Nauticam NA-G16 Housing for Canon Powershot G16
This product is no longer in production
Nauticam designs and builds aluminum housings for compact cameras with the same uncompromising attention to detail and ergonomics as its acclaimed DSLR housings. That dedication to excellence shows in every aspect of the NA-G16.
All Nauticam products are constantly evolving and improving. Many of the industry leading features found on previous Nauticam housings are clearly evident on the new NA-G16. The comfortable and secure locking rotational latch, rugged machined aluminum case and 100 meter depth rating are now the base line. The rear mounted housing o-ring adopted from recent Nauticams makes maintenance easy and the progressive shutter release provides the best “feel” in the business. Like every Nauticam, the NA G-16 has controls ergonomically placed and clearly labeled just the way Canon does. The NA-G16 takes advantage of Canon’s excellent control set on the G16 and provides an extremely easy interface – even with gloves on. Programmable front and rear command dials are readily available to forefinger and thumb while never releasing grip. The mode dial is quickly accessed at any moment. Manual aperture and shutter speed adjustment is intuitive and thanks to the G16’s unique exposure compensation dial – so is EV control. Video functions are easily engaged with a dedicated record button. Nauticam has provided a flash deployment lever and a window to allow for monitoring Canon’s indicator LEDs showing power, ready to shoot, flash activation status and a “cannot focus” warning.
Nauticam includes a 67mm port thread for mounting optional wet lenses as standard and they precisely engineer the optical glass port specifications for optimal wide angle accessory lens compatibility. The Inon UWL-S100 ZM80 Wide Conversion Lens Is the perfect wide angle companion for the versatile NA-G16 (adapter required) and will provide approximately 100° FOV when the camera lens is zoomed to an 80mm focal length. Even more exciting is the option to add the Inon Dome Lens Unit II for UWLS100 ZM80 for a stunning 150° FOV. Finally a true fisheye option for Canon G series underwater photographers! Any of several popular close-up lenses can be used, including the ground breaking Nauticam Super Macro Converter (SMC). The Nauticam SMC-1 is the only commercially available macro lens specifically designed and optimized for in water use. SMC-1 is extremely powerful, increasing the maximum magnification of G16 by up to 400% at telephoto focal lengths, reducing the captured FOV to a mere 22mm wide (less than an inch wide), and leaving significant working distance. Macro accessory lenses can be attached via a convenient flip adapter, allowing them to be deployed in seconds when needed.
Optical Flash Connectors for Inon S-TTL, and Sea & Sea DS-TTL
Reliable automatic flash exposure is available with the NA-G16 and a variety of optically fired flashes. The Inon Z-240, D-2000, S-2000, Sea & Sea YS-01 and YS-D1 strobes provide automated lighting, precisely reproducing the camera’s onboard flash at a proportionally greater intensity. This system yields accurate automatic TTL flash performance – even in manual mode – with no electrical sync cables to flood! The NA-G16 comes fiber optic ready and accepts standard Sea & Sea style bushing connections.
A single 16mm threaded accessory socket is standard, allowing attachment of electrical flash sync connectors. This system is perfect for older strobes that don’t support optical triggering, or for faster shot to shot times allowed by electrically connected strobes.
Strobes can be attached to the housing via optional strobe mounting balls secured to the handles of the Nauticam accessory tray systems or a single strobe mounting ball location on the housing. The housing also features a cold-shoe mount for a focus light or other accessory mounting options.
