TTL converter for Olympus in NAUTICAM housing

Compared to the previous OM-D E-M1, and all other Olympus Micro Four Thirds cameras, the E-M1 II is an improvement in every way. The new 20MP Live MOS sensor provides a useful bump in resolution. Dual quad core processors combine to allow 60 fps burst shooting (18 fps with autofocus). An incredibly advanced autofocus system (121 focus points covering 75-80% of the frame) grabs subjects instantly without hunting, and doesn’t let go when tracking. THE OLYMPUS OM-D EM1 MARK II It takes more than just headline grabbing specs on paper to make a great underwater camera system, and the E-M1 Mark II does many of the less obvious things right. The “2×2” dial and button structure doubles the functionality of the control dials and assignable push buttons. Typically these dials control shutter speed and aperture when shooting in manual mode, but with a flick of the 2×2 lever they are reassigned to other parameters (like ISO and Exposure Compensation, as an example). The control dials provide the easiest way to access frequently used camera settings directly, and Olympus has doubled their usefulness! It seems to be a trend among camera makers to sacrifice battery life and handling in an effort to to reduce overall size. Olympus didn’t make this mistake with E-M1 Mark II. The substantial hand grip provides exceptional handling, even with larger lenses, and makes space to accommodate a large battery that offers an exceptional 440 shots per charge (based on the CIPA rating, and many more are likely in real world use). Also new, and notable, is a high bitrate UHD (4K) video recording mode coupled with very capable image stabilization. The camera offers HDMI output to an external monitor, providing an upgraded display for framing, exposure check, and focus confirmation.

Five and a half years ago, Nauticam entered the Micro Four Thirds underwater housing segment. 17 housing models later, Nauticam is proud to have produced more mirrorless underwater camera housings than any other manufacturer. The Nauticam NA-EM1II isn’t a new design, it is a refinement of the housings that have come previously. The system is field tested, and underwater photographer approved. The housing is small, but not at the expense of functionality or ergonomics. Integrated handles provide a sturdy and comfortable base to operate the system from. An ergonomic shutter release lever, thumb lever for AE-L / AF-L, and well placed control dials provide the same operational feel as any Nauticam DSLR housing. Control buttons are placed within easy reach of the handles, with sufficient spacing to allow easy operation, even by feel. The ergonomic experience of this system is clearly influenced by Nauticam DSLR systems, with class leading control access and feel. More than just good looking, this is a rugged housing, ready to tackle thousands of hours of underwater abuse. Crafted from solid aircraft aluminum, the housing can reach depths of 100m with ease. The secure single rotating housing latch opens the housing back. The camera drops in easily. The rear mounted housing o-ring makes maintenance simple. Dual fiber optic synch ports are standard and take advantage of the camera included FL-LM3 flash for strobe triggering. To make the most of the E-M1 Mark II’s excellent electronic view finder (EVF), Nauticam allows for installation of the acclaimed 45º and 180º magnified viewfinders, providing the ultimate in composition and focus ability. The NA-EM1II is a professional grade underwater housing, supporting the pro-level E-M1 II camera body to its full potential. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS It’s all about the glass, and lenses are the key to terrific photography. This has always been a strength of Olympus systems, and the lineup is now stronger than ever thanks to the Nauticam Wet Wide Lens (WWL-1). WWL-1, paired with an Olympus 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Lens or ED 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ*, provides a full zoom through ultra wide angle field of view. In our tests, this combination exceeds the corner sharpness and clarity of even very good micro four thirds wide angle lenses behind dome ports. WWL-1 will focus on its front element for unmatched close focus wide angle performance, and full zoom through means you can zoom to crop in camera for tighter framing. WWL-1 is mounted via a quick change bayonet system that allows fast and easy one handed mounting and removal. An optional lens caddy provides a place to park the WWL-1 lens when not in use. For closeup and macro work, the Nauticam Compact Macro Converter (CMC-1, PN 81301) allows images smaller than 1? wide to be captured. Ultra wide, mid-range and macro imaging capability, all on the same dive! There are many more options for the underwater photographer, including any of the several 14-42mm options, the Panasonic Lumix G X VARIO 12-35mm F2.8 ASPH. POWER O.I.S., Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO, Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH, Panasonic Lumix G 14mm F2.5 ASPH, and the Leica DG Macro Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH. *12-50 is usable with WWL-1 from approximately 15.5mm – 50mm with WWL-1. VIEWFINDER OPTIONS  A clear view for fine focus and composition is critical for successful underwater photography, and nothing beats a magnifying viewfinder. These viewfinders use distance, not closeup vision, and provide a large, clear view of the high resolution Olympus electronic viewfinder. Available in Angled 45º (PN 32205) and Straight 180º (PN 32204) formats, both viewfinders have external dioptric adjustments for dialing in perfect correction matched to the photographer’s eyesight. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is available with NA-EM1II as standard equipment. Combined with an optional vacuum valve (PN 25624), 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. FLASH CONNECTORS FOR OPTICAL TTL Reliable automatic flash exposure is available with the NA-EM1II and a variety of optically fired flashes. The Inon Z-240, D-2000, S-2000, and Sea & Sea YS-D1/YS-D2 strobes provide automated lighting, precisely reproducing the camera’s FL-LM3 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-EM1II comes fiber optic ready and accepts standard Sea & Sea style bushing connections. Nauticam Fiber Optic cables, available for both Inon and Sea & Sea strobes, provide exceptional light transmission for accurate TTL Performance. RAPID FIRE OPTICAL TRIGGERING The E-M1 Mark II camera with FL-LM3 flash is limited to 2-3 fps continuous shooting, even when a low manual power is selected in the camera flash menu. In situations where continuous optical shooting is required, Nauticam’s Mini Flash Trigger (26306) can trigger external strobes over fiber optic at up to 10 frames per second! The trigger is powered by onboard coin style lithium batteries, with thousands of flashes available from a set. Electrical triggering of legacy wired strobe systems is possible via an electrical Nikonos style bulkhead (optional).

