This significant improvement in workflow for professionals and enthusiasts can be taken even further with the world’s first USB-C output to compact SSD recording provided by any manufacturer. Not only does this allow up to 2TB of storage for uninterrupted shooting, it provides immediate access to clips for editing. No additional downloads or transcoding! Underwater shooters will appreciate the new dual native ISO allowing superior lowlight/low noise performance as well the large, bright five inch touchscreen monitor with extensive tools that may eliminate the need for an external monitor in many applications. The Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K may well prove to be the ultimate run-and-gun camera whether as a primary rig or the “small” B camera that goes where others won’t. Noteworthy Specifications: Full size HDMI with clean 10-Bit Output 3D LUT compatible – whether just for monitoring or baked into the footage as well 4 built in mics and mini-XLR audio input with 48V phantom power Standard Canon LP-E6 Batteries 4th Generation Black Magic Color Science THE NA-BMPCCII UNDERWATER HOUSING The NA-BMPCCII is not just an update of the original NA-BMPCC, it is a ground up redesign for the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K designed to take full advantage of the great new features of this cinema camera. MISSION CONTROL Nauticam's design philosophy is driven by allowing immediate access to all essential controls within easy reach of the handles, allowing the shooter to make adjustments without having to take their eyes off the screen. Within reach of the right handle are the trigger as well as a control dial for iris, a lever to capture still images as well as a double thumb lever for the white balance and autofocus. A recessed double thumb lever, situated between the trigger and the rear thumb lever accesses the ISO and Shutter Angle (Shutter Speed). Three assignable buttons are atop the housing near the right handle as well as three buttons on the right rear for HFR, Auto-Iris, Zoom and Menu. A thumb lever on the left side activates Review. The NA-BMPCCII features DSLR style ergonomic handles with stainless steel stiffening brackets that are compatible with the optional handle strap (PN 28130). The rear monitor window is compatible with the Monitor Shade for the NA-502 Housing (PN 17916) which attaches via four screws. The underside of the housing has mounting points for use with the Tripod Mounting Ball Set (PN 25218) removing the use for a bulky tripod plate. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS The NA-BMPCCII is built around the N85 Port System which offers a variety of port configurations for a large selection of lenses. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K features a four thirds lens mount making it compatible with the Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R lens that when paired with the WWL-1 provides ultra-sharp full-zoom-through wide-angle performance. The WWL-1, when used with the bayonet mount system can be exchanged underwater for the optional CMC-1 or CMC-2 to allow for the capturing of up to 130º wide-angle, macro and super-macro all on the same dive. HDMI 2.0 READY The housing features several bulkheads including the large-bore M28 which supports the use of an HDMI 2.0 recorder such as the Atomos Ninja V through the Nauticam Atomos Ninja V Housing (PN 17922). CUSTOM BATTERY PACK AND SSD SUPPORT To allow for increased run-time, the NA-BMPCCII comes with a custom battery cage that holds 4 x 18650 Lithium Batteries (batteries not included). This battery cage sits securely beneath the camera inside the housing and connects directly to the camera's power supply input. With 4x3400 mAh batteries, the run-time of the system can exceed 3 hours. Atop the camera's position inside the housing is a slot that holds a compact T5 SSD which connects to the camera via USB-C. Run Times Canon LP-E6 internal battery: 40min 4 x 16850 Battery: up to 160min Total Run Time: 3hrs 20min VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-BMPCCII as standard equipment. With the pre-installed 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.

FUJIFILM X-T3 The Fujifilm X-T3 features an APS-C CMOS 4 X-Trans 26.1MP Sensor. The X-T3 is powered by an upgraded X Processor 4 that is 3x faster and allows for 1.5x faster sensor readout than the X-T3. The base ISO has been lowered from 200 to 160. Oversampled DCI or UHD 4K (using full sensor width) is possible at 30p whereas 60p can be recorded with a minor 1.18x crop. The 60p footage can be captured as 10 bit 4:2:0 H.265 at 200 Mbps and recorded internally. This increases to 4:2:2 when output over HDMI. The X-T3 also features F-Log capture to maximize dynamic range, protecting highlights and shadows for editing. The X-T3 features a Natural Liveview mode when recording F-log that more closely resembles a standard monitoring LUT. Zebra warnings and focus peaking overlays as well as magnification during shooting are all improvements that video shooters will appreciate. Three custom white balance slots are available in addition to the 7 presets. The electronic viewfinder of the X-T3 is vastly improved with 3.69M dots as compared to the 2.36M dots of the X-T2. Battery life has also been improved. The X-T3 can achieve 20fps continuous shooting with Autofocus and this increases to 30fps when shooting from a 1.25x crop area. A Sport Finder mode will show this cropped area inside the EVF. Phase-detection autofocus has been increased to 98% of the sensor area. The X-T3 also features a fast 1/250 X-sync speed. Key Camera Specifications 26MP BSI 'X-Trans CMOS 4' sensor 425-point hybrid AF system 20 fps shooting with AF (11 fps with mechanical shutter) 3.69M-dot electronic viewfinder 10 bit 4:2:0 H.265 internal video capture (4:2:2 over HDMI) UHD/DCI 4K/60p from 1.18x crop region UHD/DCI 4K/30p using full width of sensor Internal F-Log capture