Underwater photographers rely on the diversity of the environment to push their art to its limits, and not just underwater. With the introduction of the Nikon Z7 and Z6, the full-frame mirrorless camera market has important new competitors to push the segment even further. Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Z7 and Z6 offer underwater photographers the same legendary Nikon sensors with the versatility of an electronic viewfinder and the more compact form factor of a mirrorless system. The NA-Z7V supports both the Z6 and Z7 models and features the larger M28 bulkhead that supports HDMI 2.0 connections required for the Atomos Ninja V recorder/monitor. The Nikon Z6 and Z7 cameras For many full-frame Nikon photographers, the appeal of a mirrorless camera was tempered by the thought of having to invest in and master a new system by switching to another ecosystem like Sony. For those who were waiting for a mirrorless system that utilises Nikon's image processing technology and ergonomics, the wait is over. The Z6 and Z7 cameras have an identical body, differing only in features - an ideal feature when it comes to housing the camera for underwater use. Both camera bodies are built around the new Z-mount. With an incredibly large mount diameter of 55 mm (17% larger than F-mount) and a very short flange distance, the Z-mount offers a maximum aperture of F0.95. While the current selection of Z-mount lenses is limited, almost the entire range of F-mount lenses can be used with the optional FTZ adapter. When using the adapter, lenses without VR also benefit from the in-camera stabilisation. VR and Z-mount lenses get 5-axis stabilisation, while non-VR F-mount lenses have 3-axis stabilisation. There is also a special e-VR (electronic VR) that combines optical and electronic stabilisation for video recording. Both the Z6 and Z7 can internally record UHD 4K at 30 frames per second or 1080 HD at up to 120 frames per second at 144 Mbps. Recording utilises the full width of the sensor and both cameras are capable of outputting UHD 4K in 10-bit N-log via HDMI, supporting start/stop control. The electronic OLED viewfinder (EVF) of the Z6 and Z7 offers 100% image coverage at Quad VGA resolution (3.69 million dots). When triggering external flashes, both cameras have a 1/200 X-Sync shutter speed. Nikon Z7 Camera The Z7 has a high-resolution 45.7MP FX-format sensor that allows shooting at up to 9 FPS. The Z7 offers a wide ISO range of 64-25,600 and autofocus is achieved with 493 on-sensor AF points covering 90% of the frame. The camera intelligently switches between contrast and phase detection points to achieve precise focusing regardless of lighting conditions. Main features of the camera: 45.7MP FX format sensor without OLPF Continuous shooting at 9 FPS 64-25,600 ISO range UHD 4K 30p recording without FOV crop 10bit UHD 4K N-log output via HDMI with start/stop support 5-axis VR stabilisation (with Z-lenses) 8K time-lapse with exposure smoothing CF Express ready (currently supports XQD) Nikon Z6 Camera The Z6 is equipped with a 24.5 MP FX-format sensor that allows continuous shooting at up to 12 FPS and an ISO range of 100-51,200. Videos are recorded internally at up to UHD 4K 30p without cropping the field of view. 273 on-sensor focus points cover 90% of the subject and the Z 6 intelligently switches between contrast and phase detection points to ensure precise autofocus. Main features of the camera: 24.5MP FX-format sensor with OLPF 12 FPS continuous shooting ISO range 100-51,200 UHD 4K 30p recording without FOV crop 10bit N-log UHD 4K output via HDMI with start/stop support 5-axis VR stabilisation (with Z-mount lenses) 4K time-lapse CF Express ready (currently only XQD) The Nauticam NA-Z7V underwater housing Nauticam has produced a variety of housings for Nikon DSLR cameras and is not new to the mirrorless format. Nauticam has developed housings for full-frame, APS-C and MFT mirrorless cameras from various camera manufacturers. The NA-Z7V, just like Nikon's Z6/7 cameras, is an evolutionary step in underwater housings that seamlessly combine the Nikon F-mount and the new Z-mount in one housing. F- and Z-mount support The Nauticam NA-Z7V body not only allows the use of the new Z-mount Nikon glass, but also F-mount lenses with the Nikon FTZ adapter. This is crucial as the new Z-mount lenses will be phased in over the next few years. The Nauticam NA-Z7V body has two lens release buttons suitable for either F- or Z-mount lenses. When switching between F-mount and Z-mount lenses, the camera must be removed from the housing to remove the adapter. If you are using the F- or Z-mount system, use the appropriate lens release button to change the lens without removing the camera from the body. A vacuum reset switch is also located under the tray so that the back of the housing does not need to be opened when changing lenses or adapters. Intelligent operation Nauticam's engineers are obsessed with functionality, which is evident in the placement of the essential controls.  Regardless of where the controls are located on the camera, the Nauticam housing puts them where you need them underwater.  For those switching between photo and video modes, there is an easy-to-reach switch on the right rear of the housing.  The right double thumb lever, easily reached from the right grip, gives access to the AF-on or Record button.  Between the double thumb lever and the multi-step shutter release is an ISO lever that allows quick changes in sensitivity. The left double tick lever provides access to the DISP and playback controls.  The zoom in and zoom out controls on the right rear of the camera housing are on the left side of the housing and are in a location more familiar to Nauticam housing users. The switch that toggles between the LCD display and the electronic viewfinder, an important and widely used control with mirrorless systems, is within easy reach near the left grip.   Front and rear controls are easily accessible via the familiar large knurled wheels on the right handle.  The ergonomic housing handles are rubberised and feature stainless steel stiffening brackets to ensure a stable platform when using large strobes or video lights attached to the pre-installed 1-inch ball heads. Z7 mit 60mm Makro Flash release The NA-Z7 comes with Nauticam's self-powered manual flash trigger pre-installed.  The flash trigger plugs into the camera's hot shoe and uses LED lights inserted into each of the two optical bulkheads to trigger assisted underwater flashes when used with the correct fibre optic connector.  The flash trigger is powered by button cell batteries that provide thousands of flashes per battery.  The flash trigger can be upgraded to support TTL triggering (NA26308). HDMI video output The Z7 camera supports 10-bit HDMI video output with UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) at up to 30p.  An external monitor or recorder can be used with the optional standard M16 HDMI socket (NA25033), HDMI (D-C) cable in 190mm length (NA25036), which is included as standard in every Nauticam monitor housing. The NA-Z7V also has an M24 socket that supports HDMI 2.0 output.  Atomos and Nikon have announced that video output via HDMI 2.0 from the Nikon Z6 and Z7 can be captured in Apple ProRes RAW format on the Ninja V monitor/recorder.  Currently, footage can be recorded in high quality ProRes 4:2:2 10-bit 30p UHD 4K when used with the Ninja V using the Nauticam NA-Ninja V housing with HDMI 2.0 cable PN 25085.

THE CANON EOS R5C CAMERA The Canon EOS R5C is the latest in Canon's full-frame mirrorless camera lineup which has gained unprecedented demand.  It features the RF lens mount which has the same large 54mm diameter but the ability to have larger rear lens elements that are closer to the sensor gives increased corner and outer edge sharpness.  The R5C uses an all new 45MP CMOS sensor with in-body image stabilization which can reduce shake by up to 8 stops.  The camera's Dual Pixel autofocus system uses 1053 autofocus points across the entire frame.   It is also capable of recording 8K video at 24p or 30p and 4K at up to 120p.   The EOS R5C can also use the large EF-mount lens lineup via three optional adapters, a simple EF to R adapter, one which supports the customizable control ring and another that features a drop-in filter mount. Key Camera Specifications 45MP full-frame Dual Pixel CMOS sensor 8K Video, with option for RAW or 10-bit 4:2:2 C-log or HDR PQ Up to 4K/120p, or oversampled 4K up to 30p 100% coverage Dual Pixel II AF system 12 fps / 20 fps burst (mechanical / electronic shutter) 5.76M-dot OLED EVF with 120fps max refresh rate 3.2" 2.1M-dot fully articulating touchscreen 10-bit HDR photos in HEIF format 1x CFExpress slot, 1x UHS-II SD slot Weather sealing   THE NAUTICAM NA-R5C UNDERWATER HOUSING FOR THE CANON EOS R5C CAMERA The NA-R5C underwater housing follows suit with Nauticam's drive for innovation. Both the Canon EOS R5C and EOS R present shooters with the ability to use both the available legacy EF lenses via an adapter in addition to their native RF optics.  To support both the legacy and native lenses, Nauticam has integrated the NA-R5 into the N120 port system. Canon's EF to RF mount adapters can be affixed to the camera before insertion into the housing. When using the EOS RC5 inside the housing with the adapter and a supported EF lens, the port and extension ring arrangement will be identical to the same setup on a Nauticam Canon N120 DSLR. As the RF lens lineup emerges, dedicated port and extension ring combinations will be listed on the Port Chart. Two lens release buttons, one for RF and one for EF lenses used with the optional Canon adapter, are located on the front of the housing to make lens removal through the port opening simple. Mission Control Nauticam engineers are obsessed with getting the underwater image maker unfettered access to all the necessary controls, with as many within easy reach of the ergonomic rubberized handles. This Mission Control philosophy extends to the NA-R5C where a dual thumb lever and dual sub-lever are placed by the right handle. The upper thumb lever activates the "AF-On" and the lower the "Q" buttons while the sub-lever corresponds to the "M-Fn" and "Record" buttons. Near the left handle is a thumb lever for "Playback" as well as a dedicated switch to change from using LCD to the EVF. Large knurled and rubberized control dials access the camera's "main" and "sub" command dials. The two-stage trigger allows for smooth focus and firing activation. Additional buttons for "Menu", "Focus Point Selection" and others are also easily reached from the handles. An additional control wheel is located on the left side of the housing and will interface with the control ring on the supported EF to EOS R Mount Adapter with Control Ring using the optional gear (NA19561). Flash Triggering Flash triggering is achieved via one of two optional Flash Triggers, a manual LED trigger (NA26301) or a TTL Flash Trigger (NA26321) that use the built-in fiber optic bulkheads with optional fiber-optic cables to trigger supported strobes. For controlling strobes that do not support fiber optic flash triggering, a variety of legacy hot-shoe flash control bulkheads are available. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection electronics are shipped with the NA-R5C as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

