Pentax WG-8 Waterproof Compact Camera

Capture every adventure with the Pentax WG-8 Waterproof Compact Camera. Designed for extreme conditions, this rugged camera offers a host of features that make it a reliable companion for outdoor enthusiasts and travellers. With a 20MP BSI CMOS sensor, 5x optical zoom, and built-in six-LED ring light, the WG-8 ensures you get high-quality images and videos no matter where you are.

Extreme Durability

The WG-8 is built to withstand the harshest environments. It is waterproof and submersible to depths of up to 65.6 feet, making it perfect for underwater photography. Its shockproof design can withstand drops from up to 2.1 metres, and it is crushproof against weights up to 100kgf. The camera is also dustproof (IPX6) and freezeproof, withstanding temperatures as low as -10°C. These features make the WG-8 a reliable choice for capturing moments in any weather or terrain.

20MP BSI CMOS Sensor and 4K Video

Equipped with a 20MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor, the WG-8 captures sharp, low-noise images up to ISO 6400. The camera also supports 4K video recording in H.264 format, allowing you to capture high-quality movie clips at 30fps. The built-in Movie Shake Reduction (SR) and Movie SR+ modes help to stabilise your footage, providing gimbal-like smoothness even when shooting handheld.

5x Optical Zoom Lens and LED Ring Light

The 5x optical zoom lens offers a focal length range of 28-140mm (full-frame equivalent), providing versatility from wide-angle to telephoto shots. The minimum focusing distance of 1cm is ideal for macro photography. Surrounding the lens barrel is a six-LED ring light that enhances image clarity in low-light conditions. The strength of the light can be adjusted to suit your needs.

Advanced GPS and Built-In Compass

The WG-8 includes an advanced GPS module that automatically records position and travel log data onto your images. It receives signals from GLONASS and U.S. GPS satellites, and you can imprint GPS data, directional data, and UTC on your photos. This feature is perfect for documenting your travels with precise location information.

Webcam Function for Live Streaming

Transform your WG-8 into a webcam by switching to UVC mode and connecting it to your computer via USB cable. Stream Full HD video at 30fps, making it an excellent tool for live streaming or video conferencing.

3″ 1.04m-Dot LCD Monitor

The high-resolution 3″ 1.04m-dot LCD monitor offers wide-angle viewing and features an antireflection coating to minimise glare. The Outdoor View setting allows you to adjust the monitor’s brightness, ensuring optimal visibility even in bright sunlight.