Dual UHS-II SD card slots USB C-type connector can be used for charging battery THE NAUTICAM NA-XT3 UNDERWATER HOUSING Nauticam has supported X-T1 and X-T2 cameras and continues to create innovative and ultra-functional housings for this line with the NA-XT3. More than just an updated badge, the NA-XT3 is a complete redesign of the series. With a form factor more closely resembling the NA-A9 for Sony's A9 mirrorless camera, the NA-XT3 features DSLR-style housing and port lock mechanisms as well as integrated ergonomic handles. An optional hand strap (NA28130) can be added to the handles. The housing is designed with our Mission Control concept of placing the most important camera controls as close to the handles as possible to facilitate effortless and quick camera operation to ensure you don't miss the shot. The NA-XT3 features thumb levers near both handles, with the left thumb lever actuating the playback function and the right thumb lever the AF-L control. The housing includes two M14 and one M24 bulkhead openings and an M5 threaded hole on top (underneath the cold shoe) for an additional ball mount. The NA-XT3 uses the N100 Port System shared with the Fujifilm XH1 system. A selection of port options are available for a variety of lenses. VIDEO RECORDING FEATURES The impressive video specs of the X-T3 prompted the addition of some video-centric features to the NA-XT3. The base of the housing can accept Nauticam's Mounting Ball Set for Tripod (PN 25218), the same part as for the NA-A9. As the X-T3 can output DCI/UHD 4K at 60p with 4:2:2 quality over HDMI, a new M24 bulkhead has been incorporated into the housing to support an HDMI 2.0 connection to the Nauticam Atomos Ninja V housing (HDMI 2.0) for Atomos Ninja V 5” 4Kp60 4:4:2 10-bit Recorder/Monitor/Player (17922). Video shooting can decrease battery life so the NA-XT3 is compatible with an optional 2500 mAh USB-C Battery Pack (NA36335) that sits below the camera tray inside the housing. FLASH TRIGGERING Reliable automatic flash exposure is available with the NA-XT3 and a variety of optically fired flashes, precisely reproducing the camera’s included EF-X8 flash at a proportionally greater intensity. This system yields accurate automatic TTL flash performance – even in manual exposure mode – with no electrical sync cables to flood! The NA-XT3 is also compatible with the Nauticam Mini Flash Trigger for Panasonic/Fujifilm (PN 26305). The Flash Trigger allows for rapid fire manual flash firing via fiber optic, with no camera battery drain. The NA-XT3 comes fiber optic ready and accepts standard Sea & Sea style bushing connections. Nauticam Universal fiber optic cable system (NA26216) for Inon, Sea&Sea strobes, provide exceptional light transmission for accurate TTL performance. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is pre-installed in the NA-XT3 as standard equipment. Combined with an optional M14 Vacuum Valve II (NA25624), this monitoring system provides constant updates throughout the dive as to watertight integrity of the housing via a multi-color LED on the rear of the housing.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Nauticam is pleased to announce the NA-A7II, the newest entry in its mid-range series of fine underwater camera housings. The NA-A7II is an incremental improvement over the outstanding NA-A7 housing, and is the ultimate underwater machine for full frame mirrorless image making. The Sony A7 II Camera The new Sony A7II (officially called Sony Alpha 7 II) follows hot on the heals of the amazing A7, adding some significant improvments, including a 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization. The A7II, with its 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor, is the ultimate all-around full frame mirrorless camera to date. Focus is improved with a Hybrid AF system utilizing on-sensor phase-detect points. From a design perspective, other improvements in this model include more rugged build quality, a beefier grip, more and better laid out custom buttons, and a more ergonomically placed shutter release button. Other features include a 3-inch tilting LCD, XGA OLED electronic viewfinder, Multi-interface (hot) shoe, Wi-Fi with NFC, and 1080/60p video recording - now with XAVC S and a flat 'S-Log2' picture profile. The A7II features the same highly regarded full-frame 24MP CMOS sensor that was found on the original A7 and it continues to impress. The A7II uses a hybrid autofocus system, which has 25 contrast detect and 117 phase detect points spread across its sensor. Sony engineers claim that autofocus performance has improved by 30% and tracking by 50% compared to the A7. Autofocus and now auto exposure can be used while tracking a moving subject during burst shooting (at 5 fps). Ergonomically, the A7II is improved over the A7, and the difference is obvious when picking up the camera. It feels more substantial in the hand, and the shutter button in particular is more comfortable. The grip is larger and significantly more substantial which keeps the hand in a more relaxed position when gripping the camera. The A7II uses more magnesium alloy and less plastic than the A7; allowing the overall build quality to seem more solid with only a minor increase in weight Like previous models, the A7II supports WiFi, NFC, and a number of apps making sharing very easy, while opening up the camera's capabilities. Underwater Tribe | NA-A7II from Nauticam on Vimeo. The NA-A7II Underwater Housing by Nauticma The NA-A7II looks quite similar to the NA-A7, and the housings are approximately the same dimensions. As those photographers who have experienced the NA-A7 housing have discovered, that housing is a stunning blend of aesthetics, ergonomics and functionality and the A7II housing only reinforces this mission. The NA-A7II ships with built-in, yet adjustable handles, featuring Nauticams famous contoured rubberized grip. The AF/MF/AEL button is given