The long awaited Sony a7S III brings high frame-rate 4K video with incredible low-light sensitivity to the A7 full frame mirrorless lineup. The video-centric follow up to the a7S II adds internal 10-bit 4:2:2 4K capture at up to 120fps while building on the a7S II's already segment leading low-light capabilities. Upgrades also extend to the 9.44M dot OLED viewfinder, 759-point phase detection autofocus and reduced rolling shutter. THE SONY ALPHA  A7S III CAMERA Built around a new 12.1MP Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor coupled with a BIONZ XR image processor, the a7S III is a powerful video oriented mirrorless full-frame camera. The long awaited follow up to the a7 SII, which set the standard for low-light capabilities in the full-frame mirrorless segment, brings not only improvements to that key spec but also a host of other notable upgrades. Key Camera Specs 12.1MP Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor ISO sensitivity of 40-409600 4K Video Capture at up to 120fps Internal recording at up to 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling No recording time limit 16-bit raw video output over HDMI-A 759-Point phase-detection autofocus with 92% coverage Dual UHS-II card slots S-Log2/3 or HLG/BT.2020 gamma curves 5.5 Stop IBIS The new sensor features 759 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection autofocus points that cover approximately 92% of the image area and promises sensitivity down to -6 EV.

Video can be recorded in either All-I XAVC S-I at up to 600Mbps or XAVC HS which uses H.265 compression for smaller file sizes. Internal 4K recording uses 1:1 pixel readout at up to 120fps with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling. The a7S III offers extensive color customization including the S-Log2 and S-Log3 gamma curves that can deliver 15+ stops of dynamic range. HLG and BT.2020 color spaces are also available. Recording time limits have been removed and improved heat dissipation has been added to the camera body's design. Internal recording is to UHS-II rated dual card slots that support CFexpress Type A or SD cards. External recording of 16-bit raw video is possible via the full size HDMI port when used with compatible Recorders. NAUTICAM NA-A7SIII UNDERWATER HOUSING Nauticam is the leader in producing intuitively designed precision manufactured aluminum underwater housings for the Sony a7 camera line and continues to innovate with the new NA-A7SIII housing.  The NA-A7SIII is designed to maximize the video-centric capabilities of the Sony a7S III camera while maintaining it's strong still image potential.  The NA-A7SIII is built around the N100 port system that is shared with the rest of the Nauticam housing lineup for the Sony full-frame mirrorless a7 series.  The N100 system includes a dull range of both macro and wide-angle ports as well as delivering access to the lineup of Nauticam's professional wet optics that are optimized for underwater imaging such as the WACP-1/2 and the SMC-1/2 lenses.  These optics deliver unparalleled image quality underwater expanding what is possible with the powerful a7S III camera. HDMI Output The a7S III can output 16-bit raw video signal over HDMI and the NA-A7SIII features an M24 bulkhead that supports the HDMI 2.0 standard.  This allows the NA-A7SIII to be used in conjunction with either a recording monitor such as the Atomos Ninja V in the NA-NinjaV housing  via HDMI 2.0 or standalone monitors such as the SmallHD 502 Bright in the NA-502B housings via HDMI 1.4.   Optional Magnifying Viewfinder The a7S III camera features an updated 9.44M-dot OLED viewfinder with a 120fps refresh rate.  Nauticam's line of optional magnifying viewfinders, available in both an angled 45º (32203) or straight 180º (NA32201) configuration provide enhanced viewing ability as well as a dioptric adjustment knob that can used underwater.  Installation can be achieved without tools in less than a minute.   Mission Control Nauticam engineer's Mission Control design philosophy means controls are intuitively placed where they are needed most regardless of their position on the camera.  The NA-A7SIII features a double thumb lever within easy reach of the right handle that triggers the AF-ON and RECORD controls of the camera.  A thumb lever on the left side toggles the PLAYBACK button.  The back panel of the housing provides access to all other rear camera controls including a multidirectional pad. Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-A7SIII as standard equipment. With the addition of the optional M14 Vacuum Valve (NA25624) this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

The Z 7II and Z 6II, Nikon's next generation full-frame mirrorless cameras, offer underwater shooters the same legendary Nikon sensors with improved autofocus and continuous shooting speed performance. The NA-Z7II supports both the Z 7II and Z 6II models and features the larger-bore M28 bulkhead that supports HDMI 2.0 connections needed for the Atomos Ninja V Recorder/Monitor. THE NIKON Z 6II AND Z 7II CAMERAS For many full-frame Nikon shooters the appeal of a mirrorless camera had been tempered by the thought of having to invest in and master a new system by moving to another ecosystem such as Sony. For those awaiting a mirrorless system that utilized Nikon imaging technology and ergonomics, the wait is over. The Z 6II and Z 7II cameras feature an identical body, differing only in their feature sets, an ideal feature when it comes to housing the camera for underwater use.  Each camera also features dual EXPEED 6 image processor to significantly improve autofocus and continuous speed shooting.   Both camera bodies are built around Nikon's Z-mount. With an incredibly wide 55mm mount diameter (17% larger than F-mount) and very short flange distance, the Z-mount is able to offer a maximum aperture of F0.95. While the current range of Z-mount lenses continues to grow, almost the entire line of F-mount lenses is usable with the optional Nikon FTZ Adapter. When using the adapter, even non VR lenses benefit from the camera's in-body stabilization. VR and Z-Mount lenses receive 5-axis stabilization whereas non-VR F-mount lenses have access to 3-axis stabilization. There is also a dedicated e-VR (electronic VR) that combines optical and electronic stabilization for video shooting. Both the Z 6II and Z 7II will be able to capture internal UHD 4K at 60fps or 1080 HD at up to 120fps.  The Z 6II will be able to record 4K/60P early in 2021 through an expected firmware update.  In addition to N-Log, both cameras also feature HLG (hybrid-log gamma for HDR) which work in 10-bit 4:2:2 over HDMI 2.0 to an external recorder such as the Ninja V.   The OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) of both the Z 6II and Z 7II gives 100% frame coverage at Quad-VGA (3.69M dot) resolution. When triggering external flashes, both cameras feature a 1/200 X-sync shutter speed. THE NIKON Z 7II CAMERA The Z 7II features a high resolution 45.7MP FX-format sensor that can shoot at up to 10FPS. The Z 7II features a wide ISO range of 64-25,600. Autofocus is achieved with 493 on-sensor AF points that cover 90% of the frame and the camera intelligently switches between contrast-detection and phase-detection points to achieve accurate focus regardless of light conditions.

