NA-GFX100II

The GFX100 II introduces a revolutionary 102-megapixel large-format sensor. With the GFX100 II, you will experience precise subject detection, superior tracking AF and unparalleled video capabilities never seen in any previous GFX system or X Series camera. Enhanced by upgraded AI-developed autofocus algorithms and a cutting-edge 9.44-million dot EVF, photographers gain unparalleled accuracy. Filmmakers will benefit from 4K/60p and 8K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit in camera recording. 

Key Camera Specs

• New 102mp CMOS II HS and X-processor 5
  
• 9.44 million dot EVF
• Full width 4k60 4:2:2 ProRes
• Multiple Cinema Formats: FUJINON, PREMISTA, 35mm, and 35mm Anamorphic 
• Worlds first: Natively enabled for Frame.io Camera-to-cloud integration with no accessory requirements 

The GF-mount lens lineup continues to grow, with more and more lenses meeting the criteria underwater image-makers are after. Paired with the camera's medium-format 102MP sensor, which is 68% larger than a full-frame sensor, the resulting images have lower noise and greater dynamic range for a given exposure value.

The GFX100 II features the latest X-Processor 5 chip which powers the improved autofocus system that covers virtually 100% of the image area. The camera's large built-in OLED viewfinder has a 9.44M-dot resolution and features variable refresh rates and resolution to enhance battery life.

Video from the GFX100 II uses the full sensor width, preserving the original field-of-view of the lens, and can be recorded internally as 4K 60p video. Over HDMI the GFX100 II can output either an uncompressed 16-bit raw or 10-bit 4:2:2 4K video signal, excellent news for those using external monitors/recorders such as the Atomos Ninja V.

With dedicated settings for both still or video modes, switching between shooting modes is quick and easy via a lever atop the camera. The camera's "Q" menu can be customized to provide the most valuable information as either an overlay on the live-view representation or as the entire LCD area.

The Nauticam NA-GFX100 II

The NA-GFX100 II 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. Achieving 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-GFX100 II is designed with our 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. Also, a new front lever to quickly switch between aperture and ISO sensitivity. The left side has a double lever for 'PLAYBACK' and 'DISP' as levers for turning the EF-X20 TTL flash on or off and a front double lever to access Fn5 & Fn6. 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-GFX100 II 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 using 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 26351 Flash Trigger for Fujifilm and built-in fiber-optic bulkheads. An option for electronic strobe connection without TTL is also possible using the optional M14 Nikonos bulkhead with a universal hot shoe.

HDMI Output

The GFX100 II can output high-quality uncompressed 4K video over HDMI and the NA-GFX100 II is compatible with 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-GFX100 II comes with the Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system as standard equipment. Combined with an optional accessory vacuum valve 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.
