Compared to previous generations, it promises stronger build quality, more refined controllability, and the company’s latest autofocus.

The new processor delivers the power to dramatically enhance the camera’s subject recognition for autofocus. The a7R IV is capable of recognizing and prioritizing people, their faces and eyes, but the a7R V does so much more. a7R V is designed to better recognize human subjects but is also trained to recognize a wider variety of non-human objects.

Sony has exploited their high-resolution performance by enhancing the stabilization effect to 8.0 steps. The high-resolution performance of the 61.0 MP image sensor is utilized to the fullest to correct for blur at the single pixel level, capturing even sharper image details. The AWB (auto white balance) function of the α7R V has evolved in tandem with the camera’s AI capabilities. In addition to the Visible Light + IR sensor on the front of the body, the camera’s AI processor helps achieve more accurate white balance in difficult lighting conditions, such as when the subject is in the dark.

In addition to 8K recording, 4K video is oversampled from 6.2k pixels without stitching, for maximum detail, while also offering up to 60p recording and S-Cinetone for electrical representation. superior photo. The camera also allows creative freedom to continuously shoot up to 583 compressed RAW images at 10fps.

Nauticam NA-A7RV . Underwater Shell

The NA-A7RV underwater housing provides fingertip access to all the main camera controls in a sturdy and reliable aluminum underwater housing. Access to handy camera controls is one of the defining strengths of the Nauticam case, and the NA-A7RV continues this tradition. Necessary camera parameter changes are made from the handgrip without awkward touch.

The NA-A7RV case inherits core design elements from the Nauticam pro DSLR series and encapsulates them in a more compact package. The patented port locking lever allows lens changes to be made in seconds. Opening the case for battery and media changes is quick and easy with the case locking pins. All aspects of the system are a seamless extension of the camera.

Mission Control

Never miss a single search for a button or dial. Regardless of where a control can be found on the camera, Nauticam engineers have placed that control on the housing where it is needed most. Essential dials and buttons are within easy reach of the reinforced ergonomic handle. On the top of the case, a dedicated lever allows for quick switching between Still Image, Movie, and S&Q (Video VFR) modes. A dual lever near the right handle activates the REC and AF-ON buttons, and a single lever near the left handle is for PLAYBACK.

Camera Compatibility

The NA-A7RV case is compatible with both the Sony a7R V and the Sony a7 IV. To use the Sony a7 IV, the 17433UK Adapter is required.

HDMI2.0

A large bore M24 baffle is located at the front of the case for use with HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 1.4 monitors and recorders (with step-down to M16 converter). An additional M10 threaded mounting position near the front center of the case also makes it easier to use the external display. The a7R V can output 16-bit RAW video to an external recorder at resolutions up to 4K 60p. See the resources sidebar for more details and recommended setup.

Premium professional optics

Built around the N100 Port System for Sony E-Mount, the NA-A7RV can support a wide range of native lenses with a wide selection of Optical and Acrylic ports. When used with an E-mount lens adapter to EF lenses and an N100 to N120 adapter (see the Resources sidebar for supported adapters), the NA-A7RV can be used with the system. Canon N120 EF-Mount port system, expanding the system’s capabilities even further. Going beyond conventional optics, the NA-A7RV can take advantage of the unparalleled optical quality of Nauticam’s Water Exposure optics, such as the WACP-1 or WWL-1B, which provide a field of view up to 130º, full zoom, near-zero minimum focal length For close-ups, the SMC-1 and SMC-2 deliver up to 4x sharp super macro magnification with the 90mm macro lens by Sony.

Vacuum test and leak detection

The housing comes with pre-installed electronics for Nauticam’s Vacuum Test and Leak Detection system, requiring only the optional M14 Vacuum Valve (25624). This monitoring system provides continuously updated information on the watertightness and diving safety of the shell. A simple color-coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is a solid or that the shell is losing its vacuum. Leak detection is integrated in the same circuit, so if there is water ingress, an audible and visual indication will appear. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms due to changes in the outside temperature or from the camera heating up during high-action diving.

strobe trigger

External strobe triggering is done via built-in fiber optic baffles when using the optional Mini Flash Trigger for Sony (26302). Electronic trigger is also available via the optional Nikonos or Ikelite Style Baffle.