Both the Nikon Z 6II and Z 7II present shooters with the ability to use both the available legacy F Mount lenses via the FTZ adapter in addition to their native Z Mount optics.  To support both the legacy and native lenses, Nauticam has integrated the NA-Z7II into the N120 port system.  This is critical as the new Z mount lenses are being phased in over the next few years. The Nauticam NA-Z7II housing features two lens release buttons that correspond to either F or Z mount lenses. When switching between F and Z mount lenses, the camera must be removed from the housing to remove the adapter. When working within either the F or Z mount system use the appropriate lens release button to switch lenses without having to remove the camera from the housing. A vacuum system reset switch is located below the tray as well so there is no need to open the rear of the housing during lens or port changes. The NA-Z7II is part of the N120 port system which allows for full support of Nikon F mount lenses with the same ports needed for their application on Nikon SLR housings. As more Z mount lenses become available Nauticam will add supported configurations. INTELLIGENT CONTROL PLACEMENT Nauticam engineers are obsessed with functionality and this is evident in the location of essential controls. Regardless of where the control is located on the camera, the Nauticam housing puts them where you need them to be underwater. For those switching between photo and video modes, an easily reachable switch is located on the right rear of the housing. The right side double thumb lever, easily reached from the right handle features access to the AF-on and Record buttons respectively. Between the double thumb lever and the multi-stage shutter release is an ISO lever allowing quick changes to sensitivity. The left double thumb lever accesses the DISP and Playback controls. The Zoom In and Zoom Out controls, located on the right rear of the camera body is relocated to the left side of the housing to a location more familiar to Nauticam housing users. The switch that allows for switching between the LCD display and the EVF, a crucial and much used control with mirrorless systems is located close to the left handle within easy reach. Front and rear control dials are readily accessible by the familiar large knurled dials at the right handle. The ergonomic housing handles are rubberized and feature stainless steel stiffening brackets to ensure a stable platform when using large strobes or video lights attached to the pre-installed 1" mounting balls. FLASH TRIGGERING The NA-Z7II comes with Nauticam's self powered manual flash trigger preinstalled. The flash trigger plugs into the hot-shoe of the camera and uses LED lights recessed into each of the two optical bulkheads to trigger supported underwater flashes when used with the correct fiber optic connection. The flash trigger is powered by coin cell batteries that provide thousands of flashes per battery. The flash trigger can be upgraded to support TTL triggering (PN 26308 TTL Converter for Nikon). INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-Z7II as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory M16 vacuum valve (PN 25625), this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS Optical performance is just as necessary as camera performance and this becomes even more critical given the challenges of filming underwater. The Nauticam NA-Z7II uses the same N120 Port System as the previous NA-Z7 which makes for a seamless transition for those upgrading to the "II." While this system provides exceptional optical-glass and flat port solutions for a wide variety of F and Z Mount lenses, the real power of the Z 6II and Z 7II can be realized using Nauticam's Water Contact Optics. This lineup of dry and wet lenses are conceived using commercial lens-design software to achieve truly unparalleled underwater image quality both for stills and video in both macro and wide-angle situations. The WACP-1 and WACP-2 achieve ultra-wide 130º fields-of-view with reduced distortion over conventional optics while featuring ~0" minimum focus distances, zoom through capabilities and unbeatable corner sharpness at even wide-open apertures such as F5.6. The SMC-1 and SMC-2 macro wet-optics, when used with the Nikon 105mm f/2.8G VR macro lens provide 2x and 4x magnification respectively and the SMC-1 actually provides a resulting image with increased contrast and sharpness than the 105mm lens itself can achieve in air without a magnifier.

THE CANON EOS-5D MARK IV 5D Mark IV is the embodiment of a hybrid camera system, providing compelling feature sets for still photo and video capture underwater. Never before has there been a camera that excels so well at both disciplines. Still photographers will love the 61 point autofocus system shared with 1DX Mark II for its fast acquisition and reliable tracking of moving subjects. The new 30 megapixel sensor with on chip analog-to-digital conversion offers plenty of resolution with high dynamic range capture ideal for pulling shadow and mid-tone detail out of strongly backlit images. The 5D Mark IV motion capture feature set might provide even more motivation to upgrade! Previous 5D versions were acclaimed for their faithful color representation in a wide range of underwater shooting scenarios. 5D Mark IV still has that unmatched “Canon Color”, and is now Capable of recording 4K at 30 fps with usable autofocus thanks to the Canon Dual Pixel AF system. Canon 5D Mark IV Key Specifications New 30.4MP CMOS full-frame sensor with Dual Pixel AF DCI 4K 30/24p video using Motion JPEG + 4K Frame Grab 61-point AF system with 41 cross-type sensors (center point sensitive to -3 EV) Dual Pixel AF (sensitive to -4EV) for continuous Servo AF in stills (first for a full-frame Canon camera) and video ISO 100-32000 (expandable to 102400) 7 fps continuous shooting Dual Pixel Raw (image microadjustment, bokeh shift, ghosting reduction) 150,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor 1.62M-dot 3.2″ full-time touchscreen Wi-Fi w/ NFC + GPS Built-in bulb timer interval timers Improved weather-sealing THE NAUTICAM NA-5DMKIV UNDERWATER HOUSING While physically extremely similar to the 5D Mark III and 5DS cameras that came before it, small dimensional changes in the Mark IV body forced a new housing design. The core control layout, proven by generations of existing housings in the field, is retained here. This design consistency results in immediate familiarity with the control layout for people that have used Nauticam housings before, and a thoroughly refined and field tested design for newcomers to the brand. The new Nauticam NA-5DMIV housing incorporates technology from the Nauticam housings that came before it, but features enhanced ergonomics, more and better control access, and reduced size/weight thanks to cutting edge manufacturing processes. SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS: Flash Triggering Dual Nikonos Bulkheads Pre-Installed Replacement O-Ring 90134 Vacuum System Pre-installed FLASH FIRING The NA-5DMKIV Housing comes standard with twin Nikonos flash connectors for electrical strobe triggering. An optional LED flash trigger is available for rapid fire optical triggering (manual power), and a new TTL Flash Trigger enables automatic flash exposure with compatible strobes. The Nauticam TTL Flash Trigger is an ideal accessory for the still photographer. This hotshoe mounted optical flash trigger provides automatic TTL Flash when used with Inon S-TTL and Sea & Sea DS-TTL Strobes connected by fiber optic cables. The TTL trigger also offers manual triggering, including rear curtain sync, with any compatible slave strobe. Accurate automatic TTL flash exposure has been a favorite feature of Nauticam photographers using cameras with pop up flashes, and the TTL Trigger unlocks this feature set in the NA-5DMKIV Housing. Powered by a single Canon NB-13L rechargeable battery, the TTL Trigger provides approximately 150 full power flashes. New in NA-5DMKIV, a window allows the flash trigger status LED to be clearly viewed, and the housing features a power button. This LED provides important status info, and the power button allows the trigger to be activated underwater. Optical TTL Strobe Compatibility: Inon S-2000, D-2000, and Z-240 Sea & Sea YS-D1, YS-D2, and YS-01 EASE OF USE No competing system is easier to assemble or break down. The camera drops into the housing with a quick release camera tray. No controls need to be preset, as housing functions for dials and switches align automatically (on/off, af-m, still photo/video). The large 120mm housing port opening allows even the largest popular pro Canon wide angle lens (11-24mm f/4) to be used, and the camera can even be mounted in the housing with this large lens attached. VIEWFINDERS The standard optical glass viewfinder is very good and travel friendly, but many photographers prefer the ease of a magnified viewfinder with adjustable diopter. Nauticam produces a “straight” 180º enlarging viewfinder and a 45º angled enlarging viewfinder to enhance the ease of close quarters work often associated with macro shooting. Both viewfinders have high quality optics, and allow bright viewing of the entire image. A patented external dioptric adjustment allows personal adjustment to a sharp-as-a-tack standard underwater and viewfinder changes can be executed in less than 30 seconds without using tools. Exceptional composition and focus accuracy have never been more accessible. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS Experienced shooters know a camera is only as good as the lens in front of it, and the same is true when choosing optics for an underwater camera system. Four optically coated glass dome ports (250mm, 230mm, 180mm, and 140mm diameters) and a series of acrylic ports support popular lenses from Canon, Sigma, and Tokina. Port configurations are extensively tested at Nauticam to determine the ideal extension ring length for best performance. For macro and super macro shooting, the Nauticam Super Macro Converter is a revolutionary accessory. This is an entirely in-house design, optimized for use in water. The water contact correction offers the highest overall sharpness, free from chromatic aberration and purple fringing, with reproduction ratios exceeding 2:1 when used with a EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-5DMKIV as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (PN 25625), this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

