic adventures. The housing is molded from clear polycarbonate, offering durability while keeping the camera's rear LCD fully visible so you can compose shots and review images without removing the camera from the case.

The flat glass lens port features an anti-reflection coating that reduces glare and maintains optical clarity, helping preserve the G7X's image quality even in challenging underwater lighting conditions. Mechanical controls built into the housing give access to all essential camera functions — zoom, shutter, mode dial, and menu navigation — with the exception of the touchscreen panel. For lighting, the built-in camera flash can be used through the case with a diffuser, and an external strobe connector lets you attach dedicated underwater strobes for better illumination at depth. A cold shoe mount on top of the housing provides a secure attachment point for additional accessories such as video lights or handles, making the WP-DC54 a complete underwater shooting solution for the G7X.