special treatment on the right side of the housing with a direct access lever immediately reachable by the right thumb. This allows the button to be programmed for AF-ON meaning thumb focus fans can easily have perfect functionality. The shutter release can be accessed at the same time, offering extremely quick focus-to-shoot finger action. Like many Nauticam housings, the play button is brought up to the left thumb, and the three command dials (think shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation) can be adjusted quickly with minimal reach. The ISO button is within short reach of the right thumb, important for video shooters. Speaking of video, the record button is on the top right, thus eliminating camera shake during video start/stop. The Function Menu button opens up common camera settings to a quick menu, and this button is a short reach with the right thumb. The programmable C3 button is a very easy reach and can be programmed for any of several functions. The housing features a switch to change between the EVF and the LCD providing rapid and secure transition between viewing modes, and supports Nauticam's well renowned viewfinders. Installing a lens with a gear attached is made easy by the new pull-out zoom/focus dial. A Nauticam Mini Flash Trigger made specifically for Sony is an available option, allowing the camera to shoot rapid fire with flood free optical cables. The housing includes an M16 bulkhead port for optional HDMI out, Nikonos style sync cable or other external accessory. The NA-A7II accommodates for the larger than expected grip of the camera. Rather than compromise on image quality, the Nauticam designers chose to create ports than take into account this difference, hence a separate entry in the port chart for this housing. Lens Matters The original A7 and A7R cameras from Sony sparked a huge interest in going full frame for mirrorless. For the underwater photographer, this enthusiasm was quickly diminished by the fairly limited lens selection. Underwater image makers rely on very wide angle lenses and macro lenses, and they were nowhere to be found. However, the recently released 16-35mm is a game changer. This is a lens from the Sony Zeiss partnership, quaintly dubbed the Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS. It's a terrific rectilinear wide angle zoom that focuses close and demonstrates very good sharpness all around with medium to large sized dome ports. The Nauticam 180mm dome is an ideal choice for this lens. For macro lovers, Sony two days ago announced a 90mm macro beauty (Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS), and this lens will be supported as soon as possible after it is shipped (slated for July). Also just announced is a new 28mm f/2 lens with a fisheye adapter, similar to what Sony did with the fisheye and wide angle adapter on the 16mm lens for the NEX series. This is an appealing way to get fisheye, as it allows multiple configurations with a single lens. Look for more info about Nauticam support for this lens when it ships (slated for May). Owners of Canon full frame lenses like the EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM, EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, or the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lenses will apreciate the ability to use these fine optics with the A7 series. This is made possible with a Metabones adapter (Canon EF Lens to Sony NEX Smart Adapter (Mark III or Mark IV)). These lenses work well on the A7 series, providing both aperture and autofocus control from the camera. Speaking of Lenses Nikonos "water contact" lenses are the stuff of legend, but too many of them are sitting in a box in a closet. Time to dust them off! The full frame A7II is a great way to bring those lenses back to action. With the full frame sensor, this Sea&Sea 12mm or the famous Nikonos 15mm behave like they were intended to. Viewfinder Options The NA-A7II ships with a standard 0.66x viewfinder. This standard optical glass viewfinder is travel friendly and suitable for image makers that care to use the LCD for most framing. Many photographers prefer the ease of a magnified viewfinder with adjustable diopter to take advantage of the excellent EVF in this camera. Nauticam produces a straight 180_ enlarging viewfinder and a 45_ 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. NA-A7II Feature Checklist Unsurpassed build quality, designed by an award winning engineering team, and produced utilizing the most modern manufacturing technology available Ergonomically placed controls with size, shape, and color differentiation Access to all key camera controls All controls clearly labeled Patented two stage shutter release system, allowing precise feel over half press and full press Patented Port Locking System Patent pending Multi Controller pad Lens release button Easy to operate locking housing latches Rubberized ergonomic grips on adjustable handles Laser-cut steel handle brackets Quick release camera mounting plate Optical strobe connectors for fiber optic flash triggering Mini Flash Trigger M16 accessory hole for electrical bulkhead, HDMI or hydrophone installation M14 accessory hole for vacuum valve installation Integrated vacuum monitoring and leak detection circuit (valve optional) Dual 1" (25mm) strobe mounting balls included as standard equipment 1/4-20 tripod mounting holes Dual M5/M10 threaded accessory mounting points 100m Depth Rating Integrated Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is available with NA-A7II as standard equipment. Combined with an optional vacuum valve, this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe to dive status of the housing. A simple 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 housing ships with a rear bulkhead port specifically for installing optional vacuum valves, leaving the other bulkhead port available for HDMI, sync cables and other accessories.