THE CANON EOS R3 CAMERA The Canon EOS R3 in all respects appears to be the mirrorless sibling of the 1DX Mark III DSLR, clearly aimed at fulfilling many of the same roles while offering some additional capabilities through the use of the electronic viewfinder and the larger RF lens mount.  The full-frame 24.1MP Stacked CMOS sensor, in addition to having incredible low-light performance, can also capture full-width 6K video in both Raw and compressed formats at up to 60fps.  The R3 is paired to Canon's industry leading Dual Pixel AF system with 100% frame coverage and the now revived Eye AF system. DUAL PIXEL AF II Canon's Dual Pixel autofocus system has long been a favorite of underwater users, especially when it comes to tacking subjects.  With the R3, the system adds an additional 'Animal' recognition mode which might make the system even more reliable at following moving subjects.  Frame coverage is 100% with 1053 zones to ensure accurate focus wherever the subject may be. LOW LIGHT PERFORMANCE The ability to increase a camera's ISO with little penalty is of critical importance to underwater shooters for both stills and video as shooting with higher F-stop values delivers sharper corners and higher shutter speeds mean less motion blur.  The higher video frame rates also benefit by allowing the shooter to maintain a 180º shutter while still maintaining adequate aperture values.  When using color correction filters, which can often remove more than a full stop of light, compensation via ISO is not as much of an issue for overall image quality.  Maintaining dynamic range, even at high ISO levels is also important for those shooting still images using natural light or in poor water conditions. ENHANCED CONTROLS The R3 features an additional control wheel located at the upper right rear of the camera which doubles as the mode control.  This wheel can be assigned a variety of functions such as ISO and is adjusted by a dedicated control wheel on the housing within easy reach of the right handle.   VIDEO CAPABILITIES The Canon R3 can capture 6K video at up to 60fps in either Raw or more compressed formats.  The 6K capture uses the full sensor width which means no loss in field-of-view.  12-bit 6K capture is possible in both uncompressed Canon Raw or compressed Raw light formats.  10-bit H.265 is also possible in both the HDR PQ and Canon Log3 gamma curves to maximize dynamic range for post processing while maintaining smaller file sizes than a Raw format.  It's also possible (when using supported cards) to simultaneously record 10-bit 4:2:2 DCI 4K 60p video.  For those looking for higher frame rates, 10-bit 4:2:2 compressed 4K/120fps can also be captured, downsampled from the full sensor width.  A natively sampled 4K S35 crop is also an option, allowing for more magnification or the use of APS-C lenses.  The R3 also outputs a clean 6K signal over HDMI via an HDMI Micro Type D connector.  Direct custom white balance in live view is also now possible, making a critical function for underwater video even easier. STABILIZATION The R3 features 5-axis In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) which can offer up to 8 stops of correction allowing for even smoother video and less camera movement related blur. LARGE ELECTRONIC VIEWFINDER The R3's EVF is an OLED 5.76M-dot that features an OVF simulation mode which leverages. the large dynamic range of the OLED screen to reproduce a scene the way it would look through an optical viewfinder.  The lower dynamic range of electronic viewfinders has always made them more difficult to use underwater, especially in high contrast or backlit scenes. This function can easily be switched on and off by assigning it to a custom function button.  When using the Electronic Shutter, which has an X-Sync speed of 1/180sec, the EVF delivers true no-blackout shooting up to 30fps.   Example setup THE NAUTICAM NA-R3 UNDERWATER HOUSING The Nauticam NA-R3 professional aluminum underwater housing for the Canon EOS R3 mirrorless full frame camera is a tru hybrid shooting solution, just as the R3 itself.  Nauticam has continuously supported both the Canon pro-level DSLR lineup as well as the growing full-frame RF-mount mirrorless cameras with innovative underwater housings and the new NA-R3 is the combination of all those technologies.  Blending elements of our 1D series housings with those for the R series, the NA-R3 will be the most capable housing for the R3 available. MISSION CONTROL Nauticam engineers design each housing to insure that controls are placed where they are needed most and within easy reach of a natural hand position.  The NA-R3 features large knurled control dials for the main and sub-command dials as well as an additional shoulder dial for the customizable control wheel of the R3.  A fourth control wheel, near the front of the left handle can articulate the ring of the optional EF-to-RF lens adapter when using EF lenses.  There is a dual thumb lever on the right side for Record and AF-ON as well as single levers for M-Fn and Fn2.  A lever on the left side actuates the Pv control which can change between exposure preview and OVF simulation modes on the EVF.  An additional dual thumb lever on the left side is for Playback and Magnification. HDMI 2.0 AND MOUNTING POINTS The R3 can output clean 6K 60p over HDMI and the NA-R3 features a large bore M24 bulkhead to support an HDMI 2.0 connection to an external monitor or recorder.  Mounting the monitor or recorder or other accessories is even easier with 3x 1/4"-20 mounting holes as well as an additional M10 mounting point atop the housing.  Check the resources sidebar for supported monitor/recorder housings and recommended accessories. FLASH TRIGGERING Flash triggering can be accomplished via the two included M14 electronic bulkheads (One is pre-installed in the M24 bulkhead via a removable M26-M14 adapter).  If using fiber-optic triggering, the built-in fiber optic bulkheads can be used with either the optional manual LED or TTL-flash triggers to provide the desired type of strobe power control. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS The NA-R3 is built around the N120 Canon RF-mount Port System which supports a wide array of Canon RF mount lenses with a selection of optical glass and acrylic ports.  With lens-removal controls for both EF and RF mount lenses, the NA-R3 can support both lens mount types without modification to the housing.  The EF-RF lens adapter is accommodated inside the housing which allows for the use of the N120 Canon EF-mount Port System without any additional extension rings.  When switching between an EF and RF lens, the camera must be removed to install or remove the adapter.  The Nauticam lineup of Premium Professional Optics can deliver unparalleled optical quality and expanded creative options. When used with the Canon RF 14-35 F/4 IL USM lens, the WACP-2 creates a stunning 140º field-of-view while maintaining an incredibly natural looking image and excellent corner sharpness.  The SMC-1 delivers 2.3x macro magnification to the RF 100mm macro lens while the SMC-2 delivers 3.3x. VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The housing comes with electronics pre-installed for Nauticam's Vacuum Check and Leak Detection system, requiring only the optional M16 Vacuum Valve (25625). This monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

THE NIKON Z9 MIRRORLESS FULL FRAME CAMERA Nikon's Z9 takes a divergent step from similar top-level mirrorless full frame systems from Sony and Canon by removing the mechanical shutter altogether. This departure, along with the powerful processor allow for the true no-blackout or 'Real-Live" electronic viewfinder (EVF). With a maximum 3,000nit brightness, the EVF promises an even more natural viewing experience similar to an optical viewfinder. The 'F3' button comes pre-set to remove all overlay data from the EVF for an unobstructed composition-focused workspace.  The Z9 is built around a 45.7MP stacked CMOS sensor with exceptional low light performance and 14-bit raw image capture.  The ISO range of the Z9 is 64 to 25,600 with expansion possible to 32-102,400.  The EXPEED 7 processor features advanced noise reduction to maximize image quality at even higher ISO values. AUTOFOCUS Nikon's autofocus has seen dramatic improvement with the Z series and Z9 continues that evolution with AF that works all the way down to -8.5EV (with supported lenses) and features advanced 3D subject tracking. Furthermore, the subject detection system can be set to auto-select the subject type such as animals or people. With over 400 points into auto-detect area, this is sure to deliver exceptional tracking across the frame. 8K VIDEO The EXPEED 7 processor also allows for 8K UHD 30p internal recording with advanced heat dissipation to prevent overheating with an 8K/60P Raw recording firmware update coming in 2022. 10-bit 4K UHD can also be recorded with full pixel readout or with a 2.3x crop factor, exceptional for getting even more macro magnification. The future firmware update will add 12-bit 8K/60p in either Nikon's RAW format or ProRes RAW HQ.  Internal recording is available in either H.265 (8-bit), H.265 (8,10-bit) or ProRes HQ 422 (10-bit) formats to support different workflows.  The Z9 is equipped with dual CFexpress Type-B card slots that also accommodate XQD media. THE NAUTICAM NA-Z9 UNDERWATER HOUSING The Nauticam NA-Z9 brings embodies the experience gained by producing professional housings for Nikon's flagship DSLR and mirrorless cameras, blending them to create the most intuitive underwater imaging platform available. F AND Z MOUNT COMPATIBLE The NA-Z9 uses the N120 Port System for Z-Mount full-frame lenses. When using F-mount lenses, the FTZ adapter is inside the housing which allows for the same port configuration as is found on an F-mount DSLR system such as the NA-D6 or NA-D850. Convenient lens release buttons on the housing for both F and Z mount makes lens changes a snap regardless of platform without having to remove the camera from the housing; only when installing or removing the FTZ adapter. MISSION CONTROL Essential control are placed within easy reach of the ergonomic handles and easy setup means more time in the water and less time working on your rig. Within easy reach of the ergonomic left handle are finger-actuated levers for the customizable 'Fn1' and 'Fn2' buttons as well as the AF-Mode button. A double thumb lever triggers the PLAYBACK and DISP buttons. On the right side is a double thumb lever for the AF-ON and REC control as well as recessed lever for ISO and a forward placed lever for the 'Fn1' button. HDMI OUTPUT As a true hybrid shooting platform the NA-Z9 is just as comfortable being outfitted to capture video as stills. External monitors and recorders can easily be connected via the large M24 bulkhead which supports both HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 connections. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS The NA-Z9 is built around the extensive N120 Port System that supports a wide range of F-Mount and Z-Mount lenses with a variety of acrylic and optical-glass port options. In addition to standard ports, Nauticam's premium professional water-contact optics deliver the highest possible underwater image quality. The WACP-2, when used with the Nikon Z 14-24mm lenses provides a stunning rectilinear 140º field-of-view and full zoom-through capability with an incredibly natural looking image when compared to a standard rectilinear lens and dome port combination.

