Nauticam Now Shipping NA-R6 Housing for Canon EOS R6

Published 5 years agoon December 14, 2020

The Canon EOS R6 is attractive to underwater image makers for a variety of reasons. It is a 20MP full frame mirrorless camera that shoots up to 20fps, utilizes Canon’s new RF lens mount, and also has next generation Dual Pixel autofocus. The sensor is closely related the Canon’s flagship 1D X Mark III and offers in-body image stabilization rated at up to 8 stops of correction. It is also capable of recording 4K video at up to 60p and 1080 at up to 120p.

The NA-R6 underwater housing follows suit with Nauticam’s drive for innovation. Both the Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 present shooters with the ability to use both the available legacy EF lenses via an adapter in addition to their native RF optics. Two lens release buttons, one for RF and one for EF lenses used with the optional Canon adapter, are located on the front of the housing to make lens removal through the port opening simple.

Nauticam engineers are obsessed with getting the underwater image maker unfettered access to all the necessary controls, with as many within easy reach of the ergonomic rubberized handles. This Mission Control philosophy extends to the NA-R6 where a dual thumb lever and dual sub-lever are placed by the right handle. The upper thumb lever activates the “AF-On” and the lower the “Q” buttons while the sub-lever corresponds to the “M-Fn” and “Record” buttons. Near the left handle is a thumb lever for “Playback” as well as a dedicated switch to change from using LCD to the EVF.
