PENTAX Compact Digital Camera Waterproof Digital Camera PENTAX WG-90 [Black]

[Product details]

Rugged design allows continuous shooting for 2 hours at a depth of 14m
It has waterproof performance (IPX8, equivalent to JIS protection class 8) that enables continuous underwater shooting at a depth of 14m for two hours.
Furthermore, it is drop-resistant from a height of 1.6m, dustproof to IP6X (JIS protection class 6), cold-resistant enough to operate even at -10°C, and load-bearing enough to withstand weights of up to 100kgf (kilograms force), making it a tough model that can withstand use in harsh outdoor environments.

◆High-quality images
The camera employs a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor that offers excellent high sensitivity, low noise characteristics, and high-speed readout of image signals, as well as a high-performance image processing engine, achieving high sensitivity performance with a maximum ISO sensitivity of ISO 6400 and high-resolution images with approximately 16 effective megapixels.
In addition, it is equipped with an image processing function that applies "super-resolution" technology, which allows you to obtain finer, more detailed images with superior resolution.
It also features a "handheld night scene" mode that takes multiple images at once and combines them to produce images with less blur even in dark places.

◆ 6 LED auxiliary lights for close-up photography
Six LED auxiliary lights for close-up shooting are placed around the lens.
This provides uniform, bright lighting when using "digital microscope" mode, which allows you to greatly magnify the subject and observe and photograph the microscopic world on the LCD monitor that is invisible to the naked eye.
The macro lighting function allows you to adjust the LED auxiliary light in five levels of brightness, allowing you to shoot with lighting that suits your subject and the photographic expression you are trying to achieve.
It also has a variety of practical functions, such as an "Instant Brightness Up" function that enables shooting at a faster shutter speed to reduce camera shake and subject blur, a "Selfie Assist" function that allows you to shoot while checking the position of a blinking LED to see if the face of a detected person is within the frame, and an "LED Light" mode that can be used as a handheld light in dark places.

◆ Easy-to-read LCD monitor with "outdoor monitor" function
It is equipped with a 2.7-inch, approximately 230,000-dot, 16:9 wide LCD monitor.
The AR (Anti-Reflection) coating reduces reflections of external light and glare, making the display bright and easy to see even outdoors in strong sunlight.
In addition, the "outdoor monitor" function allows the brightness to be easily adjusted to the most comfortable viewing condition depending on the usage environment, ensuring even more comfortable visibility.

◆Special mode for underwater photography
Based on image data taken underwater, the camera is equipped with "Mermaid" and "Mermaid Movie" modes that beautifully reproduce red colors that tend to be lost underwater, as well as effectively correct the loss of contrast caused by the diffusion of light underwater, enabling you to take clear images even underwater.
Furthermore, when in "Mermaid" mode, the flash shooting mode "flash off + forced flash" can be selected, making it possible to take two consecutive photos, one with the flash and one without, with a single shutter click.

◆5x optical zoom lens starting from a wide angle of 28mm
With a focal length of 5-25mm (equivalent to approximately 28-140mm in 35mm format), the 5x optical zoom covers a wide range of shooting scenes, from powerful close-up shots with a minimum distance of 1cm from the subject to vast landscapes.
It also has an "Intelligent Zoom" function that allows you to enlarge the image while maintaining the same image quality as an optical zoom, allowing you to enjoy ultra-high magnification shooting at up to approximately 36x (equivalent to 1008mm in 35mm format), as well as an "Interval Shooting" function that is convenient for fixed-point observation.

◆Three types of image stabilization functions to suit different shooting conditions
- Electronic image stabilization
The camera is equipped with an electronic image stabilization function that effectively corrects camera shake when shooting still images.
- High sensitivity shake reduction mode
This mode for still image shooting automatically adjusts sensitivity up to a maximum of ISO 6400 according to the brightness of the subject, enabling you to shoot at a fast shutter speed that is less susceptible to camera shake or subject blurring.
- "MovieSR" function
This electronic image stabilization function, designed specifically for video recording, uses software to effectively correct image misalignment caused by camera shake when recording video.

◆Full HD video recording function that enables high-quality, long-duration recording
The camera is equipped with a Full HD movie recording function that allows for longer recording times and higher image quality, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (16:9) pixels and 30 fps (frames per second) in the H.264 recording format.
In addition, it also supports "high-speed camera" shooting, which allows you to play videos in slow motion,* as well as "interval video" shooting, allowing you to easily enjoy a wide range of visual expression.
The camera body also has an HDMI micro terminal (Type D) for video and audio output.
*The recorded size is fixed at 1280 x 720 pixels.

◆ Includes a macro stand that allows long-term observation while maintaining the minimum shooting distance (1 cm) from the subject.
"Auto Picture" function that allows the camera to automatically select from 16 different shooting scenes
High-speed "face detection" function that can capture up to 32 people in as little as 0.03 seconds, and "Smile Capture" function that detects smiles and automatically takes pictures
"Style Watch" function, convenient for outdoor activities, displays the time on the LCD monitor when you press and hold the OK button while the power is off
When the power is off, pressing and holding the play button will directly launch the play mode.
Compatible with the waterproof remote control "O-RC1"*, which enables wireless shooting at the beach, ski resorts, or in the rain.
The Protector Jacket O-CC1252 is a dedicated accessory that protects the camera body from scratches and dirt.
When electronically delivering in "Construction CALS/EC (Public Works Support Integrated Information System),"
Recording size can be selected in "CALS mode" according to the "Standard for Recording Information Management" standard.
*Cannot be used underwater.