THE OLYMPUS OM-D E-M10 MARK IV CAMERA The E-M10 lineup is distinguished by feature rich cameras that leverage the power of the MicroFourThirds system into a portable and economical solution. The Mark IV receives an upgraded 20.3MP FourThirds sensor that works with the wide array of open-source MicroFourThirds lenses and is paired with Olympus' latest TruePic VIII processor. Key Camera Specs: 20.3MP Live MOS Sensor  TruePic VIII Processor 121-point Contrast Detection Autofocus 2.36M dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder 4K 30p video capture The new processor and sensor means improved autofocus via the 121 contrast detection autofocus points.  This also results in better low-light performance at higher ISO values.  The Mark IV also features 5-axis in-body stabilization (IBIS) which allows for smoother video and sharper still images in challenging shooting environments such as those encountered during low light or macro situations. The Mark IV is truly a hybrid imaging platform with strong video and still image specifications. For video, the O-MD E-M10 Mark IV is able to capture 4K 30p video internally.  Using the pop-up flash over a fiber-optic connection and supported strobes allows for the use of the camera's automatic flash control (TTL).  THE NAUTICAM NA-EM10IV UNDERWATER HOUSING The Nauticam NA-EM10IV, similar to the E-M10 Mark IV, builds upon its predecessors to deliver the most intuitive and capable housing for the E-M10 line.  Taking advantage of the Mark IV's improved features requires a housing that places controls where you need them most and allows for the use of purpose built underwater optics. MISSION CONTROL DESIGN The NA-EM10IV is designed with Nauticam's Mission Control philosophy in mind.  Essential camera controls are placed where they are needed most.  The NA-EM10IV's design reflects the ultra-portable nature of the camera itself, making the housing system that's truly travel-friendly.  The housing ships with stainless steel stiffening brackets and shutter release extension that work with the optional Easitray II or Felxitray II handle systems to insure the resulting setup is a stable platform for the attachment of lighting or other accessories even when using large strobes or video lights.  The housing also features an M10 threaded mounting point atop the housing for additional flexibility. FLASH TRIGGERING The OM-D E-M10 Mark IV features an integrated pop-up flash capable of providing  either a manual or an automatic flash power control signal (TTL).  The Nauticam NA-EM10IV features built-in fiber optic bulkheads to support the use of the camera's TTL when used with supported strobes and fiber optic cables.  There's no need to pop-up the flash before inserting the camera into the housing as it can be engaged via a dedicated control atop the housing.  An optional electronic bulkhead with hotshoe connection is also available but does not support a TTL signal. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS The MicroFourThirds lens standard offers a wide variety of lenses to suit any imaging style and the NA-EM10IV's N85 port system offers port combinations for a large number of these lenses.  In addition to standard wide and macro combinations, the NA-EM10IV works with many of Nauticam's purpose built professional underwater optics such as the WWL-1/C and CMC-1/2.  When using a lens such as the Olympus 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Lens or ED 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ, the Nauticam WWL-1 provides a full zoom through ultra wide-angle 130º field of view which is wider than what is capable with a standard wide-angle lens behind a conventional dome port.  These optics are designed for in-water use and provide unparalleled image quality. VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The NA-EM10IV comes with Nauticam's vacuum check and leak detection system installed as standard equipment. With the addition of the optional M14 Vacuum Valve (25624) this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

Sony has been at the forefront of the mirrorless evolution, offering cameras with specifications that are truly geared towards meeting the disparate needs of today's image makers while maintaining a similar, if not almost identical form factor. With the a7R IV, Sony introduced the highest resolution full frame mirrorless camera to date and with the a9 II it took speed image quality to another level. Luckily, for those wishing to take their cameras underwater, the a7R IV and the a9 II have extremely similar body size and control placement. For this reason, Nauticam is offering the NA-a2020 housing that offer full support for both cameras in the same housing without modification. THE SONY A7R IV AND SONY A9 II CAMERAS While both the a7R IV and the a9 II feature the same size sensor and body, they are two very different cameras. With the NA-a2020 Underwater Housing, you now can choose the right camera for the job while using the same housing, lenses and ports. Both cameras share 5-axis in-body stabilization (IBIS) providing up to 5.5 stops of stabilization and the ability to record 4K video either from the full sensor width or a Super35 crop at up to 30p to dual UHS-II SD card slots. Both cameras are capable of clean HDMI video output up to UHD 4K 4:2:2 8-bit at up to 25p. THE SONY A7R IV CAMERA The Sony a7R IV is the company's fourth generation, high-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera. The 61.0-megapixel full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor combined with BIONZ X imaging engine delivers unprecedented resolution, fine gradation, and low noise. Relative to previous generations, it promises more robust build quality, refined controls, the company's latest autofocus. The a7R IV also received a serious upgrade from a7R III to its electronic viewfinder (EVF) in a 1.6x bump in resolution to an impressive 5.76-million-dots of UXGA OLED display, the highest of any mirrorless full-frame camera. Sony Alpha a7R IV Key Specifications 61MP BSI CMOS full-frame sensor Fast Hybrid AF with tracking 10 fps burst shooting (12-bit Raw mode) with AF Tracking 5.76M dot OLED viewfinder 4K video from full sensor width (sub-sampled) or oversampled from Super35 crop S-Log 2, S-Log 3 and 'HLG' video modes (8-bit only) THE SONY A9 II CAMERA The a9 II is the flagship full-frame mirrorless camera in Sony's lineup and features a 24.2MP Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor. The original a9 set the bar for high speed shooting with an incredible 20fps without EVF blackout, a trait passed on to the a9 II. It's 693 phase-detection pints cover over 93% of the sensor's surface which, combined with the BIONZ X processor leads to fast and accurate autofocus, even while tracking. Placing only 24.2 megapixels on the sensor, the a9 II prioritizes dynamic range and excellent low-light sensitivity over resolution. Sony Alpha a9 II Key Specifications 24.2MP BSI CMOS full-frame sensor 20fps continuous shooting without EVF blackout Fast Hybrid AF with Tracking 3.69M dot OLED viewfinder 4K video from full sensor width (sub-sampled) or oversampled from Super35 crop THE NAUTICAM NA-?2020 UNDERWATER HOUSING Nauticam has supported the Sony Alpha full-frame line since the original a7 with professional grade aluminum housings that offer intuitive access to all the controls and functions of the cameras. As the cameras have evolved, so have the Nauticam housings. The Nauticam NA-a2020 takes our commitment to the Sony full-frame mirrorless line to another level by delivering the first housing that will support both the a9 II and the a7R II with full access to all controls without modification or restriction. Integrated DSLR-housing styled handles with ergonomic rubberized grips and stainless steel stiffening brackets add stability and accessory mounting points. The NA-a2020 also features dual rear thumb-levers that are easily reached from the handle that access three of the most-used controls on the rear of the camera. The right lever actuates the AF-ON and RECORD buttons while the left lever is mapped to the PLAY button. Atop the housing on the left side are controls specific to the a9II in the form of a MODE dial and FOCUS mode lever. The C1, C2 buttons as well as the EV compensation dial also have direct access from the top of the housing. The C3, which is typically assigned to control switching between the EVF and the LCD screen is easily reachable on the rear of the housing from the left handle. ACCESSORY PORTS The NA-a2020 has both and M24 port at the front of the housing for both HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 connectivity (see sidebar for recommendations) as well as an M14 at the rear for the optional Vacuum Valve (25624). The housing comes with electronics pre-installed for Nauticam's Vacuum Check and Leak Detection system. This monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS Nauticam's wide range of ports and in-house corrective optics are the perfect compliment to the NA-a2020's inherent flexibility. Built around the N100 Port System, the NA-a2020 supports a wide variety of Sony FE mount lenses, as well as EF mount lenses via adapters. In addition, there are several options available to use the groundbreaking WACP and WACP-2 wide-angle corrective lenses as well as the more compact and in-water removable WWL-1. For example, With the Sony SEL1635GM FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM, the WACP 2 brings the original 105º field-of-view to an impressive 128º with sharper corners, an ~0" minimum focus distance and a more natural looking image than would be provided by a standard glass dome port. FLASH TRIGGERING Both fiber-optic and electrical strobe triggering options are available. The Nauticam Universal Fiber Optical cables attach to the built-in bulkheads atop the housing and feature modular connections for both Sea&Sea-style bushings and INON threaded connections. Triggering is achieved using the optional Nauticam Mini Flash Trigger for Sony (26302) which uses LEDs powered by an on-board coin-cell battery to generate a manual signal that is transmitter via the optical cables to compatible strobes.

