All-Weather Travel Companion
Reliably capture scenes in extreme weather or rugged conditions with the green PENTAX WG-8 Digital Camera from Ricoh. Sporting the greatest operating depth of any WG series camera thus far, the WG-8 is submersible to depths up to 65.6' and IPX6 dustproof. It can withstand extreme temperatures as low as 14°F, and its user-friendly design and numerous convenient features allow easy camera operation. It has a built-in ring light, 5x optical zoom, 4K-resolution movie clips, and much more.
The WG-8 provides sharp 20MP images with low-noise up to a sensitivity of ISO 6400 by utilizing a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor. 4K-resolution movie recording in H.264 format is available, allowing you to capture high-quality extended movie clips at 30fps. In addition to Movie Shake Reduction mode, Movie SR+ mode generates shake-reduction comparable to using a gimbal.
The 5x optical zoom lens provides an angle of view of 5mm to 25mm, which is equivalent to a full-frame view of approximately 28mm to 140mm. A minimum focusing distance of 1cm allows for ultra-close macro photography.
Surrounding the lens barrel is a six-LED ring light, so you can capture clearer, sharper images in low-light conditions. The strength of the light emitted can be adjusted.
