PENTAX WG-90 Blue Waterproof Camera, Shockproof, Dustproof, Freezeproof, Built-in 6-LED Ring Light for Macro Photography, Underwater Shooting Mode

Five times optical zoom

The WG-90 features a high-performance, five-times optical zoom lens with a focal-length coverage from 5mm to 25mm (equivalent to approx. 28mm to 140mm in the 35mm format) to accommodate a wide range of scenes and subjects, including sweeping landscapes.

Outdoor-friendly LCD monitor

Its Outdoor View Setting mode lets you optimize the monitor’s brightness level for ambient lighting conditions — whether it’s outdoor shooting under the harsh sunshine or nighttime photography — to improve the visibility of an on-screen image. The brightness level can be raised or lowered in two steps to each side.

A choice of 25 scene modes

The WG-90 allows you to choose the desired scene mode from 25 options, including: Auto Picture, which automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given scene or subject to preserve it in a beautiful image; Landscape, which vividly expresses green shades of trees and blue shades of the sky; and Underwater and Underwater Movie, which reproduces natural colors of the underwater world by optimizing white balance to reduce the bluish color cast.

Flash off/Flash on option for two-image consecutive shooting

In the Underwater mode, this creative option comes in handy when shooting underwater creatures. With a single shutter release, the WG-90 automatically captures two images — one without flash and another with flash — to minimize the time and trouble for camera control and lets you concentrate on the image composition.

Choose from a selection of Image Tone modes, identical with those featured in PENTAX Digital SLR models

The WG-90 provides six distinctive Image Tone modes to add the desired finishing touch to captured images, depending on the subject or your creative intensions. They include: Cross Process, which emulates a unique color scheme associated with a cross-processing film development technique; Vibrant, which applies bright, rich, vivid colors; and Slide Film, which creates dynamic, high-contrast images resembling those produced by reversal film.

User-friendly tools for macro photography

Macro photography lets you capture close-up images of small subjects, such as tiny petals and insects, in great detail. The WG-90’s 1cm Macro mode lets you capture the subject from as close as one centimeter away. It features six LED Macro Lights, which are ideally positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel. In the Macro Lighting mode, these lights allow you to adjust the illumination intensity to five different levels to assure the ideal lighting condition, while also preventing unwanted shade areas.

Recommended for educational institutions

When the macro stand is mounted on the camera and placed on a flat surface, it prevents camera shake and stabilizes the camera at the minimum focusing distance during extended observation and shooting of macro images.

Creative flexible processing of captured images

The WG-90’s Ink Rubbing filter allows you apply this filter to a captured image and effortlessly create a unique image resembling an ink stamp. The filtering effect can be adjusted at five levels, so you can even create a high-contrast, monochromatic image.

The WG-90 also provides other creative functions to process captured images in a unique, creative way. They include a selection of digital filters and original picture frames, which are designed to shift tones, add special visual effects, dramatize images, or create various types of ambience.

Worksite-friendly, heavy-duty design

Equipped with a rugged body assuring impeccable protection against water, dust, freeze and shock, the WG-90 is designed to perform dependably and superbly at construction worksites.

Brightness-adjustable micro light mode

The WG-90’s Macro Light mode lets you turn on six LED Macro Lights positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel, and use them as a lighting device in the dark, at five brightness levels. Since this mode can be used during macro photography, it comes in handy when you want to illuminate a small space while minutely adjusting the brightness level.

Other creative tools

The WG-90 features other user-friendly, creative tools designed to facilitate camera operation or provide creative functions, including: Smile Capture, which automatically releases the shutter when the camera detects a smiling face; Self-Portrait Assist, which blinks an LED lamp when the camera detects the face of a portrait subject; self-timer; and compatibility with the optional O-RC1 Waterproof Remote Control.