Das neue NA-D7500 Gehäuse erweitert die marktführende ergonomische Erfahrung der Nauticam-Gehäuse mit verbesserter Platzierung der Steuerungen in einem kompakten, leichten Gehäuse, das mit modernsten Fertigungsverfahren hergestellt wurde. Der rechte Griff ist die zentrale Steuerung für die D7500 Kamera, die auf viele der häufig verwendeten Kamerafunktionen zugreift.  Überdimensionale Hebel sind am Griff erkennbar und ermöglichen eine taktile Bedienung während der Aufnahme mit dem optischen Sucher.  Die am häufigsten aufgerufenen Fingerspitzenbedienelemente (Auslöser, Hauptbefehlswahlschalter und Unterbefehlswahlschalter, Videoaufnahme und AE-L/AF-L) befinden sich hier. ISO, die primäre Belichtungssteuerung für DSLR-Videokameras, wird über einen praktischen Daumenhebel unter dem rechten Griff erreicht. INFO, das zum Abrufen der Kameraeinstellungen auf dem 3,2"-Rückseiten-Farb-LCD dient, befindet sich auf dem linken Daumen. Ein Hebel für den kleinen Finger, der sich direkt unter dem vorderen Einstellrad befindet, greift auf die Taste Fn1 zu.  Diese kann mit einer Reihe von zuweisbaren Funktionen verknüpft werden. Der neue AF-Mode Lever ist eine deutliche Verbesserung, die auf dem Feedback der Nauticam-Kunden aus der Praxis basiert.  Die Nikon AF Area Modi sind so leistungsfähig geworden, dass die Fotografen regelmäßig zwischen 3D Tracking, Auto Area AF und Single Area Modi wechseln.  Der AF-Modus-Hebel ist nun leicht zu finden, indem man ihn am linken Griff fühlt!  Ein separater AF-M-Hebel ist über diesem Hebel positioniert und fühlbar erkennbar. Ein doppelter Daumenhebel öffnet die Wiedergabe und die INFO-Taste.  Die Nikon D7500 Kamera im Nauticam NA-D7500 Gehäuse bietet zwei zuweisbare Drucktasten (AE-L/AF-L und Fn1), die alle über die Gehäusegriffe zugänglich sind.  Diese benutzerdefinierten Funktionen können zunächst überwältigend sein, aber die kreativen Optionen, die sie freischalten, können im Praxiseinsatz unglaublich wertvoll sein.  Kurz gesagt, diese zuweisbaren Tasten bedeuten weniger Zeitaufwand beim Durchsuchen der Kameramenüs, um die Kamerafunktionen zu ändern, und mehr Zeit beim Erfassen der Szene, wenn sie sich entfaltet.  Es gibt keinen richtigen Weg, diese Systeme zu konfigurieren.  Jeder Fotograf und jedes Aufnahmeszenario hat individuelle Anforderungen.  Einige Ideen sind unten aufgeführt: Mein Menü, ein benutzerdefiniertes Bedienfeld mit häufig aufgerufenen Menüeinstellungen. Auf Top Item in MEIN MENÜ zugreifen, springt tatsächlich in eine häufig aufgerufene Untermenüstruktur für die Auswahl Mein Menü auf der obersten Ebene und spart mindestens zwei Tastendrücke (d.h. minimale Verschlusszeit im automatischen ISO-Modus, oder schnell einen voreingestellten Weißabgleich definieren). Rufen Sie schnell einen anderen Messmodus auf, indem Sie zwischen dem ausgewählten Messmuster und einem alternativen Messmuster umschalten, das der aktuellen Szene besser gerecht wird. Blitz deaktivieren/aktivieren, das ist eine große Sache!  Schaltet externe Blitze ein und aus und ermöglicht so die Umschaltung zwischen Kunstlichtaufnahmen (Serienaufnahme durch Blitzverarbeitung begrenzt und Verschlusszeit durch die maximale Synchronisationsgeschwindigkeit bei 1/250) und Silhouettenmodus unter ausschließlicher Verwendung von Umgebungslicht (volle 8 fps Serienaufnahmezeit, uneingeschränkte Blitzsynchronisation).  Externe Blitzauslösung Der Popup-Blitz der D7500-Kamera löst im Inneren des NA-D7500-Gehäuses aus, und optische TTL-kompatible Blitze, die über Glasfaserkabel verbunden sind, ermöglichen eine manuelle und TTL-Blitzbelichtung.  Optische Systeme mit Glasfaserkabeln, die die externen Blitze mit dem Gehäuse verbinden, sind weitaus zuverlässiger als jedes elektrische Synchronkabelsystem.  Es gibt keine Verbindungen, die fluten können oder zerbrechliche Drähte, die brechen könnten, und fast jeder beliebte Unterwasser-Blitz unterstützt die optische Auslösung. Der optionale Blitzauslöser für Nikon (kompatibel mit NA-D7100, D7200, D7500), PN 26304 kann mit vollen 8 Bildern pro Sekunde auf die Kamera feuern und ist somit die ideale Lösung für die schnelle und schnelle Aufnahme, die die D7500 jetzt ermöglicht.  Die Verwendung dieses Auslösers anstelle des Pop-Up-Blitzes ermöglicht eine schnelle Blitzaufnahme, mit dem zusätzlichen Vorteil einer längeren Akkulaufzeit der Kamera.

Nikon's follow-up to the amazing D810 is the equally impressive D850. With updates that both still and video shooters will appreciate the D850 will be a top choice for underwater shooters. The Nauticam NA-D850 is the latest release in the world's finest line of underwater camera housings. Built on a foundation of innovative product design and modern manufacturing technology, NA-D850 is the ultimate accessory for the exciting new Nikon D850 camera. NIKON D850 DSLR-Camera The new Nikon D850 combines a stunning amount of resolution - 45.7 mega pixels - with the blazing fast autofocus also found in Nikon's professional D5 camera. In the past the highest resolution Nikon bodies traded continuous shooting speed for megapixel count, but thankfully that is no longer the case. Upgraded processing allows the D850 to fire at an impressive 7 frames per second, and a large 51 shot Raw buffer provides ample runway for fast action capture. The D850 also inherits the ISO64 base sensitivity from D810. High ISO performance in low light usually gets all the attention, but this extremely low ISO level was key to the excellent sunball capture capability of the D810 camera. The D850 promises more of the same in higher resolution. The Multi-CAM 20K focus system has 153 focus points (99 cross-type sensors), and works in conjunction with a 180k pixel RGB metering sensor. This metering sensor drives the advanced Nikon exposure system, and is also used to provide scene data for 3D focus tracking, improving accuracy. A new .75x Magnification optical viewfinder is the largest found on any Nikon SLR camera, providing a clear, bright view for framing and focus. Electronic viewfinders and large LCD screens simply can't match the precision of an optical viewfinder. The D850 offers 4K video capture from the entire sensor width at up to 30 frames per second. This is a key development from Nikon for the motion capture world. Previous offerings have cropped the sensor significantly when capturing 4K, changing the field of view of the attached lens significantly. Nikon D850 Key Specifications 45.7MP BSI CMOS sensor 7 fps continuous shooting with AE/AF 153-point AF system linked to 180,000-pixel metering system UHD 4K video capture at up to 30p from full sensor width 1080 video at up to 120p 4:2:2 8-bit UHD uncompressed HDMI output while recording to card 1 XQD slot and 1 UHS II-compliant SD slot 19.4MP DX crop mode THE NAUTICAM NA-D850 UNDERWATER HOUSING Innovation, ergonomics, and reliability are the hallmarks of the Nauticam brand. Every new housing design is carefully crafted based on feedback from Nauticam users around the globe. Feedback gained from the knowledge and experience of Nauticam owners results in every new housing design being better than the last. Key camera controls are placed within an easy reach from the ergonomic, rubberized handles. An incredible amount of design resources go into crafting this layout, but that effort pays off with unmatched ease of use. Controls on the housing are placed exactly where they should be for easiest access in water, regardless of the camera layout. The right grip is mission control for the D850 camera, accessing many of the frequently used camera functions. Oversized levers are identifiable by feel, allowing tactile operation while framing with the optical viewfinder. The most frequently accessed fingertip controls (Shutter Release, Main Command Dial, and Sub Command Dial, Video Record, and AF-ON) are located here. ISO, the primary exposure control used by DSLR video shooters, is accessed by a convenient thumb lever under the right grip. INFO, useful for calling up the camera settings on the 3.2" rear color LCD, is placed at the right thumb. The Nikon D850 camera in a Nauticam NA-D850 underwater housing offers four assignable pushbuttons (AF-ON, Fn1, Fn2, and Pv) that can all be accessed from the housing handles. These custom functions can be overwhelming at first, but the creative options they unlock can be incredibly valuable in the field. In short, these assignable buttons mean less time digging through camera menus to change camera functions, and more time capturing the scene as it unfolds. There isn't a right way configure these systems. Every photographer and shooting scenario has unique demands. Some ideas are listed below: 1 Step Spd / Aperture, allows changing exposure settings in full f-stop increments. Think about changing from a wide angle scenic mode with relatively open aperture and slow shutter speed to a close focus wide angle shot that requires a closed aperture to shrink a sun-ball. My Menu, a customized panel with frequently accessed menus settings Access Top Item in MY MENU, actually jumps into a frequently accessed sub menu structure for the top level My Menu selection, saving at least two button presses. (ie min shutter speed in auto iso mode, or quickly define a preset white balance) Quickly access another metering mode, toggling between the selected metering pattern and an alternate that more appropriately evaluates the current scene. Flash disable / enable, this is a big one! Toggles external flashes on and off, allowing a switch between artificial light shooting (continuous shooting speed limited by flash recycle, and shutter speed limited by the strobe max sync speed at 1/250) to silhouette mode using only ambient light (full 7 fps continuous shooting speed, unrestricted flash sync speed). AF-area mode + AF-ON – very cool functionality, for a quick way of accessing a focus mode other than the mode currently assigned and activating it while held down. Placed at the right ring finger via the re-positioned PV lever, the current focus mode be overridden with something like auto area focus for quick grab shots where there isn't time to move the selected autofocus point, or change focus area patterns. EXTERNAL FLASH TRIGGERING The NA-D850 uses the same integrated LED flash triggering system found in NA-D5 and NA-D500. This low profile housing mounted circuit board is convenient, easy to use, and reliable. This optical flash trigger can fire at the full 7 fps of the camera, making it the ideal solution for the rapid fire fast action shooting that the D850 is so well suited for. Optical systems, with fiber optic cables linking the external flashes to the housing, are far more reliable than any electrical sync cable system. There are no connections to flood, or fragile wires to break, and nearly every popular underwater strobe supports optical triggering. The LED trigger circuitboard is mounted directly to the front of the housing, and connected to the camera with a hotshoe cable. This new system is more powerful than the hotshoe mounted LED triggers used in the past, and is compatible with all currently available optically triggered flashes! Powered by two CR2032 batteries, battery life is measured in the tens of thousands of flashes, driven by incredibly efficient electronics. With good batteries, we expect 3-5 years of service, up to 50,000 exposures. Users of legacy flashes without optical triggering are able to add accessory Nikonos (NA26074) or Ikelite (NA26075) style bulkheads for electrical flash sync. These bulkheads plug into the LED trigger board for clean cable routing, and reliable connection. The Nauticam Underwater Housing for the Nikon D850 is also compatible with the Nauticam TTL Converter (NA26308). A user installable upgrade, the converter provides accurate automatic TTL flash exposure with a number of popular flashes, and offers both optical and electrical strobe triggering in a single unit! Optical triggering, using LEDs integrated into the board and fiber optic cables, works well with modern flashes like Inon Z-240, Sea & Sea YS-D2, and more. Electrical triggering supports Ikelite DS- and Sea & Sea YS-250 strobes connected via an electrical sync cord. EASE OF USE No system is easier to assemble or break down. The camera drops into the housing with a quick release camera tray. The camera tray has an extending bracket that allows the AF-M selector to be easily positioned to match the camera. No controls need to be preset, as housing functions for dials and switches align automatically (on/off, af-m, still photo/video). The large 120mm housing port opening allows even the largest popular pro Nikon wide angle lens (14-24 /2.8G) to be used, and the camera can even be mounted in the housing with this large lens attached. Premium Professional Optics Experienced shooters know a camera is only as good as the lens in front of it, and the same is true when choosing optics for an underwater camera system. Four optically coated glass dome ports (250mm, 230mm, 180mm, and 140mm diameters) and a series of acrylic ports support popular lenses from Nikon, Sigma, and Tokina. Port configurations are extensively tested at Nauticam to determine the ideal extension ring length for best performance. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-D850 as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (PN 25625), this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

