Ricoh WG-80 Digital Camera - Orange
This camera is designed for every imaginable outdoor environment, including underwater photography at depths of 46' for as long as two hours. Great for construction worksites, it has a rugged and durable body that is impact, freeze, and shockproof. In addition to its rugged design, the WG-80 has a CMOS back-illuminated image sensor with high optical efficiency and approximately 16 effective megapixels. It also features a high-performance imaging engine, a 5x optical zoom lens, and a large, wide-frame LCD monitor. This camera offers enhanced underwater modes for still photography and video and its built-in ring light has adjustable illumination levels. Turn on the six LED macro lights around the lens barrel to create a three-dimensional effect or expand your range of shooting expressions. Ideally positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel for macro shooting, six LED macro lights allow the WG-80 to provide bright, uniform illumination on a subject when the Digital Microscope mode is selected
The WG-80 is equipped with a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, which assures high-sensitivity, low-noise characteristics, and high-speed readout of image data signals. Coupled with a high-performance imaging engine, this image sensor delivers a top sensitivity of ISO 6400 and super-high-resolution images with approximately 16 effective megapixels. It has advanced image-processing functions, made possible by the latest super-resolution technology, to assure sharp, clear, high-resolution images. It even offers such innovative features as Handheld Night Snap mode, which automatically captures several images of the same nighttime scene to produce a single, blur-free, composite image from them. The solid, airtight body of the WG-80 is not only waterproof down to a depth of 46 feet for up to two hours of continuous operation (equivalent to IPX 8 or JIS Class 8), but is also shockproof against falls from a height of 5 feet, dustproof (equivalent to IPX 6 or JIS Class 6), freeze-proof to temperatures as low as -10°C / 14°F, and crushproof against weights up to 100kgf (kilogram-force)
Users can capture high-quality, extended movie clips (1920 x 1080 pixels, 16:9 proportions) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second
When the camera detects low-lighting conditions in still-image shooting, its Digital SR Mode automatically raises the sensitivity up to as high as ISO 6400, making it possible to use a higher shutter speed and effectively minimize the adverse effect of camera shake and subject shake when dealing with poor lighting conditions
Specifically designed for underwater photography, the Underwater and Underwater Movie shooting modes are programmed to optimize color and contrast, based on the data of images captured under the water