The evolution of the mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera has been happening at a fever pitch over the last few years with Panasonic leading the field of introducing more video-driven improvements.  With the LUMIX DC-S1H, Panasonic is taking its full-frame mirrorless S1 platform and giving it supercharged cinema-video specs.  The S1H is the first full-frame mirrorless camera to offer 6K (3:2) 24p internal recording with 14+ stops of dynamic range.  The Nauticam NA-S1H, with its M28 bulkhead supporting HDMI 2.0 output, can be combined with the Atomos Ninja V and Shogun Inferno external monitors/recorders to offer even more recording and monitoring Options. THE PANASONIC LUMIX DC-S1H CAMERA The Panasonic S1 brought many of the features that made the GH series of micro-four-thirds cameras popular with underwater image-makers to a full-frame sensor.  With the S1H, Panasonic has taken some of it's VariCam cinema-tech and added it to already strong video capabilities of the S1 platform.  The most notable is the ability to record 6K in a 3:2 aspect ratio at 24p (or 5.9K, 30p at 16:9) at a reported 14+ stops of dynamic range.  If 60p is important, the S1H will also capture C4K/UHD4K at 60p in 4:2:2 10-bit internally.   THE NAUTICAM NA-S1H UNDERWATER HOUSING As the S1H is an evolution of the mirrorless camera, the NA-S1H is the progression of Nauticam's innovative approach to housing design and construction.  As the capabilities of the cameras housed within increases, so must the housing itself.  The NA-S1H is a perfect compliment to the S1H camera and is designed to take full advantage of the S1H's advanced video capabilities.   EF AND L LENS SUPPORT Sigma's MC-21 EF to L adapter allows for the use of Sigma EF-mount lenses to be used with the S1H camera. The NA-S1H Housing is designed to not only accommodate the adapter but to allow for the use of the existing focus and zoom gears for Canon EF-mount Sigma lenses for the N120 Canon System along with the existing Canon N120 extension ring and port combinations for those lenses.  As native L-mount lenses become available, those best suited to underwater use will be added to the system. MISSION CONTROL The NA-S1H follows Nauticam's Mission Control design philosophy that emphasizes placing the control where it is needed most, regardless of where it may be on the camera itself.  This has led to housings where the majority of essential controls can be easily reached from the ergonomic handles.  The use of thumb-levers allows for the manipulation of many controls without having to remove your hand from the handle which leads to more time spent focusing on the shot and less time looking for a control. The NA-S1H features dual thumb levers on both the right and left rear of the housing.  The left side activates Playback and DISP buttons while the right controls AF-ON and REC.  An inner lever on each side adds additional functionality with ISO for the front right and LVF on the left rear.  A multi-position switch on the rear of the housing accesses C/M/AF and is located next to the multi-directional pad. HDMI 2.0 The NA-S1H features the large-bore M28 bulkhead that supports HDMI 2.0 video output connections to external recorders/monitors such as the Atomos Ninja V and Shogun Inferno with the optional Nauticam HDMI 2.0 cables and monitor housings.  An HDMI 1.4 option is also available for those monitor housings that do not feature the M28 bulkhead.

The NA-A7II looks very similar to the NA-A7 and the housings have about the same dimensions. Nevertheless, this is an underwater housing specially tuned for the Sony alpha 7 Mark II. The NA-A7II comes with integrated adjustable grips that feature Nauticam's famous rubberized grip. The AF/MF/AEL button has been specially equipped on the right side of the grip with a direct access lever that can be reached instantly with the right thumb. This allows the button to be programmed for AF-ON, which means that "thumb focus" fans have perfect functionality. The output can be operated at the same time, allowing simultaneous focusing and shooting. As with many Nauticam housings, the playback button is placed on the left thumb, and the three adjustment ratios (shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation) can be set quickly and with minimal reach. The ISO button is located immediately near the right thumb, important for videographers. The record button is located in the upper right, preventing shake when starting/stopping video. Underwater Tribe | NA-A7II from Nauticam on Vimeo. The function menu button öopens the general camera settings for a quick menu, and this button is not far away with the right thumb. The programmable C3 button is very accessible and can be programmed for one of several functions. The housing features a switch to toggle between the electronic viewfinder and LCD, allowing quick and safe switching between viewing modes, and supports Nauticam's familiar magnifying viewfinders. A Nauticam mini flash output designed specifically for Sony is an available option that enables the camera to shoot quickly with flood-proof optical cables. The housing includes an M16 connector for an optional HDMI output, Nikonos sync cable, or other external accessory. The NA-A7II accommodates the camera's unexpectedly large grip. Rather than compromise on image quality, Nauticam designers chose to create ports to account for this difference, hence a separate entry in the port table for this housing. High-quality professional look Sony's original A7 and A7R cameras sparked a lot of interest in using full-frame for mirrorless cameras. For the underwater photographer, this enthusiasm quickly waned due to the relatively limited lens selection. Underwater photographers rely on very wide angle lenses and macro lenses, and these were nowhere to be found. This changed spätestens with the release of a 16-35mm wide-angle zoom. This is a lens from the Sony Zeiss partnership, designated the Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS. It's a terrific straight wide-angle zoom that focuses close and offers very good all-around sharpness with medium to large dome ports. Nauticam's 180mm dome is the ideal choice for this lens. For macro lovers, Sony has launched a 90mm macro lens (Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS). Also available now is a 28mm f/2 lens with fisheye adapter, äsimilar to what Sony did with the fisheye and wide-angle adapter on the 16mm lens for the NEX series. This is an attractive option for fisheye lenses, as it allows for multiple configurations with a single lens. Owners of Canon full-frame lenses such as the EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM, EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM or EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM will appreciate the versatility of their lenses with the A7 series. This is made possible by a Metabones adapter (Canon EF Lens to Sony NEX Smart Adapter (Mark III or Mark IV)). These lenses are well suited for the A7 series and allow both aperture and autofocus control via the camera. Finder options Precision requires foresight: a camera like the Sony A7 II / A7RII requires perfect focus for optimal results. Fortunately, Nauticam has developed the most user-friendly interchangeable viewfinders on the market. The standard optical glass viewfinder is very good and travel friendly, but many photographers prefer the convenience of a magnified viewfinder with adjustable diopters. Nauticam produces a "straight" 180º magnifying viewfinder and a 45º angled magnifying viewfinder to facilitate the tight-space work often associated with macro shooting. Both viewfinders feature high-quality optics and allow bright viewing of the entire image. A patented external diopter adjustment allows for personalized, pin-sharp adjustment underwater. Viewfinder changes can be performed in less than 30 seconds without tools. Exceptional composition and focus accuracy have never been so accessible.  Vacuum inspection and leak detection system The Nauticam vacuum prüf and leak detection system is available as standard with NA-A7II. Combined with an optional vacuum valve, this monitoring system provides constant updates on the watertight and submersible condition of the housing. The operator can see at a glance the watertight and submersible condition of the walker. A simple coded LED lighting system indicates to the user if the vacuum is stable or if the walker is losing vacuum. Leak detection is integrated into the same circuit so that an audible and visual indication is given when water enters.

