NAUTICAM NA-Z5II Housing for Nikon Z5II Camera

Nikon Z5II Camera

The Nikon Z5II, a refinement of its predecessor, boasts enhanced processing speed, subject recognition autofocus, and exceptional low-light performance. Equipped with a full-frame FX-format 24.5MP BSI CMOS sensor and an EXPEED 7 image processor, the Z5II delivers remarkable image quality.

The AI-driven autofocus, derived from the Z9 and enhanced by deep learning technology, now employs sophisticated Subject Detection for nine distinct subject types. This ensures precise focus and tracking, even in challenging lighting conditions.

The EXPEED 7 processor also enables Pre-Release Capture, a feature that captures up to one second prior to shutter release at an impressive 30 frames per second. This allows photographers to capture the precise moment and avoid missed shots.

In addition to its impressive imaging capabilities, the Z5II has been enhanced to deliver exceptional video recording performance. It supports UHD 4K video recording at up to 60 fps and Full HD recording at up to 120 fps, enabling videographers to capture dynamic and immersive footage.

NA-Z5II Housing

The NA-Z5II underwater housing upholds Nauticam’s dedication to innovation. Essential controls are conveniently accessible via ergonomic handles, facilitating an efficient setup that optimizes time spent in the water and minimizes time spent on rig maintenance. The N120 port system accommodates both Nikon Z Mount and legacy F Mount lenses via the FTZ/FTZ II adapter. Nauticam’s extensive range of ports and in-house corrective optics complement the NA-Z5II’s capabilities. When equipped with an accessory vacuum valve, the integrated vacuum check and leak detection system provides continuous updates on the housing’s watertight integrity. A vacuum system reset switch, located beneath the tray, eliminates the necessity to open the back of the housing during lens or port changes. The optional NA-Z5II LCD window for Full Frame viewfinders enables the utilization of Nauticam Full Frame viewfinders for enhanced viewing. The NA-Z5II is capable of supporting additional mounting with 1/4-20, M10, and M5 holes on the top for monitors and lighting, while the bottom accepts the 25218 Tripod Mounting Ball set. The NA-Z5II is ready for customization to meet your specific shooting requirements.

Nikon F-Mount & Z-Mount Lens Support

The Nauticam NA-Z5II is designed to accomodate both Z-Mount and F-Mount lenses.  With the new compact design of the NA-Z5II housing, there are newly released zoom and focus gears that will drive off the main zoom/focus knob on the housing.  There is also the 22225 N120 FTZ Adapter ER 25 with Knob which will allow you to use previous generation Z-Mount zoom and focus gear along with F-Mount lenses and their corresponding gears.  For complete compatibility details, you can view the NA-Z6III/Z5II Port Chart.  

PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS

Nauticam’s professional water-contact optics deliver the highest underwater image quality. The FCP, WACP, and WWL lines enhance wide-angle, while the MFO and SMC offer exceptional macro and super macro capabilities. The EMWL allows you to shoot macro, wide-angle, or combine the styles for unique images.

Mission Control

In true Nauticam fashion, essential controls are placed as close to the handles as possible, making these housings the most intuitive and user-friendly available. Our engineers strategically position controls where they’re needed most, rather than simply near the corresponding buttons on the camera. Dials feature rubberized finger grooves, and levers are designed for smooth operation.

Integrated Vacuum Check & Leak Detection Electronics

The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-Z5II as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (PN 25625), this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur.The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

Flash Triggering

Flash triggering on the Nikon Z5Il in the NA-Z5II is available via either optical or electrical trigging.
