Description

• Uncompromising water, shock, dust, and freeze protection

  With features that include uncompromising waterproofing - good for two hours of continuous use at a depth of 14 meters - freeze proofing that ensures operation at temperatures of -10°C, shock proofing capable of withstanding drops of 1.6 meters, and crush proofing capable of withstanding forces of 100kg, this rugged camera can be used in all conditions.

• A rugged chassis ready for the outdoors

  The WG-80 is designed for every imaginable outdoor environment and adds to the experience with features such as Underwater mode for underwater photography, and an Outdoor View setting that adapts monitor brightness to ambient lighting.

• Sharp, high-resolution images with 5X optical zoom starting from wide-angle of 28mm

  Enjoy the high-definition image quality offered by a camera with an approximately 16 effective megapixels, a lens with 5 optical zoom starting from a wide-angle of 28mm, and image processing incorporating ultra-high resolution technology.

• Macro lighting via the Ring Light with a brightness that can be adjusted in five levels

  With WG-80, you can now change the brightness of the Ring Light during macro shooting. This allows you to create a three-dimensional effect and to emphasize the contrast with the background, expanding the range of shooting expressions.

• Worksite-ready

  Equipped with a chassis featuring the uncompromising water-, dust-, cold-, and shock-resistance so essential for construction worksites, the WG-80 also boasts six LED lamps arranged around the lens to provide lighting for macro photography.

• The all-weather adventure camera

  A rugged chassis you can rely on in harsh conditions. Exceptional 14-meter waterproof and 1.6-meter shockproof. With features that include uncompromising waterproofing - good for two hours of continuous use at a depth of 14 meters - freeze proofing that ensures operation at temperatures of -10°C, shock proofing capable of withstanding drops of 1.6 meters, and crush proofing capable of withstanding forces of 100kg, this rugged camera can be used in all conditions. Battery capacity drops with ambient temperature, reducing the number of pictures that can be taken on a single charge.

• Sharp, high resolution

  With a high-performance image processing engine and a back-illuminated CMOS sensor boasting high optical efficiency and an 16 effective megapixels, the WG-80 takes low-noise photos with a wide dynamic range that look beautiful even as prints.

• Expand your creative horizons with Image Tone

  Customize pictures to your subject or your taste with six image tone options, including the Cross Process feature for photos with the unique coloring associated with cross-processing film development techniques, Vibrant for rich, bright, vivid colors, and Slide Film for dynamic, high-contrast images like those produced by reversal film.

• Shoot movies in Full HD HDMI

  While the camera can of course record Full HD (16:9) video at 30fps, it also offers a High-Speed Movie mode for recording slow-motion video and an Underwater Movie mode suited to underwater movie recording. Movie and Underwater Movie modes offer Movie SR (shake reduction), which can be used to reduce the effects of camera shake. Movie editing features within the camera let you split video or create movie stills from selected frames. The camera's HDMI connector (Type D) lets you display movies on TVs and other devices.

• Outdoor view setting

  The brightness of the LCD monitor can readily be adapted to changes in ambient lighting conditions for ease of viewing and an improved shooting experience. Brightness can be increased by up to two steps to make dark areas of the display easier to see in sunlight, or lowered by up to two steps to reduce glare for night photography.

• Choose from 25 shooting modes

  The camera offers settings suited to every subject, including an Auto Picture mode that automatically identifies the subject type and chooses the appropriate mode, a Landscape mode for vivid shots of green trees or blue sky, a Surf and Snow mode suited to shots backed by brightly-lit beaches or mountain snows, and a Sports mode for shots of fast-moving subjects.

• Underwater mode

  Developed specifically for underwater photography, the WG-80's Underwater mode reduces the blue color cast so often seen in pictures taken underwater and effectively adjusts contrast to compensate for diffuse underwater light.