Als professionelles Gehäuse, das zu einer Vorzeigekamera passt, bietet das NA-A9 Unterwassergehäuse Zugang zu allen wichtigen Kamerasteuerungen in einem robusten und zuverlässigen Aluminium-Unterwassergehäuse.  Entscheidende Änderungen der Kameraparameter werden von den Griffen aus vorgenommen, ohne umständliche Reichweiten. Basierend auf unseren erfolgreichen NA-A7- und NA-A7RII-Gehäusen ist dieses neueste Gehäuse für Sonys Alpha-Flaggschiffkamera sicherlich ein unverzichtbares und zuverlässiges Werkzeug für den professionellen und ambitionierten Unterwasserfotografen, um die Vorteile des Funktionsumfangs der A9 voll auszuschöpfen. UNTERSTÜTZUNG EINER BREITEN PALETTE VON OPTIKEN  Mit dem gleichen Objektivanschlusszubehör wie das Nauticam NA-A7II-Gehäuse wird derzeit eine Liste von dreizehn Sony FE-Objektiven unterstützt. Ein Adapter ermöglicht die Verwendung der gesamten N120 DSLR-Objektivreihe und unterstützt die beliebten Canon EF-Objektive, die an der A9 mit einem EF auf Sony E-Mount Objektivadapter befestigt sind. Ebenfalls erhältlich ist ein Adapter zur Befestigung der Objektive der UW-Nikkor-Serie, die ursprünglich für die Nikonos Unterwasser-Entfernungsmesser-Systeme verwendet wurden. Von ultrabreiten Fisheyeobjektiven bis hin zu langen Makro-Objektiven - das Nauticam A9-System deckt alle Brennweiten ab. MODERNE WASSERKONTAKTOPTIK Inspiriert von den Wasser-Kontaktoptiken-Designs der letzten Jahrzehnte entwickelt Nauticam ständig neue optische Zubehörteile, die die Messlatte dessen höher legen, was in der Unterwasser-Fotografie möglich ist.  Entwickelt mit moderner Objektivdesign-Software und vollständig optimiert für den Einsatz im Wasser, bieten diese Objektive eine deutlich bessere Leistung als ein In-Air-Objektiv hinter einem Dome- oder Flat-Port allein. SUCHER Der standardmäßige optische Glassucher ist sehr gut und reisefreundlich, aber viele Fotografen bevorzugen die Erleichterungen eines vergrößerten Suchers mit einstellbaren Dioptrien. Nauticam produziert einen "geraden" 180º vergrößernden Sucher und einen um 45º abgewinkelten vergrößernden Sucher, um die Arbeit auf engstem Raum zu erleichtern, die häufig mit Makroaufnahmen verbunden ist. Beide Sucher verfügen über eine hochwertige Optik und ermöglichen eine helle Betrachtung des gesamten Bildes. Eine patentierte externe Dioptrienverstellung ermöglicht eine persönliche, gestochen scharfe Anpassung unter Wasser. Sucherwechsel können in weniger als 30 Sekunden ohne Werkzeug durchgeführt werden. Außergewöhnliche Zusammensetzung und Fokusgenauigkeit waren noch nie so zugänglich.  BLITZAUSLÖSUNG Ein optionaler LED-Blitzauslöser (NA26302) ermöglicht die schnelle Blitzauslösung mit optischen Nebenblitzen über Glasfaserkabel. Das NA-A9-Gehäuse verfügt über zwei eingebaute optische M10-Buchsen, die mit dem optionalen LED-Blitzauslöser kompatibel sind.  Blitzsysteme, die elektrische Synchronkabel verwenden, werden an ein Nikonos Anschluss und Blitzschuh (NA25056) angeschlossen.  INTEGRIERTES VAKUUMPRÜF- UND LECKERKENNUNGSSYSTEM Das Nauticam Vakuumprüf- und Leckerkennungssystem ist serienmäßig mit NA-A9 erhältlich. In Kombination mit einem optionalen Vakuumventil liefert dieses Überwachungssystem ständige Updates zum wasserdichten und tauchsicheren Zustand des Gehäuses. Der Bediener kann auf einen Blick den wasserdichten und tauchsicheren Zustand des Gehäuses erkennen. Ein einfaches, codiertes LED-Beleuchtungssystem zeigt dem Benutzer an, ob das Vakuum stabil ist oder ob das Gehäuse Vakuum verliert. Die Leckageerkennung ist im gleichen Stromkreis integriert, so dass bei Wassereintritt eine akustische und optische Anzeige erfolgt.  Das Nauticam-System ist temperaturkompensiert und eliminiert Fehlalarme, die durch eine Änderung der Außentemperatur oder durch die Erwärmung einer Kamera bei einem actionreichen Tauchgang verursacht werden.  

