Ultra-High Technology: Take your Nikon N8008/N8008s underwater in a lightweight and compact housing, featuring exposure mode control, exposure compensation, and control of the command input dial. The Aquatica 80 makes underwater photography easy through the use of the optical viewfinder magnifier. The Aquatica 80 allows the photographer to switch between three exposure meters, including Nikon's renowned Matrix Meter, and five exposure modes while underwater. Auto exposure modes include Program, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority.

Focusing options include Single Servo AF which will not fire the shutter before confirming focus, and Continuous Servo AF which is useful when tracking moving subjects.

A viewing window is built in for referencing the settings on the optional Nikon MF-21 Multi-Control Back for the N8008.

The compact size of the Aquatica 80 makes shooting marine life in tight spots easy. The 60mm Micro Nikkor behind a flat port is a workhorse lens for fish photos, and the Aquatica 80 responds quickly to changing underwater conditions with access to major camera functions such as TTL auto flash exposure.
