PRESS RELEASE

Announcing Nauticam Support for Canon EOS M3

A full-featured, ergonomic housing for the Canon MIL flagship.

Nauticam is pleased to announce the release of the NA-EOSM3, the newest offering in the largest lineup of precision aluminum underwater camera housings available today.

The Canon EOS M3

EOS M3 is a high performance 24 megapixel APS-C mirrorless body that signals Canon's new commitment to the mirrorless segment.  EOS M3 improves upon its predecessors in nearly every way, but most noticeably autofocus.  The system uses 49 on sensor phase-detect points that result in focus speeds up to 6 times faster than the original EOS M.

New Shutter Release Extension

NA-EOSM3 ergonomics are perfectly engineered for a "right hand on the grip" shooting style.  Some users, especially those diving in cold water with dry gloves, need alternate ways to hold and operate the camera.

This included shutter release extension and stainless steel handle bracket provide convenient shutter release access when used with the Nauticam Tray and Handle Systems.

Locking Rotary Latch

A large, locking rotary latch securely closes the housing back door.  

Sculpted Grip
Ergonomic Shutter release lever and contoured grip.

Patented Port Locking Lever

The Port Locking Lever is a signature Nauticam feature, providing the easiest and most secure port attachment available today.  No twisting, just push in, and lock!

Recommended Accessories

The Nauticam LCD Magnifier (pn 25106) and LCD Magnifier Attachment Rails (pn 25122) allows for a clear, closeup view of the 1 m-dot EOS M3 LCD Screen.  The rubber hood and eye cup provide generous shading for clear viewing even in bright light, and magnifying optics with dioptric adjustment provide a sharp image for precise confirmation of fine focus.

M14 Vacuum Valve (pn 25611)

The NA-EOSM3 Housing ships with the Nauticam Vacuum Monitoring and Leak Detection circuitry installed as standard equipment.  An accessory Vacuum Valve is required to unlock vacuum monitoring functionality.

The Nauticam Easitray (pn 71206), Flexitray (71207), and Flexitray W (71209) provide added flexibility in underwater handling, enhanced ergonomics when used in cold water with thick gloves, and mounting locations for a myriad of accessories.

Recommended EF-M Lenses

Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM

An ideal mid-range zoom, covering the entire range between wide angle and macro images, and capable of excellent closeups.

Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

A versatile wide angle zoom, free from fisheye distortion, with over 100 degrees of diagonal coverage at 11mm.

Recommended EOS Lenses (used with EF-EOS M Adaptor)

EF-EOS M Adaptor with Canon 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM

8-15 is a truely remarkable fisheye zoom lens.  Covering a range from 10-15mm on APS-C without vignette, 8-15 provides the underwater photographer with a 180 deg full frame fisheye that can zoom down to a narrower 120 deg diagonal.  This lens is perfectly suited to close focus wide angle and big animal shooting.

EF-EOS M Adaptor, with Canon EF-S 60mm or EF 100mm Macro Lenses

The Canon 60mm and 100mm IS L macro lenses provide two outstanding options for the EOS M3 owner interested in macro and super macro imaging.

Both Lenses are capable of 1:1 reproduction ratio.  The 100mm lens has added working distance, image stabilization, and legendary "L" lens image quality.

For super macro subjects, add the revolutionary Super Macro Converter (pn 81201, SMC-1).  SMC Achieves 1.7:1 reproduction ratio when paired with the 60mm, and a stunning 2.2:1 reproduction ratio with the 100mm L lens.
