C4K can be shot at up to 160 frames per second in a variety of ProRes flavours, as well as Z Cam's RAW codec ZRAW partial-debayer. An MFT lens mount means the E2 can be used with a wide range of open-source lenses from Panasonic, Olympus and Sigma.

The Nauticam NA-E2 Underwater Geäuse
The NA-E2 sets the standard as the lightest and smallest RAW-ready cinema underwater gear ever produced. Nauticam is a leading supplier of Cinema underwater housings with offerings for RED, ARRI, Canon, PhantomFlex, Blackmagic, Sony and now Z Cam.
The NA-E2 uses the N85 port system, which is shared with Nauticam's other MFT platform cameras, allowing easy transition to the NA-E2 from other MFT Nauticam systems. The N85 system also provides access to Nauticam's premium professional optics such as WWL-1 and CMC-1/2.
A dedicated mounting lever is located on the right side of the walker within easy reach of the adjustable ergonomic grips. 1/4"-20 mounting threads are located on the top and bottom of the walker, allowing easy mounting of cinematic accessories.
The E2 supports the CMC-1/2.
The E2 supports Sony NP-F series batteries and the NA-E2 matches this compatibility up to and including the FP-970.
As with the NA-BMPCC2, the NA-E2 allows a Samsung T-5 SSD drive to be mounted internally as a recording medium, making the transition from recording to editing seamless.
The Z Cam E2 requires an external monitor and Nauticam offers several options for SmallHD and Atomos monitors. The NA-E2 has both one M28 and two M16 ports, supporting both HDMI 2.0 (M28) and HDMI 1.4 (M16) connections.