The compact design of the NA-EM10II  is designed to allow convenient access to the shutter release, front command dial, rear command dial, Fn1, Fn2, film and even the EVF/LCD shutter lever from the photographer's right hand. A rubberized zoom and focus control allows for ergonomic, tactile lens control.

THE OLYMPUS OM-D E-M10 MARK III CAMERA The third incarnation of the entry-level OM-D, the E-M10 Mark III adds stabilized 4K video to it's already notable 16MP Four-thirds CMOS sensor. For the still shooter the Mark III provides a snappy 8.6 fps continuous shooting, a 2.36M Dot OLED viewfinder and 121 selectable AF focus points. The added 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization delivers up to 4.0 EV stops of stabilization allowing for buttery smooth video. The Mark III adds the ability to shoot UHD 4K at up to 30p with an approximate bit rate of 102Mbps and C4K at 24fps. KEY CAMERA SPECIFICATIONS 16MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor with no AA Filter 5-axis image stabilization (4 stops of correction) TruePic VIII processor 4K video with in-body and digital stabilization 8.6 fps continuous shooting (4.8 fps with continuous AF) 2.36M-dot electronic viewfinder 1.04M-dot tilting touchscreen 330 shot-per-charge battery life (CIPA standard) THE NAUTICAM NA-EM10III UNDERWATER HOUSING Nauticam has supported all previous models in the Olympus OM-D lineup and have applied that vast experience to the production of the NA-EM10III housing. Access to critical camera functions is the hallmark of all Nauticam housings and the NA-EM10III is no exception. Exposure controls can be easily reached from the right handle including the main and sub-command dials for the adjustment of aperture/shutter speed as well as a thumb lever for video record. Thumb access to the customizable Fn1 button is also enabled. PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS A variety of MFT lensed are supported and the N85 port system provides professional optics to take full advantage of them. In addition, the NA-EM10III supports the use of the WWL-1 wide-angle conversion lens that gives the shooter unparalleled sharpness, a 130º diagonal field and zoom-through capability. VIEWFINDERS The 2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder is best viewed through optional Nauticam magnifying viewfinders, available in both 45º and 180º models. With an external dioptric the viewfinder can be adjusted without tools to the shooters eyesight. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-EM10III 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.

