Part #: Nau-17804

For Olympus OM-D E-M5 camera

This is one of the best Nauticam housings.

Quick Nauticam OM-D E-5 Highlights:

Very cool port lock. You don't have to twist the port to remove it
Leak detector included. Thank you Nauticam!
Smaller, more solid than the Olympus housing
All camera controls useable. Both control dials are easily reached by thumb or forefinger with no need to release grip on the housing while adjusting aperture and shutter speed. The two function buttons are just as easy to reach and can be programmed for a multitude of functions
All buttons labeled
Lens release button in front
Dual Sea & Sea / Inon fiber optic ports
Optional single sync cord bulkhead for firing strobes via electronic sync cord is available. This is nice because you can shoot much faster via strobes with an electronic sync cord
Mounting Option for installing 45 or 180 degree viewfinders if you want to use the OM-D electronic viewfinder
100m (330ft) depth rating, solid metal with ionic bond
Complete alan wrench set included
Size - 185mm x 152mm x 105mm
Weight: 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs.)

Nauticam OM-D E-M5 Underwater Lens Recommendations

For ultra wide-angle, close-focus wide-angle, mantas, whale sharks, coral reefs - the Panasonic 8mm fisheye
For wide-angle, sharks, sea lions - the Panasonic 7-14mm or Olympus 9-19mm
For mid-range, the Olympus 14-42mm or Olympus 12-50mm. The 12-50mm is a little more versatile than the 14-42mm.
For macro, the Panasonic 45mm macro, or the Olympus 60mm macro. We greatly prefer the Olympus 60mm macro lens as an option
Call or email us for detailed lens recommendations - we use all these lenses underwater!
You should also check out Sony A6400 Housings or the Fantasea A6500 housing
You can easily mount a GoPro 7 on top of the housing

The NA-EM5 housing from Nauticam delivers the advanced functionality of the OM-D E-M5 in style and with the ergonomics that people have come to expect from Nauticam.

This is a very compact and lightweight housing, with all of the Olympus E-PL3 controls available from the ergonomic grip sculpted into the side of the housing. A choice of hand strap and left/right handle means the shooter can customize the housing to meet their specific needs.

The patented locking port release system used in other Nauticam mid-range housings has been incorporated in NA-EM5, allowing easy and secure port changes. Ports are available for the major lenses that are useful underwater, including the Olympus 14-42mm kit lens and the Olympus 9-18mm wide-angle zoom lens, the Pany 7-14mm wide-angle and the 8mm Panasonic fisheye lens.

If your family likes the ocean, science and chemistry, when they are not diving they can read articles like lead iodide, how to extract potassium from a banana, golden rain experiment, naming ionic compounds, and is gallium a metal.

Olympus OM-D E-M5 macro lens choices

The Panasonic Leica 45mm macro lens is a great, very sharp high end lens