The Panasonic GH5 brought high-end video specs to the micro four thirds platform, setting the bar for what was possible in this compact form-factor. Since the GH5, the open-source MFT actor has grown, with a massive variety of lenses available and camera specifications that rival or exceed some of their larger siblings. The GH6 follows closely in the GH5's footsteps, adding incredible new video features and even some notable still image enhancements. The GH5, GH5s, and GH5II have been well represented in the underwater imaging space and the arrival of the GH6 is sure to be met with serious enthusiasm given the spec sheet and early reviews. The Panasonic GH6 Camera The GH6 is built around a brand-new 25MP CMOS sensor paired to Panasonic's Venus processor. The new sensor, assisted by the addition of a CFExpress B card slot and a built-in cooling fan, can capture up to 5.7K video in the edit-friendly ProRes codec. While ProRes is currently limited to the 17:9 full 5.7K at 29.97p frame-rate recording mode, future firmware updates promised expanding this to all 4K and HD modes as well. While not in ProRes, the GH6 can record 10-bit 4:2:0 DCI or UHD 4K at up to 120fps using LongGOP H.264 compression. Dropping that frame rate to 60p allows for 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, All-i recording at a heavy 800Mbps bitrate. If 120fps is not slow enough, switching to HD opens up the possibility of 10-bit H.264 video at 240fps and even up to 300fps using Variable Frame Rate (VFR) mode which does not allow for audio recording. The menu for the various recording modes can be filtered to ease finding your desired mode and a personalized menu or 'My List' of selected modes can be created. When shooting at 60fps or lower, the GH6's Dynamic Range Boost mode can be activated. This mode uses both a low-gain and high-gain simultaneous readout from the sensor to create a final image with up to 13-stops of dynamic range. The GH6 also features Panasonic's full V-log profile which maximizes dynamic range for post-processing. The GH5 model only had a limited version of this profile. With a full-size HDMI port, the GH6 plays well with external monists and recorders, outputting a clean 4K/60p signal. Future firmware updates promise 4K/120P RAW output over HDMI. Not just a video camera, the GH6 also has notable improvements for still imaging. A new handheld mode for the high-resolution 100MP imaging mode expands the situations in which this can be used as previous versions required a tripod. For both stills and video, improvements in Autofocus and lower noise levels promise even better performance and image quality than was found in the GH5. Controls such as the prominent Record button remain similar aside from a button that gives direct access to the camera's audio settings and an additional custom function button on the front of the camera. The screen receives a refresh, as does the electronic viewfinder. THE NAUTICAM NA-GH6 UNDERWATER HOUSING The NA-GH6 builds on the pioneering NA-GH5 which supports the GH5, GH5S and GH5II camera models. Designed around the N85 Port System, the range of lens and port combinations for the NA-GH6 is unparalleled. Image quality can be improved even further with Nauticam's lineup of water-contact optics. These lenses, such as the WWL-1 and WWL-1B are designed to increase field-of-view, maximize corner sharpness and close-focus capability, all while maintaining zoom-through functionality. Using our unique bayonet mount system, these ultra-wide lenses can be switched for the powerful CMC-1 and CMC-2 macro optics underwater. This system makes the NA-GH6 the perfect underwater imaging system for both stills and video allowing for unparalleled wide and macro performance on the same dive without compromising image quality. MISSION CONTROL Designed with our Mission Control philosophy, the controls of the NA-GH6 are placed where they are needed most with essential controls for exposure and focus located within easy reach of the handles. A dual thumb lever near the right handle provides easy access to the 'REC' and 'AF-ON' buttons. A dual-action lever that triggers the 'Fn1' and 'Fn2' buttons is easily reached forward of the right handle as well. HDMI VIDEO OUTPUT With an M24 bulkhead and an M10 threaded mount, the NA-GH6 is easily paired with an external monitor or recorder over HDMI 2.0 or 1.4. With future firmware updates promising RAW video output at up to 4K/120p over HDMI, the NA-GH6 will be ready to meet that Need. MANUAL OPTICAL STROBE TRIGGERING Rapid fire manual triggering is available with the 26309 Mini Flash Trigger.  The Panasonic DMW FL-70 Flash Unit is not compatible with the GH6.   VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The NA-GH6 underwater housing by Nauticam comes with electronics pre-installed for Nauticam's Vacuum Check and Leak Detection system, requiring only the optional M14 Vacuum Valve (25624). This monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur.