Dieses Gehäuse entspricht seinem Vorgänger NA-EM5: Hochgradig konfigurierbar durch das separate Griffdesign. Dieses Design ermöglicht es dem Benutzer, die Griffe unabhängig voneinander zu konfigurieren. Eine sehr beliebte Option ist es, das Gehäuse mit einem einzigen linken Griff (Flexitray oder Easitray) auszustatten, begleitet von einer Handschlaufe auf der rechten Seite. Dies hilft, das Rigg so klein wie möglich zu machen, mit dem Komfort und der Sicherheit einer Handschlaufe.  Die mühelose (aber sichere), einzeln drehbare Gehäuseverriegelung öffnet den Gehäuseboden. Die Kamera lässt sich leicht einbauen, ohne dass die Bedienelemente voreingestellt werden müssen. Zwei faseroptische Synchronisationsanschlüsse sind Standard und nutzen die Vorteile des Olympus-Zubehörblitzes. Um das Beste aus dem exzellenten elektronischen Sucher (EVF) des E-M5 herauszuholen, hat Nauticam ein optionales hinteres Acrylglasfenster entwickelt, das eine Halterung für die Installation der beliebten 45º und 180º vergrößernden Sucher von Nauticam beinhaltet und somit die ultimative Komposition und Fokussierbarkeit bietet. Ergonomie Wie bei allen Nauticam-Gehäusen wird besonderes Augenmerk auf die Ergonomie gelegt. Tasten und Zifferblätter sind leicht zugänglich und erfordern nur eine minimale Reichweite. Die Haupt- und Subskalen von Olympus sind mit Daumen oder Zeigefinger leicht zugänglich, ohne dass Sie beim Einstellen von Blende und Verschlusszeit den Griff am Gehäuse lösen müssen. Die wichtigen Tasten Fn1 und Fn2 sind ebenso leicht erreichbar und können für eine Vielzahl von Funktionen programmiert werden. Einige der nützlichen Einstellungen sind AF-Sperre, One-Touch-Weißabgleich, manueller Fokus, ISO und Belichtungskorrektur. Die Umschaltung zwischen NS und EVF ist ein Kinderspiel, und durch kurzes Drücken der Info-Taste kann das neue NS-Super-Bedienfeld von Olympus auf dem OLED-Bildschirm ein- oder ausgeblendet werden, um schnellen Zugriff auf viele wichtige Einstellungen zu erhalten. Das Betriebsarten-Einstellrad kann leicht durch den typischen P, A, S, M, Movie-Modus und einige "einfache Aufnahmemodi" gedreht werden. Die Bedienelemente müssen ein richtiges "Gefühl" vermitteln, und der patentierte zweistufige Hebelverschluss von Nauticam ermöglicht eine natürliche, präzise Fokussierung und Aktivierung des Auslösers. Jedes der Features des neuen NA-EM5 wurde mit den gleichen engen Toleranzen wie die der inzwischen berühmten DSLR-Gehäuselinie von Nauticam entwickelt. Diese Qualität wird sich sicherlich in jedem Bild widerspiegeln, das mit diesem außergewöhnlich leistungsstarken Bildgebungssystem aufgenommen wird.  Hochwertige professionelle Optik Das Micro-4/3-System unterstützt eine große Auswahl an hochwertigen Objektiven von Olympus und Panasonic (in Zusammenarbeit mit Leica), und es kommen zunehmend Objektive von Drittanbietern von Sigma zum Einsatz. Es gibt mehrere Objektive, die unter Wasser extrem gut funktionieren (und das zu einem vernünftigen Preis!). Einige Beispiele: Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ: Der ultimative Alleskönner, dieses Objektiv deckt einen sehr nutzbaren mittleren Bereich ab und verfügt über einen einzigartigen Makro-Modus. Fotografieren Sie Delfine und Nacktschnecken im selben Tauchgang! Panasonic Lumix G Fisheye 8mm/F3,5: Dieses 180º Fisheye-Objektiv fokussiert nah und ist gestochen scharf. In Kombination mit einem kleinen Port gibt es keine bessere CFWA (Close Focus Wide Angle) Option auf dem Planeten. Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 60mm f/2.8 Makro: Dies ist ein ideales Makroobjektiv für m4/3, und durch das Hinzufügen der Nauticam CMC wird es zu einem Supermakromonster. Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie füllen die gesamte Breite des Rahmens mit etwas nur 8 mm "Großem"! Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f/4.0 ASPH: Das 7-14mm ist ein geradliniges Objektiv, ideal für die Aufnahme von Menschen oder Haien oder Wracks.... Objekte, bei denen die Fisheyeverzerrung nicht erwünscht ist. Am breiten Ende ist dieses Objektiv 114º breit, ideal, um in die Nähe von Objekten zu gelangen und die Menge des dazwischen liegenden Wassers zu reduzieren. Aber ein Zoom geht bis zu 75º - ideal, um das etwas schüchterner erscheinende Motiv zu erreichen. Die sehr ähnliche Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 kann die gleiche Basisrolle bei geringeren Kosten erfüllen. M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 8mm 1:1.8 PRO und M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 7-14mm 1:2.8 PRO bieten eine verbesserte Leistung bei schnellerer maximaler Öffnung und werden vollständig vom Nauticam-Portsystem unterstützt. Es gibt viele weitere Optionen für den Unterwasserfotografen, einschließlich einer der mehreren 14-42mm Optionen, der Panasonic Lumix G X VARIO 12-35mm F2.8 ASPH. POWER O.I.S., Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO, Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH, Panasonic Lumix G 14mm F2.5 ASPH und das Leica DG Makro Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH. Sucheroptionen Nauticam Sucher sind in den Formaten 45º Winkel und 180º Gerade erhältlich und verfügen beide über externe dioptrische Einstellungen, die perfekt auf das Sehvermögen des Fotografen abgestimmt sind.
