The WG-6 is an all-weather compact camera that is waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof and crushproof. It is waterproof down to 20m (65ft), shockproof at 2.1m (6ft), freezeproof to -10°C (14F) and crushproof up to 100 kgf (22lb). This makes the body of the WG-6 the toughest of the WG series. The WG-6 has approx. 20 effective megapixels and 5x optical zoom covering 28mm-140mm range. The combination of the high-performance lens & back-illuminated CMOS sensor produces a clear image with low-noise and wide dynamic range.
It also incorporates such outdoor-friendly features as a GPS module to record position data and travel log data onto captured images, and an electronic compass to enhance operability in the field. Positioned around the lens, a multi-application Ring Light unit featuring six bulbs provides bright, uniform illumination on the subject. Thanks to a choice of discharge patterns, these lights can also be used as a lighting device to illuminate the subject more three-dimensionally.
The WG-6 is the ideal camera for the person who is interested in outdoor activities in even the harshest conditions. This is also the perfect camera for people whose careers put them in challenging environments such as construction sites and civil engineering work.
