With the GFX100S, Fujifilm has transferred the power of the larger
medium-format GFX100 into a smaller camera body that is more in line
with the standard mirrorless full-frame cameras while also making
various performance improvements. The GFX100S maintains the 102MP BSI
CMOS sensor yet features a smaller and lighter in-body image
stabilization system, autofocus points that cover virtually 100% of the
image frame and is powered by the X-Processor 4 chip.
The Nauticam NA-GFX100S Underwater Housing
The NA-GFX100S is built with the singular focus of creating an
underwater housing that blends ergonomic design, intuitive control
placement and rugged field-tested durability. The resulting machined
aluminum housing can be further refined with the addition of accessories
from magnifying viewfinders to external monitors/recorders. To achieve
the full benefit of the stunning 102MP resolution requires the use of
underwater optics that are designed with high-resolution lenses in mind
to deliver the highest optical quality possible.
Mission Control Design
The NA-GFX100S is designed with Nauticam's Mission Control
philosophy which dictates placing controls where they are needed most,
meaning no more missed shots fumbling for a control or dial. The
majority of exposure and focus controls are within easy reach of the
ergonomic handles that feature stainless steel stiffening brackets to
reduce any unwanted movement even when using large strobes or video
lights. A multi-direction pad on the upper right of the rear panel gives
access to the camera's joystick. A double lever near the right handle
activates the 'AF-ON' and 'Q' controls. Also on the right side are
levers for Focus and View modes. The left side has a double lever for
'PLAYBACK' and 'DISP' as as levers for turning the EF-X20 TTL flash on
or off and one for the cameras 'V-Fn4' control. On top of the housing is
a lever for switching between 'STILL' and 'VIDEO' modes.
Premium Professional Optics
Built around the N120 Port System, the NA-GFX100S supports a
variety of GF-mount lenses with a selection of optical-quality glass and
acrylic ports as well as access to Nauticam's lineup of premium
professional optics. These optics are designed suing industrial lens
design software to provide unparalleled optical quality and impressive
fields-of-view. The Wide-Angle Conversion Port 2 or WACP2, when used
with the Laowa 17mm f/4 GFX Zero-D lens can achieve an impressive 140º
FOV with an almost 0" minimum focus distance and incredible corner
sharpness even at wider-open apertures such as f/5.6.
Flash Triggering
Flash triggering is via the optional Fujifilm EF-X20 TTL flash and
built-in fiber-optic bulkheads. An option for electronic strobe
connection without TTL is also possible using the optional M14 Nikonos
bulkhead with universal hot-shoe.
HDMI Output
The GFX100S can output high-quality uncompressed 4K video over
HDMI and the NA-GFX100S is compatible the Nauticam HDMI 2.0 system via
the front M24 bulkhead. Even when recording video internally, the use of
an external monitor over either HDMI 1.4 or 2.0 is a great tool to help
with composition or image review.
Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System
The NA-GFX100S comes with the
Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system as standard equipment.
This monitoring system, working in tandem with the pre-installed vacuum
valve, 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.
