All-weather companion
Reliably capture scenes in extreme weather or harsh conditions with the Ricoh black Pentax WG-8 digital camera. With the deepest operating depth of any WG series camera to date, the WG-8 can be submerged to depths of up to 20 metres and is IPX6 dustproof. It can withstand extreme temperatures of up to -10°C, and its user-friendly design and many convenient features make for easy camera operation. It has a built-in ring light, 5x optical zoom, 4K resolution film clips and much more.
20MP BSI CMOS Sensor | 4K Video and Movie SR+
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.
5x Optical Zoom Lens and LED Ring Light
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.
Extreme Durability
- Waterproof and submersible to depths up to 20 meters
- Shockproof against drops from heights up to 2 meters
- Dustproof equivalence of IPX6
- Resistant to temperatures as low as -10°C
- Crushproof against weights up to 980.66500 newtons
Advanced GPS and Built-In Compass
The WG-8's GPS module automatically records position and travel log data onto captured images. Signals can be received from Glonass and U.S. GPS satellites. GPS data, directional data and UTC can be imprinted on the lower right corner of an image.
Webcam Support for Live Streaming
Use the WG-8 as a web camera by switching to UVC mode, connecting it to a computer via USB cable, and then streaming Full HD video at 30fps.
3" 1.04m-Dot LCD Monitor
A high-resolution 3" 1.04m-dot LCD monitor allows for wide-angle viewing. An antireflection coating on the monitor minimizes glare and allows easier viewing even in harsh sunlight. Additionally, the Outdoor View setting allows you to adjust the monitor's brightness for optimized visibility.