Sony, pioneers of the full-frame mirrorless camera with their A7 line have brought us their latest iteration and it is awesome. Taking cues from the just-released A9 the A7RIII adds better autofocus, faster continuous shooting, and the still-awesome 5-axis stabilization rated at an amazing 5.5 stops. 4K is recorded from downsampled 5K using the full sensor width or the Super 35 crop mode is also available for a little in-camera zoom. THE SONY ALPHA A7R III The Sony a7R III is the company's latest high-resolution full frame mirrorless camera. Much like Nikon's recent D850, it's one that combines resolution with high speed and fast autofocus capabilities to a degree we've not previously seen. The Sony a7R III achieved an overall DxOMark sensor score of 100 points, the same as the Nikon D850. This makes it the highest-scoring mirrorless system camera to date, beating the A7R II by two points. The a7R III is built around it's 42MP BSI CMOS sensor and can shoot up to ten frames per second. 4K footage can be captured either from the full width of the sensor or from a Super 35 size crop. The camera can also shoot 1080p video at up to 120p and has a function to conform this footage back down to 24 or 30p, if you want out-of-camera slow-mo. These functions are also available from both the full width of the sensor or from the cropped region. 5-axis image stabilization ('Steadyshot') is available in all modes. The a7R III inherits many of the lessons learned from the company's pro-sports model, the a9. This means faster processing, improved autofocus, improved handling and ergonomics, as well as the adoption of a much larger battery!

Ergonomic camera control access is one of the defining strengths of a Nauticam housing, and the NA-7RIII continues this tradition. Essential camera parameter changes are made from the handles, without awkward reaches. The NA-A7RIII housing inherits the core design elements from the Nauticam pro DSLR range, and bundles them in a more compact package. A patented port locking lever allows lens changes to be made in seconds. Opening the housing for quick battery and media changes is fast and easy with the locking housing latches. All aspects of the system are a seamless extension of the camera. The NA-A7RIII is equipped with two M16 and one M14 bulkhead. This allows for the addition of a variety of bulkhead accessories such as a Vacuum Valve, electronic flash triggering bulkhead, and even HDMI Bulkheads for video. With "clean" 4K 4:2:2 HDMI output, pairing the NA-A7RIII with an external recorder from Atomos will enhance the incredible video capabilities of this camera even more. 4K is created from oversampled 5K when recording in-camera to UHS-II cards giving extremely high quality internal recording as well. Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-A7RIII 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 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.

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 Nikon D780 brings many of the technological advancements in autofocus, live-view shooting and video performance from the Z series mirrorless cameras to a full-frame DSLR.  A true hybrid shooter, the D780 employs a full-frame BSI 24.5MP sensor to create still images with incredible detail and dynamic range as well as to produce UHD 4K video from the full sensor width.  Autofocus and metering enhancements as well as video output over HDMI options allow the D780 to excel in both video and still applications. THE NIKON D780 DSLR CAMERA While the Nikon D850 dominates the high-megapixel end of the Nikon DSLR lineup and the D5 delivers unparalleled dynamic range and low-light capability the D780 is a blend of both with a splash of Z-series mirrorless hybrid-shooting capability thrown in.  The D780 is built around a 24.5MP BSI CMOS sensor powered by the newest EXPEED 6 image processor.  The lower pixel density, as compared to its D850 sibling, means increased low-light sensitivity and higher dynamic range.  Being a Backside Illuminated (BSI) sensor also brings greater color resolution capability.  The D780 also borrows heavily from Nikon's Z-series mirrorless cameras to refine its live-view and video shooting experiences.  Overall, the D780 is a high-powered hybrid shooter for those not looking to move into the mirrorless space, yet wanting more of the flexibility these systems offer.   Key Camera Specs 24.5MP BSI CMOS Sensor Dual Gain ISO System ISO Range of 100-51,200 (expandable to 204,800) UHD 4K 30p Video 10-bit UHD 4K output over HDMI with N-Log or HLG On-sensor 273-point AF System for Live View and Video Shooting The D780 has an even greater ISO range than the D850 and features a dual-gain readout system.  The dual-gain configuration allows the D780 to maximize dynamic range at lower ISO values while prioritizing noise-reduction at higher ISO values.  This capability is driven by the new EXPEED 6 processor, allowing faster pixel readout speed.  This increased speed also translated to improved video performance with the ability to record UHD 4K video at up to 30p using the full sensor width.   Autofocus on the D780 has received advancements over the D750, not only in still image capture via the optical viewfinder but also in live-view and video capture modes.  The D780 uses the on-sensor phase-detection system seen on Nikon's Z-series mirrorless cameras which employs 273 AF-points that cover  ~90% of the frame to achieve fast and accurate autofocus during live-view shooting at up to -6EV (in Low-Light mode, or -4 in standard mode).  This live-view autofocus system also carries over to video mode, supercharging the D780's video capabilities.  The autofocus speed while video/live-view shooting can also be tuned using an 11-point scale and an AF-F mode allows the autofocus to function continuously without a half-press of the shutter button, similar to AF-C in video mode. The D780 can also output 10-bit UHD 4K at 30p over HDMI.  