Pentax WG-1000 All-Weather Digital Camera - Gray

An all-weather outdoor camera with superb waterproof performance

Despite its compact, lightweight body, the WG-1000 features outstanding waterproof and shock-resistant performance. It can be used in a wide range of scenes and activities for casual outdoor and underwater photography.

The WG-1000 is waterproof down to a depth of 15 meters, for up to one hour of continuous operation, dustproof against dirt and stains, and shockproof against a fall from a height of two meters. It comes with a carabiner strap and a protector jacket, which protects the camera body from scratches.

Solid all-weather body for protection against dust and water 
The WG-1000 features a dependable all-weather body, designed to be waterproof down to a depth of 49.2 feet (15 meters) for up to one hour of continuous operation; dustproof against dirt and stains; and shockproof* against a fall from a height of 6.5 feet (two meters). It can be used for a wide range of scenes and activities, even in harsh, demanding conditions. 

The WG-1000 can be sterilized with solutions containing ethanol, sodium hypochlorite (approved as a disinfectant of food additives) or chlorine dioxide, so it can be safely used at medical facilities and worksites. 
* Measured under RICOH IMAGING-original testing standards: a drop from a height of two meters onto a surface of 5-cm-thick plywood.

Sharp, clear images
With a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 16.35 effective gapixels, offering excellent high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics and high-speed image data readout, the WG-1000 delivers sharp, clear, high-resolution images, even at a super-high sensitivity of ISO 3200.

4X optical zoom lens with a 27mm wide-angle coverage
The WG-1000 features a four-times optical zoom lens with a focal-length coverage from 4.9 mm to 19.6mm (equivalent to approx. 27mm to 108mm in the 35mm format) to accommodate a wide range of applications. When coupled with the camera’s Digital Zoom function, its zoom range can be extended by approximately 24 times for high magnification zoom photography.
