After the recent release of the Panasonic Lumix L10 premium, fixed-lens compact, Nauticam has announced its NA-L10 housing as well as their NA-L10 Pro Package. The former ships with handle brackets and shutter release, while the latter includes handles, tray, and vacuum valve.
As you’d expect, Nauticam’s aluminum housing provides full access to the L10’s key features and functions, with camera controls mapped to ergonomically positioned levers, dials and buttons. The housing uses the N50 port system—as used on housings for compacts such as the Canon PowerShot V1—which allows users to mount Nauticam water-contact optics like the WWL-1B, WWL-C, MFO-1, and CMC-2.
To make use of the vacuum check and leak detection electronics that ship with the housing, you just need to add a vacuum valve or purchase the pro package, which includes the vacuum valve pre-installed. The housing features fiber-optic bulkheads for hooking up your strobes—just add the optional mini flash trigger (26309).
Shipping soon, the Nauticam NA-L10 housing is priced at $2,200, while the NA-L10 Pro Package costs an extra $400.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
INTRODUCING NA-L10 FOR PANASONIC LUMIX L10 CAMERA
Panasonic Lumix L10 Camera
The Panasonic LUMIX L10 is a premium compact camera that offers advanced versatility and impressive quality. It features a 20.4MP Multi-Aspect BSI CMOS sensor and a Leica-designed 24-75mm-equivalent zoom lens. The large sensor and flexible zoom make it a compelling choice for underwater photography. Despite its compact design, the camera boasts both a viewfinder and a rear monitor, along with numerous direct controls. This design choice gives it a more DSLR or mirrorless feel compared to a typical compact camera. Capable of recording stunning photos with film-inspired Photo Styles and videos up to 5.6K with accurate focus, reliable optical image stabilization, and packed in a handsome retro body design. The Four Thirds-format BSI CMOS sensor offers impressive noise performance and is proven for high-quality video work, offering 5.6K 30p and DCI 4K 120p recording in 4:2:0 10-bit or DCI 4K 60p recording in 4:2:2 10-bit. The Multi-Aspect sensor enables open gate recording for various aspect ratios, and V-Log provides color grading control in post-production. Advanced AI-based subject detection recognizes and locks onto eyes, faces, pets, vehicles, and other moving subjects for quick, precise, and smooth focus.

NA-L10 Housing
The NA-L10 underwater housing provides fingertip access to all key camera controls in a rugged and reliable aluminum underwater housing. Ergonomic camera control access is one of the defining strengths of a Nauticam housing, and the NA-L10 continues this tradition. Essential camera parameter changes can be made from the optional handles, without awkward reaches.
The NA-L10 housing inherits the core Nauticam design elements and bundles them in a more compact package. Opening the housing for quick battery and media changes is fast and easy with the rotary housing lock. The N50 port system accepts many of Nauticam’s premium water contact optics. Further enhancing the capabilities of the LX10. The NA-LX10 housing ships with handle brackets and a shutter release, or a pro package is available that includes handles, a tray, and a vacuum valve.
PREMIUM PROFESSIONAL OPTICS
Nauticam’s professional water-contact optics deliver the highest underwater image quality. The WWL-1B and WWL-C offer wide-angle coverage up to 130°, while the MFO-1, CMC-1 and CMC-2 offer exceptional macro capabilities.
Mission Control
In true Nauticam fashion, essential controls are placed as close to the optional handles as possible, making these housings the most intuitive and user-friendly available. Our engineers strategically position controls where they’re needed most, rather than simply near the corresponding buttons on the camera. Dials feature rubberized finger grooves, and levers are designed for smooth operation.
Integrated Vacuum Check & Leak Detection Electronics
The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-L10 as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (PN 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. The (PN 25625) vacuum valve is included and pre installed with the NA-L10 pro package.
Flash Triggering
Optical flash triggering is available on the Nauticam NA-L10 with the Panasonic Lumix L10.