It's been three years since the release of the Sony α7III full-frame mirrorless camera and the followup α7IV delivers many of the new features we've seen in other models packaged into this true hybrid imaging system.  A new high-resolution 33MP BSI sensor powered by the BIONZ XR processor delivers 4k60p internal capture without crop in 4:2:2 10-bit 600Mbps quality or 30p downsampled from the full 7K sensor width.  Paired with massively improved autofocus, 15+ stops of dynamic range and new Active Mode 5-axis stabilization makes this a powerful high resolution photo and video platform worthy of the α7 badging. THE SONY ALPHA 7 Mark IV Camera The Sony α7 line of full-frame mirrorless cameras has long been at the forefront of offering a variety of models with similar form factor that are geared towards different shooting styles.  With the α7 RIII and RIV, the focus was on low-light video-centric and ultra high resolution respectively while the α7IV marries the two to create a true hybrid shooting platform.  The Exmor R backside-illuminated 33MP full-frame sensor delivers high resolution still photos while leveraging the large sensor size to provide ultra-sharp and color-rich video downsampled from the full 7K sensor width. Camera Specs 33MP full-frame Exmor R™ BSI CMOS sensor with BIONZ XR™ processor 4K 60p 10-bit 4:2:2 video without crop 4K 30p 10-bit 4:2:2 downsampled from full sensor width 7K w/o pixel binning Real-time Eye-AF for humans and animals S-Log3 gamma for maximum Dyanmic Range capture 5-axis in-body image stabilization AUTOFOCUS The α7IV's improved autofocus system borrows heavily from Sony's other α series releases of late using their Fast Hybrid AF system which combines phase-detection and contrast-detection to provide fast and accurate focus.  The AF area is expanded to cover almost 94% of the frame with 759 AF-points.  Sony's latest Real Time Tracking and Eye AF modes promise to provide both accurate focus tracking for stills and video.  A new Focus Map feature allows for easier visualization of depth of field when filming. to help insure the critical parts of your subject are sharp. 4K VIDEO 4K 60p video captured with 10-bit 4:2:2 quality at up yo 600Mbps without crop sets the α7IV squarely with its peers in video capabilities.  Adding in the option to capture 30p downsampled from the full 7K sensor width gives the user the option to choose the right mode for their shooting style.  Capturing video in the S-Log3 gamma profile gives access to the camera's full 15+ stops of dynamic range for increased latitude in post processing. IMPROVED CONTROLS In addition to upgrading the autofocus, video and still capture  capabilities of the camera, the α7IV also now has the option to maintain discrete settings for video and still modes.  The dedicated dial atop the camera makes switching between modes hassle free.  The menu system has also been upgraded to make navigation easier and more similar to other recent models. NAUTICAM NA-A7IV UNDERWATER HOUSING The NA-A7IV underwater housing by Nauticam is designed as an optimized solution for both underwater still and moving image capture.  Outfitted with Nauticam's extensive lineup of accessories, the NA-A7IV can be customized to excel in either role.  The latest in a long lineup of Sony mirrorless system housings, the NA-A7IV features the same intuitively placed controls, easy setup, and rugged reliability user's have come to expect. MISSION CONTROL Never miss a shot looking for a button or dial.  Regardless of where the control may be found on the camera, Nauticam engineers have placed that control on the housing where it is needed most.  Essential dials and buttons are within easy reach of the reinforced ergonomic handles.  Atop the housing, a new dedicated lever allows quick switching between Still, Movie and S&Q (VFR Video) modes.  A dual thumb lever near the right handle actuates the REC and AF-ON buttons and a single lever near the left handle is for PLAYBACK.   HDMI 2.0 A large bore M24 bulkhead is located at the front of the housing for use with HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 1.4 (with a step-down adapter to M16) external monitors and recorders.  An additional M10 threaded mounting position near the front center of the housing also makes using an external monitor even easier.  The A7IV can output 4:2:2 10-bit 4K at up to 60fps to external recorders allowing for recording in edit-friendly codecs such as ProRes.  See the resources sidebar for additional details and recommended setups. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS Built around the N100 Port System for Sony E-Mount, the NA-A7IV can support a wide variety of native lenses with a selection of Optical Glass and Acrylic ports.  When used with an E-Mount to EF-mount lens adapter and an N100 to N120 adapter (see Resources sidebar for supported adapters), the NA-A7IV can be used with the Canon N120 EF-Mount port system, expanding the capabilities of the system even further.  Going beyond conventional optics the NA-A7IV can leverage the unparalleled optical quality of Nauticam's Water Contact optics such as the WACP-1 which offers up to 130º field-of-view, full zoom through, an almost 0" minimum focus distance with supported lenses.  For macro, the SMC-1 and SMC-2 deliver tack-sharp super-macro magnification levels up to 4x with the Sony 90mm macro lens. VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION The housing comes with electronics pre-installed for Nauticam's Vacuum Check and Leak Detection system, requiring only the optional M14 Vacuum Valve (25624). This monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive. STROBE TRIGGERING Triggering of external strobes is accomplished via the integrated fiber-optic bulkheads when using the optional Mini Flash Trigger for Sony (26302).  Electronic triggering is also via an optional Nikonos Bulkhead.  Note that when using this with the Vacuum Valve will require the optional M14 Offset Connector with Vacuum Valve II (25026).

THE OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5 MARK III CAMERA Weighing in at under one pound, the E-M5 Mark III packs an outsized punch. The E-M5 Mark III is built around the same 20Mp Live MOS sensor and Dual F.A.S.T Autofocus system as the larger OM-D E-M1 Mark II. New for the Mark III is the addition of a 121-point hybrid AF system which, combined with the powerful TruePic VIII processor allows for 10fps burst mode capture with AF-C.

Both the Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 present shooters with the ability to use both the available legacy EF lenses via an adapter in addition to their native RF optics.  To support both the legacy and native lenses, Nauticam has integrated the NA-R6 into the N120 port system. Canon's EF to RF mount adapters can be affixed to the camera before insertion into the housing. When using the EOS R6 inside the housing with the adapter and a supported EF lens, the port and extension ring arrangement will be identical to the same setup on a Nauticam Canon N120 DSLR. As the RF lens lineup emerges, dedicated port and extension ring combinations will be listed on the Port Chart. Two lens release buttons, one for RF and one for EF lenses used with the optional Canon adapter, are located on the front of the housing to make lens removal through the port opening simple. Mission Control Nauticam engineers are obsessed with getting the underwater image maker unfettered access to all the necessary controls, with as many within easy reach of the ergonomic rubberized handles. This Mission Control philosophy extends to the NA-R6 where a dual thumb lever and dual sub-lever are placed by the right handle. The upper thumb lever activates the "AF-On" and the lower the "Q" buttons while the sub-lever corresponds to the "M-Fn" and "Record" buttons. Near the left handle is a thumb lever for "Playback" as well as a dedicated switch to change from using LCD to the EVF. Large knurled and rubberized control dials access the camera's "main" and "sub" command dials. The two-stage trigger allows for smooth focus and firing activation. Additional buttons for "Menu", "Focus Point Selection" and others are also easily reached from the handles. An additional control wheel is located on the left side of the housing and will interface with the control ring on the supported EF to EOS R Mount Adapter with Control Ring using the optional gear (NA19561). Flash Triggering Flash triggering is achieved via one of two optional Flash Triggers, a manual LED trigger (NA26301) or a TTL Flash Trigger (NA26321) that use the built-in fiber optic bulkheads with optional fiber-optic cables to trigger supported strobes. For controlling strobes that do not support fiber optic flash triggering, a variety of legacy hot-shoe flash control bulkheads are available. Integrated Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection electronics are shipped with the NA-R6 as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (NA25625) this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

In response to this technological evolution, Nauticam is excited to introduce the next generation of Enhanced Viewfinders designed to meet and exceed the requirements of all the current digital camera EVFs, as well as what is expected in the near future. The new Full Frame Straight Viewfinder employs entirely new optics to allow distortion free viewing without clipping the image frame. With the new viewfinders, reviewing images in playback or navigating the menus through the EVF has never been so easy. 32º/1:1 VS. 40º/0.8:1 Because different photographers have different needs and priorities, Nauticam offers the Full Frame Straight Viewfinder in two options. The 1:1 viewfinder option offers the most magnification available for underwater viewing while preserving the image field and surrounding data on most cameras. This viewfinder is a breakthrough in performance on high resolution EVFs and is an absolute joy on traditional DSLRs. The level of detail rendered is unequaled in the industry. For those utilizing cameras with known EVF challenges such as the Sony’s A1 and A7SIII cameras, or just for the photographer who wants as much working room on the viewfinder field-of-view as possible, Nauticam offers the new 0.8:1 version. The 0.8:1 viewfinder offers an equally crisp and bright EVF display as the 1:1 viewfinder, with slightly less magnification for uncompromising corner to corner image viewing or better imaging of shooting data. HASSLE-FREE UNDERWATER DIOPTRIC ADJUSTMENT The much-loved dioptric adjustment is still featured and allows for easy eyesight adjustment in-water without disassembly of the viewfinder.  as well as the simple installation and removal that takes only seconds. TOOL FREE INSTALLATION The Nauticam Full Frame Straight Viewfinder can be installed in seconds without any tools.  The viewfinder is a direct replacement of the stock 0.66X viewfinder on DSLR and many full-frame mirrorless housings but requires an easily installed adapter on certain MIL housings. Whether future proofing a viewfinder purchase for your current rig, or patiently waiting for a viewfinder worthy of the latest pro mirrorless camera you are diving, these cutting-edge viewfinders are the new industry standard to be looking at.

The next generation Nauticam Full Frame Angle Viewfinder is the perfect addition to housings for cameras with the latest generation of larger Electronic Viewfinders such as the Sony A1 and A7SII as it provides a bright, clear and undistorted image of the camera’s viewfinder with it's 0.8:1 magnification. This enhanced viewfinder is essential for precise focusing and artistic composition.  This viewfinder is also available in a 1:1 version that can also accommodate viewing of the entire image field on cameras with standard EVFs such as most DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. The Full Frame Angle Viewfinder also provides more clearance for your regulator allowing for more a more comfortable viewing position, installs in seconds without tools and retains the hassle-free underwater dioptric adjustment feature. The viewfinder can also be rotated when using the camera in a portrait orientation. INTRODUCING NAUTICAM FULL FRAME ANGLE VIEWFINDER 40°/ 0.8:1 For over a decade, Nauticam’s Enhanced Viewfinders have been known for superior optics, tack sharp performance and first-of-its-kind underwater dioptric adjustment.
