Tough design allowing 2 hours of continuous shooting at a depth of 20m The highly airtight body structure provides high waterproof performance (JIS protection class 8, equivalent to IPX8) that can withstand 2 hours of continuous underwater use at a depth of 20m, the highest in the WG series. It also features shock resistance from drops of up to 2.1m, dustproof performance (JIS Class 6 protection, IP6X compliant), cold resistance that allows operation down to -10°C, and a crushproof construction that can withstand weights of up to 100kgf (kilograms), making it a tough model that can withstand serious use in harsh outdoor environments. High-quality 4K video recording: The camera records 4K video at 3840 x 2160 pixels at 30 fps (frames per second) in the H.264 format, enabling high-quality, extended recording. The camera also features a dedicated Movie SR image stabilization mode for video recording, and Movie SR+ mode, which provides a gimbal-like shake reduction effect, enabling high-quality capture even during fast-moving outdoor activities. High-Quality Images: The camera employs a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with excellent sensitivity, low noise characteristics, and high-speed image signal readout, along with a high-performance image processing engine, achieving high sensitivity performance with a maximum ISO sensitivity of 6400 and high-resolution images with approximately 20 effective megapixels. Furthermore, it features an image processing function that applies super resolution technology to achieve clear, high-quality images with even greater resolution, as well as a handheld night scene mode that captures and combines multiple images at once to create a blur-free image. 5x optical zoom lens starting from a wide 28mm angle: The 5x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 5-25mm (equivalent to approximately 28-140mm in 35mm format) covers a wide range of shooting scenarios, from impressive close-ups as close as 1cm from the subject to vast landscapes. It also features an Intelligent Zoom function that further magnifies images while maintaining the same image quality as optical zoom, allowing for ultra-high magnification shooting up to approximately 40.5x, and an Interval Shooting function that is convenient for fixed-point observation.
Webcam function for high-quality, high-definition video streaming: Simply switch to UVC mode and connect the included USB cable to your computer to use it as a high-definition webcam at Full HD, 30 fps. Close-up shooting is possible, allowing you to get as close as approximately 1cm, and you can also combine it with the built-in ring light, enabling a variety of visual effects that are difficult to achieve with a standard computer camera, enhancing online communication for both business and personal use.
Six high-intensity, variable-intensity ring light for convenient close-up photography: Six LED auxiliary lights for close-up shooting are positioned around the lens. When taking close-up or close-up shots, faster shutter speeds allow for reduced camera shake and subject blur. Furthermore, by turning on only the LEDs in the top, bottom, left, and right directions, you can create a three-dimensional effect that emphasizes the subtle contours of the subject. Wide-viewing 3.0-inch LCD Monitor: This camera features a large, high-resolution 3.0-inch (3:2) LCD monitor with approximately 1.04 million dots. The cover is coated with AR (Anti-Reflection) coating, which reduces glare and glare from external light, ensuring bright, clear viewing even in bright sunlight. The Outdoor Monitor function allows you to easily adjust the brightness to suit your environment, ensuring comfortable outdoor visibility. Built-in High-Performance GPS and Electronic Compass: The camera's built-in GPS module records location information on captured images, records positioning log data while in motion, and automatically synchronizes the time. The GPS function can be activated with a single touch, and it can receive GLONASS signals in addition to US GPS. The GPS Lock function allows you to retain any GPS data, allowing you to attach pre-recorded location information even when shooting indoors. GPS information, electronic compass direction information, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) can be displayed in the bottom right corner of captured images. Other Remote control receivers are installed on the back as well as the front of the body, expanding the range of uses. Electronic level function that allows you to check the front, back, left and right tilt of the camera. 18 scene modes, such as Depth of Field Stacking, that allow you to shoot with settings suited to your subject. 12 Digital Filter functions. User Settings that allow you to record your desired shooting settings and easily set them using the mode dial. Compatible with the wide-angle conversion lens DW-5, which enables shooting at approximately 22mm equivalent (35mm format equivalent) at the wide-angle end. Three strap holes allow you to attach a strap depending on how you use it, such as vertical or two-point hanging.
