The NA-α1II Housing
The NA-α1II Housing is based on the Nauticam NA-a9III housing and can
accommodate both the Sony a1II and a9III camera bodies with no adapters
of modifications. This truly makes this housing one of the ultimate
underwater imaging tools able to capture high resolution as well as
low-light stills and high resolution, low-noise and high-framerate
video.
Mission Control
The driving force behind Nauticam housings is to place controls where
they should be, within easy reach of the ergonomic handles for an
intuitive and smooth underwater filming experience. The NA-α1II
features a dual action thumb lever on near the right handle that
actuates the 'AF-ON' and 'REC' buttons. Near the left handle is a thumb
lever for 'PLAYBACK'. The shutter release, main and sub command dials
are also all within easy reach without taking your hands off the
handles.
Professional Optics
The NA-α1II housing is built around the N100 port opening allowing
for a wide variety of optics solutions from extreme wide-angle to super
macro. In addition to supporting traditional wide angle dome port and
macro flat-port configurations, the NA-α1II can support much of
Nauticam's range of Water Contact Optics from the Fisheye Conversion
Port (FCP) to the Extended Macro Wide Lens (EMWL). To truly unlock the
creative possibilities of these two cameras, pairing them with either
the WACP-1B, WACP-C or WWL-1B gives impressive 130º rectilinear
field-of-view, ~0" minimum focus distance, full zoom through
capabilities and the incredible corner sharpness. If more coverage is
needed, the FCP provides 170º fisheye coverage with full zoom through
and close focus capabilities. Take your macro imaging to the next level
with either increased 2.3X magnification with the new SMC-3 close-up
lens or the wide-angle macro look of the EMWL 160º lens.
EVF Enhancement
Both the Sony A1II and A9 III feature the same ultra-high resolution 9.4M-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF). To truly take full advantage of this underwater consider pairing it with one of the Nauticam Enhanced 0.8:1 Viewfinders. These underwater viewfinders are designed to give full edge-to-edge magnified viewing and include a diopter that can be adjusted underwater to match your vision.
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.
Build Quality
Nauticam build quality is simply unmatched, using cutting-edge product design and modern, innovative manufacturing techniques that result in trouble-free reliability. A bit like a fine Swiss timepiece, the complexity under the hood results in a trouble-free user experience that just works, and keeps working for years to come.
Flash triggering
Please set the "Sync Terminal Settings" to always, then camera can output a flash signal to the Multi Interface Shoe when shooting.
MENU -> (Exposure/Color) -> (Flash) -> (Sync Terminal Settings) -> Always
Integrated Vacuum Check and Leak Detection System
The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-A9III as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (PN 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.
