The Nauticam NA-L10 Waterproof Housing for Panasonic L10 Compact Digital Camera
NA-L10 HOUSING
Underwater imaging enthusiasts seek improved performance without sacrificing the compactness and simplicity of their camera systems. World travelers desire a smaller alternative to DSLRs without compromising performance. Addressing these needs, Nauticam introduces the NA-L10 housing, designed to house Panasonic's new L10 Digital Compact camera. The goal was to create a compact and user-friendly housing that delivers exceptional imaging results. Nauticam successfully achieves this by combining their renowned ergonomics and quality in a new housing category.
THE NAUTICAM NA-L10 UNDERWATER HOUSING FOR THE PANASONIC L10 CAMERA
The new innovative system is engineered around the Panasonic L10 and its 24-75mm Lens. This lens provides excellent results in the wide to narrow fish portrait FOV range but is easily married to Nauticam’s superb WWL-1B or WWL-C for exceptionally sharp wide angle coverage with zoom through while still keeping a modest form factor. Nauticam’s Compact Macro Converter water contact optics can be added for a full “do anything and go anywhere” system that easily fits in a traveler's carry on.
Constructed from rugged aluminum, the NA-L10 housing is amongst the most compact and lightest housing available. It's the perfect choice for photographers who want to capture stunning images and videos with best-in-the-industry auto focus, while enjoying the convenience of minimal bulk and maintenance. The housing comes ready to submerge, just add the L10 camera and you are ready to shoot.
COMPACT AND VERSATILE
The NA-L10 underwater housing dimensions are small enough to hand hold without a tray for ultimate freedom if it is required. Measuring just 186mm wide, 132mm in height and 159mm in depth. The NA-L10 has an incredibly small footprint compared to most camera housings, making it extremely appealing and travel-friendly.
WHICH WET LENSES SHOULD I PAIR WITH THE NA-L10?
The magic of the wet lenses is their tremendous versatility, paired with outstanding in-water performance. Both macro and super wide angle interchangeable optics can be available to the underwater photographer on the same dive.

The WWL-1B provides a 130 degree diagonal field of view with the lens at 28mm and allows for full zoom through to about 99 degrees at 40mm. Focus down-to-the-glass performance allows amazing close focus wide angle capability. The all glass WWL-1B lens provides sharper over-all performance then any wide angle lens behind a dome on a typical system. A separate N50 Short Port 25 is required to use the WWL-1B |
|
For those wishing for an even smaller wide angle option without any loss of quality, Nauticam's WWL-C provides a compact all glass optic every bit as sharp as the WWL-1B, but with a zoom range offering 130 degrees at 24mm zooming to about 112 degrees at 30mm. Of course it also focuses to the front optic. A separate N50 Short Port 25 is required to use the WWL-1C |
|
For the Macro aficionados Nauticam strongly recommends the lightweight MF0-1, CMC-1 & CMC-2 lenses for ultimate image quality and better auto-focus performance. Maximum magnification is achieved with the CMC-1 at a focal length of 75mm.
Both Compact macro converters and and the MFO-1 will require the use of a Bayonet Mount Adapter if used with the standard square port.
Also compatible is Nauticam's MFO-1 with a huge working distance of 210-1200mm
FLASH TRIGGERING
With the NA-L10 underwater housing, flash triggering is accomplished by utilising a Nauticam Mini-Flash Trigger adding strobes that employ fiber optic connections a seamless integration.
INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM
|
|
The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection electronics are shipped with the NA-L10 as standard equipment. Combined with the optional M16 vacuum valve (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. There is also a Pro Package which comes with the Vacuum Valve already installed and includes a tray and handle set. |