The output signal can take advantage of two different gamma curves, N-Log, which maximizes dynamic range for post-processing or the more viewer-ready HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma).  Combined with an external recorder, this capability allows maximum potential extraction from the D780's sensor.  Internal recording is UHD 4K at up to 30p.  Users can decide whether to carry over still shooting settings to video or set them independently.  If image stabilization is required, the D780 can employ electronic image stabilization using a slight 1.1x crop. THE NAUTICAM NA-D780 UNDERWATER HOUSING The NA-D780 underwater housing follows suit with Nauticam's drive for innovation.  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. 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 Info and Playback controls. The Zoom In and Zoom Out controls are located on the the left side of the housing to a location familiar to Nauticam housing users. 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-D780 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-D780 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-D780 uses the same N120 Port System as the previous Nikon DSLRs which makes for a seamless transition for those upgrading.  While this system provides exceptional optical-glass and flat port solutions for a wide variety of F Mount lenses, the real power of the D780 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 NIKON Z 50 CAMERA Nikon's Z Mount debuted with the Z 6 and Z 7 full-frame mirrorless cameras and is one of the widest lens mounts available in its class.  This wider mount allows for faster and more compact lens designs.  The Z 50 is equipped with a 20.9MP DX (APS-C) CMOS image sensor that is mated to their EXPEED 6 processor.  The Z 50 lists a native ISO range of 100-51,200 and has extensive Auto ISO controls spread across its operating modes.  4K UHD video is captured using the entire width of the sensor meaning no loss in the lens' field-of-view, a critical feature for the underwater video shooter.  HD video at up to 120fps allows for dynamic slow motion capture.  Switching between still and video is accomplished via a convenient switch on the rear of the camera and the Z 50 maintains discrete exposure settings for each mode.  This makes switching between video and still shooting even easier without having to make excessive setting changes. Key Camera Specs 20.9MP CMOS DX Format image sensor UHD 4K Video at up to 30p or HD at 120fps Twin control dials 2.36M-dot OLED Viewfinder 11fps continuous shooting Pop-up flash THE NAUTICAM NA-Z50 UNDERWATER HOUSING Nauticam's NA-Z50 is designed around the N100 Port System which is also used in the lineup of full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras such as the Sony A7r IV and Fujifilm X-T3.  The NA-Z50's form-fitting style and intuitive control placement make the system ideal for the traveling photographer that demands a reliable and portable underwater imaging platform. MISSION CONTROL Nauticam's driving design philosophy aims to place controls on the housing where they are most needed.  The NA-Z50 features molded ergonomic handles with stainless steel stiffening brackets that eliminate wobble when using large strobes.  The main and sub command dials are accessed via large textured knobs within easy reach of the right handle.  The Nauticam patented multi-direction pad makes menu navigation or autofocus point movement seamless.  A double thumb-lever, easily pressed without removing your hand from the right grip, activates the AF-ON and REC buttons on the camera.  A thumb lever near the left handle is for PLAYBACK.   For video shooters, the Nikon Z50 maintains separate exposure settings in Still and Video modes and switching between the modes is done via a convenient switch which is easily accessed on the top of the NA-Z50 housing.  With extensive Auto ISO controls, the NA-Z50 is an ideal platform to create video content with the Z 50's UHD 4K 30p or HD 120p capture. FLASH TRIGGERING The Nikon Z 50 has a pop-up flash that can be used to provide accurate TTL flash triggering using the integrated fiber-optic bulkheads.  A switch on the housing allows the flash to be raised or lowered to allow quick switching between ambient and artificial light shooting.  To reduce refresh time and extend the camera's battery life, the NA-Z50 can be outfitted with the optional TTL Converter for Nikon (26308).  Operating off of two coin-cell batteries and interfacing via a hot-shoe connection to the camera, the TTL Converter uses LEDs to deliver a TTL signal to external strobes.   PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS Nikon continues to increase their Z Mount lens lineup and the Z 50 is the first DX format camera to feature the larger mount.  Nikon's first lens for the system, the stabilized Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm F3.5-6.3 VR lens is ideal for underwater use when paired with Nauticam's water contact optics lineup.  Compatible with both the WWL-C and WWL-1* wide angle conversion lenses, this combination delivers full zoom-through capabilities with a stunning 130º field-of-view and ~0" minimum focus distance.  Using Nauticam's Bayonet Mount system, the WWL-C or WWL-1 can be swapped for either the CMC-1 or CMC-2 underwater, converting the system to capture true macro and super-macro.  When using full-frame (FX) or APS-C (DX) F mount lenses via the Nikon FTZ Adapter with the NA-Z50, the 35.5mm N100 to N120 Port Adapter (37305) is used in conjunction with the corresponding N120 Port recommendations for those lenses. * no vignetting at 20mm onwards with WWL-1B VIEWFINDER OPTIONS The Nikon Z50 has 2.36M-dot OLED viewfinder.  The NA-Z50 is compatible with Nauticam's magnifying viewfinders which are available in both 45º and 180º configurations.  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. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-Z50 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.

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.

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.

