Nauticam announce NA-OM1 for the OM System OM-1
Reviving the ‘OM’ moniker on it’s 50th anniversary, OM System is releasing the OM-1 Micro Four Thirds camera aimed at the “on-the-go pro”. The OM-1 features a new stacked-CMOS 20MP sensor that offers faster readout speeds and improved autofocus capabilities over previous BSI sensors. Billed as a true hybrid-shooter the OM-1 can capture up to 10-bit DCI or UHD aspect ratio 4K video at up to 60p and HD at 240fps. Over HDMI, the OM-1’s RAW output will be able to be recorded as ProRes RAW on the Ninja V and Ninja V+ recorders from Atomos (firmware update coming in 2022).
The Nauticam NA-OM1, similar to the OM-1 is a refinement of it’s predecessors. Nauticam has produced housings for a wide range of Micro Four Thirds offerings from both Olympus and Panasonic. Throughout the evolution of Micro Four Thirds cameras, Nauticam has adapted our design to help image makers take full advantage of every camera advancement. More than a simple waterproof case, the NA-OM1 integrates with the OM-1 to adapt and improve upon the camera’s features for underwater shooting.
Regardless of where a dial or button may be found on the camera body, Nauticam engineers make sure it is located where it is needed most on the housing. This Mission Control philosophy drives the design of every housing and provides for the most intuitive and easy to use housings available. The NA-OM1 features a thumb lever, easily accessed from the ergonomic rubberized right handle that actuates the AF-ON control with a dedicated red record button close by.
The NA-OM1 features the M24 bulkhead to support both optional HDMI 2.0 and 1.4 with supported Nauticam monitor and recorder housings. An M10 threaded mount located to the right of the cold shoe is ideal for mounting a monitor or other accessory.
A camera system is only as good as the optics placed in front of it. Nauticam’s extensive line of dome and flat ports support a wide variety of Micro Four Thirds lenses. For even higher image quality and versatility, the NA-OM1 can be used in conjunction with Nauticam’s lineup of Water Contact Optics. For example, with the Olympus 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Lens, the Nauticam WWL-1 provides a full zoom through ultra wide-angle 130º field of view.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
