With rugged waterproof, shockproof, crushproof, coldproof and dustproof construction, the Optio WG-2 is the perfect companion for capturing images or Full HD video in almost any environment. Equipped with a 16 MP backlit CMOS image sensor, state-of-the-art imaging engine, wide angle internal optical zoom lens, large high-resolution LCD monitor and inventive Digital Microscope mode with LED lens lighting.
- The 16.0 effective megapixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensor delivers super-high-resolution images. The new imaging engine applies the latest super-resolution technology to its image processing operations to assure sharp, clear, high-resolution images.
- The Optio WG-2 is the perfect choice for active photographers who shoot pictures in demanding conditions. It can be used underwater continuously for up to 2 hours at a depth of up to 12m. Its crushproof construction can withstand weights up to 100 KGF (kilogram-force) and shockproof design protects it against drops of 1.5m. It also offers remarkable dustproof performance to protect the camera from dry, dusty environments and exceptional cold-resistant performance for reliable operation at temperatures as low as –10°C
- Capture beautiful, flawless movie clips in Full HD 1080p video at 30 FPS with high quality h.264 compression. Includes a high-speed camera function* for slow-motion playback of captured movie clips and an interval movie function to simplify advanced movie-recording techniques. The Optio WG-2 also has a micro-HDMI micro terminal for output of Full HD movie clips and sound to external devices.
* When this function is selected, the recorded size is fixed at VGA (640 x 480 pixels).
- 5X wide angle internal optical zoom lens, covering an angle of view equivalent to approximately 28 to 140 mm in 35 mm format is ideal for shooting a broad spectrum of subjects, from landscapes to indoor, portrait or group photos.
- Combining a macro shooting capability from as close as 1cm away with its 6 LED Macro Lighting and unique Macro Stand, the Digital Microscope mode delivers magnified sharp pictures of even the smallest subjects, like insects, or the veins of a leaf.
- The Large 3-inch LCD features HVGA resolution (460,000 dots) and a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. A special AR (Anti-Reflection) coating cuts the glare of external light and minimizes reflections, making it easy to observe the subject, monitor recorded images and view on-screen menus, even in bright sunlight.
- Triple anti-shake protection to prevent different types of camera shake: Pixel Track SR mode effectively compensates for camera shake during still-image shooting digitally without increasing image noise, Digital SR mode automatically raises the sensitivity up to ISO 6400 under poor-lighting conditions and the Movie SR mode prevents blurry images by effectively minimizing camera shake through the use of exclusive software.
- The Face Detection function detects up to 32 faces- even the faces of dogs and cats- in the image field, then catches them in sharp focus and in optimum exposure in as little as 0.03 seconds. The Self-portrait Assist function uses the blink of the LED lights to confirm whether the subject’s face is safely captured within the picture frame.
- Auto Picture mode automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode from 16 different scene modes.
- Digital Wide mode composes an extra-wide-angle picture (equivalent to approx. 21mm wide angle in the 35mm format) from two separate images.
- Capture images remotely with infrared remote control capabilities (using optional PENTAX remote controller).
- Includes a woven web fabric strap complete with a carabiner to attach the camera to a backpack and other outdoor gear.
- MediaImpression 3.5 for PENTAX (Windows version) and MediaImpression 2.1 for PENTAX (Macintosh version) image viewing, editing and filing software included
(compatible with latest operation systems, Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.7)
