The WG-8 has a host of advanced features and user-friendlyfunctions, including a multi-application ring light, ideal for close-up macrophotography, and web camera capability when connected to a computer forlive-streaming of high-quality, high-resolution images. Its heavy-dutyconstruction ensures that the WG-8 performs superbly and dependably in harsh, demanding outdoor conditions and on worksites. It capturessuper-high-resolution still images of approximately 20 effective megapixels andhigh-quality 4K-resolution movie clips. The 5x optical zoom lens withfocal-length coverage from 5mm to 25mm (equivalent to approximately 28mm to140mm in the 35mm format), and minimum focusing distance of one centimeter, allows the user to capture a wide range of images, from eye-catching close-upsto sweeping landscapes. Rugged, Heavy-Duty ConstructionThe WG-8`s solid, airtight body is not only waterproof to a depth of 65.6 feet(20 meters) - the greatest operating depth in the history of the WG series -for up to two hours of continuous operation (equivalent to IPX8 or JIS Class8), but it`s also shockproof against a fall from heights of up to 6.8 feet (2.1meters), dustproof (equivalent to IPX6 or JIS Class 6), resistant totemperatures as low as minus 10 degrees C, and crushproof against weights of upto 100kgf (kilogram-force, equivalent to approximately 220.5 lbs of force).This heavy-duty construction ensures that the WG-8 performs superbly anddependably in harsh, demanding outdoor conditions and on worksites. High-Quality, High-Resolution ImagesCombining a state-of-the-art back-illuminated CMOS image sensor that providesexcellent high-sensitivity, low-noise characteristics, and high-speed readoutof image data signals, with a high-performance imaging engine, the WG-8delivers a top sensitivity of ISO 6400 and produces super-high-resolutionimages of approximately 20 effective megapixels. It also integrates advancedimage processing functions to ensure sharp, clear, high-resolution images.5x Optical Zoom Lens with a 28mm Wide-Angle CoverageThe WG-8`s 5x optical zoom lens provides angle-of-view coverage from 5mm to25mm (equivalent to approximately 28mm to 140mm in the 35mm format) and aminimum focusing distance of one centimeter, allowing the user to captureeye-catching close-ups to sweeping landscapes. Its Intelligent Zoom functionextends the zoom range by approximately 40.5 times without compromising imagequality, while the Interval Shooting mode comes in handy for fixed-pointphotography.4K-Resolution Movie RecordingThe WG-8 provides 4K-resolution movie recording in the H.264 format, allowingthe user to capture high-quality, extended movie clips (3840 x 2160 pixels, 30frames per second). In addition to the conventional Movie SR (Shake Reduction)mode, it also features the Movie SR Plus mode, which generates ashake-reduction effect similar to the one created by a gimbal unit to ensurehigh-quality movie shooting with more active, fast-action outdoor activities. | Pentax USA, Inc.