The Canon EOS C70 packs a lot of the features we love about cinema cameras into a small mirrorless style body.  With a Super35 sensor using Canon's next generation Dual Gain Output, the C70 also includes Dual Pixel CMOS AF autofocus, a built in ND filter and is the first EOS cinema camera to use Canon's new RF lens mount.  When you combine that with the "Canon Color" we have come to love underwater, this makes for one of the most compact and capable cinema cameras to date.   THE CANON EOS C70 CINEMA CAMERA The Canon EOS C70 is a compact form-factor cinema camera built around a Super35 Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor.  With 16+ stops of high dynamic range the C70 can record DCI 4K up to 60fps and 2K up to 120fps.  Without the extended dynamic range it can capture UHD 4K up to 120fps and 2k up to 180fps.  Integrated into the camera is a motorized 10-stop Neutral Density filter along with an air intake system allowing for unlimited video recording. KEY CAMERA SPECIFICATIONS: Super35 Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensory DCI 4K 60p, Hi-Speed UHD 4K 120p/2K 180p Dual Pixel CMOS AF 16+ Stops of High Dynamic Range DIG!C DV7 Image Processory Canon Log 2 and Log 3 Gamma Dual SD Card Slots RF Lens Mount Built-in ND Filters  THE NAUTICAM NA-C70 UNDERWATER HOUSING Nauticam has long been producing industry-leading housings for Cinema cameras and have taken that experience to create the most advanced underwater cinema system housings available. Taking advantage of the small form factor of the C70, the Nauticam NA-C70 is ultra-portable yet offers full access to the camera's critical functions.  Regardless of where a button or control dial may lie on the camera body, Nauticam engineers obsess over making sure that access to that control on the housing be intuitively placed for ease of use to insure no shot is missed while searching for a button or dial.  To take this a step further, Nauticam has also integrated the Nauticam to Canon SDK Control Board in the rear door of the housing which places a variety of electronic control functions at your finger tips.  This connects to the camera through pogo pins between the rear housing door and the front camera tray eliminating the risk of straining any cables while opening the housing door for media or battery changes.   The Canon C70 present shooters with the ability to use both the available legacy EF lenses via an adaptor in addition to the native RF optics.  To support both the legacy and native lenses, Nauticam has integrated the NA-C70 into the N120 port system. Canon's EF to EOS R mount adaptors can be affixed to the camera before insertion into the housing. When using the EOS C70 inside the housing with the EF to EOS R adaptor and a supported EF lens, the port and extension ring arrangement will be identical to the same setup on a Nauticam Canon N120 EF-Mount housing.  Two lens release buttons, one for RF and one for EF, are located on the front of the housing to make lens removal through the port opening simple.  In addition to the standard EF to EOS R adaptors, there is also support for the Canon EF to EOS R 0.71x Mount Adaptor through an optional 16702 NA-C70 Camera Tray.   The housing will accommodate the Canon BP-A30 and larger BP-A60 batteries, providing plenty of run time. As with previous Cinema System housings, the Nauticam NA-C70 features large control knobs for focus and zoom which also feature marking disks that can be removed and marked with the desired lens position or focus information. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-C70 as standard equipment.  With the optional 25625 M16 Vacuum Valve II, 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-C70 uses the same N120 Port System as the previous N120 cinema housings which makes for a seamless transition for those upgrading or looking to add an additional camera to their lineup.  While this system provides exceptional optical-glass and flat port solutions for a wide variety of EF and RF mount lenses, the real power 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 Canon 100mm F2.8L macro lens provide 2x and 4x magnification respectively and the SMC-1 actually provides a resulting image with increased contrast and sharpness than the 100mm lens itself can achieve in air without a magnifier.

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 latest Canon APS-C mirrorless camera is finally here!  The Canon EOS R7 utilizes Canon's newest RF mount and boasts a 32.5MP CMOS sensor.  Crop-sensor cameras have always been popular with the underwater shooter community and with good reason. Lens choices, size, and weight are just a few of the great features that shooting APS-C cameras has. The EOS R7 gives original Canon 7D and 7D Mark II shooters a great reason to upgrade and Nauticam is ready to help with the NA-R7 housing.   The Canon EOS R7 Camera The Canon EOS R7 is the latest in Canon's APS-C 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 R7 uses a 32.5MP CMOS sensor with in-body image stabilization which can reduce shake by up to 7 stops.  The camera's Dual Pixel II autofocus system was carried over from the pro body EOS R3 and features 651 automatic AF points covering the entire sensor area.  It is also capable of recording oversampled 4K 30p video using the full 7K area of the sensor, or subsampled UHD 4K up to 60p from the full sensor width.   The Canon EOS R7 can also use the large EF-mount lens lineup via a simple EF to EOS R adaptor.  The Nauticam NA-R7 housing only supports the the standard EF to EOS R adaptor and does give access to the control ring or drop in filter adaptors.   Key features - Canon EOS R7 32.5MP APS-C CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel AF Up to 30 fps shooting (e-shutter), 15 fps with mechanical In-body image stabilization, rated at up to 7 stops Oversampled UHD 4K up to 30p, line-skipped or cropped 4K/60p 10-bit video as 'PQ' true HDR footage or C-Log 2.36M dot OLED viewfinder 1.62M dot fully-articulating touchscreen Twin UHS-II SD card slot Environmental sealing The Canon EOS R7 underwater housing from Nauticam   The NA-R7 underwater housing follows suit with Nauticam's drive for innovation. Like the full frame Canon EOS R5, R5 C and R3, the NA-R7 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 designed a N100 to N120 adapter which integrates into the N120 Canon EF port system. Canon's EF to RF mount adapters can be affixed to the camera before insertion into the housing. When using the EOS R7 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-S lens lineup emerges, dedicated port and extension ring combinations will be listed on the new N100 RF-S Port Chart.  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-R7 where a dual thumb lever is placed by the right front side accessing the M-Fn and Record buttons.  On the rear right side is a thumb lever accessing AF-ON. Near the left handle is a thumb lever for "Playback." 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. Flash triggering Flash triggering is achieved via one of two optional Flash Triggers, a manual LED trigger (NA26305) 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 system for vacuum testing and leak detection The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection electronics are shipped with the NA-R7 as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory 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.

Atop the housing on the left side are controls 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-a1 has both an 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-a1's inherent flexibility. Built around the N100 Port System, the NA-a1 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-1B. 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.
