Main features of PENTAX WG-8
Webcam function for live-streaming of high-quality, high-resolution images
Simply by switching the WG-8 to the UVC (USB Video Class) mode and connecting it to a computer with the included USB cable, it can be used as a web camera for real-time streaming of Full HD-resolution video images at 30 frames per second.
Outdoor-friendly design, providing easy operation even with a gloved hands
The WG-8 is designed for swift, flawless operation even in harsh shooting conditions. Encased in a solid body made from a high-rigidity aluminum panel, it allows you to shift the shooting mode with a simple turn of the mode dial, while the vertical zoom button makes zooming operation easier. The control buttons positioned on its back panel are widely spaced, making it easy to operate them even with a gloved hand.
3.0-inch, wide-frame LCD monitor for wide-angle viewing
The WG-8 has a large, high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD monitor (3:2 proportions and approximately 1,040,000 dots). The AR (Anti-Reflection) coating applied to the monitor’s protective cover, minimizes annoying glare and reflections to assure a sharp, clear on-screen image even in the harsh sunshine often encountered in outdoor shooting.
Advanced GPS functions and built-in digital compass
The WG-8’s built-in GPS module automatically records position data and travel log data onto captured images, and adjusts the built-in clock to local time. This module can be activated with a single action, and can receive signals from GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System), as well as U.S. GPS satellites.
Main features of PENTAX WG-8
A wide range of shooting modes to capture a variety of scenes and subjects
The WG-8 lets you choose the desired shooting mode from 24 options, including: Auto Picture, which automatically detects the type of a scene and selects the most appropriate shooting mode; Underwater and underwater movie, which reproduce the natural colors of underwater world by optimizing white balance to reduce the bluish color cast; and Depth of field Composite, which retains sharp focus from the foreground to the background
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-8 captures two images - one without flash and another with flash - to minimize the time and trouble for camera operation and let you concentrate on the image composition.
A selection of image tone modes, identical with those featured in PENTAX digital SLR models
The WG-8 provides five distinctive and creative Image Tone modes to add the desired finishing touch to captured images, depending on the subject or your creative intensions. They include: Vibrant, which applies bright, rich colors; and Slide Film, which creates dynamic, high-contrast images resembling those produced by reversal film.
Two macro modes ( Above image is for 1 cm macro )
The WG-8 provides a choice of two macro modes : The standard Macro mode lets you capture a close-up image of the small subject from 10 centimeters away, while the 1cm Macro mode lets you close in on the subject to just one centimeter. It also features an Auto Macro mode, which automatically shifts the minimum forcusing distance to 10cm without the need for switching to the Macro mode from normal shooting.
Main features of PENTAX WG-8
High-power, discharge-adjustable, six-bulb Ring Light unit
Positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel, the WG-8’s six-LED Ring Light unit allows the user to set a faster shutter speed and minimize camera shake and subject shake in macro and close-up photography. The discharge level can be adjusted to a desired level. This unit also provides selective lighting, in which the user can activate only the horizontally or vertically aligned lights to illuminate the subject more three-dimensionally and emphasize its contours.
Digital Microscope for effortless capture of the microscopic world
The WG-8's Digital Microscope mode comes in handy when you want to swiftly switch from normal shooting to macro photography to capture the amazing microscopic world, which is often difficult to observe with naked eye. The six-LED Ring Light unit allows you to select a faster shutter speed to minimize camera shake.
Copyright Data Imprint setting
Using the WG-8's watermark (credit notice) function, you can imprint a total of up to 32 letters, numbers and /or symbols on a captured image. It even lets you select the position, size and color (from seven options) of imprinted data.
Worksite- friendly, heavy-duty design
Equipped with a durable, rugged body assuring impeccable protection against water, dust, shock and freeze, the WG-8 is designed to assure a firm bold even with a gloved hand, and provide effortless shifting of various modes with a simple turn of the dials. The lighting- adjustable Ring Light unit comes in handy at poorly illuminated worksites, while the macro modes are useful in recording close-up images of cracks on concrete walls or iron reinforcement bar marks.
