The Pentax WG-90 is an all-weather adventure camera that offers impressive waterproof and shock-resistant capabilities, along with a variety of user-friendly shooting features, in a compact and lightweight design. The WG-90 boasts a 16MP BSI CMOS sensor for capturing high-quality, low noise images. With a max ISO sensitivity of 6400, this camera offers a variety of features to enhance low light photography, such as a built-in ring light, a flash, and an adjustable LCD display. Its reliability and functionality remain uncompromised, even in harsh environments. With a waterproof depth of 14 meters, a shockproof limit of 1.6 meters, and a frost-proof threshold of -10°C, the WG-90 is suitable for various settings and subjects, from casual photography to outdoor and underwater exploration, and even professional use.
Sharp, high-resolution images with 5X optical zoom The WG-90 delivers sharp, clear, high-resolution images with a high dynamic range and low noise, thanks to the combination of a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 16.0 effective megapixels and outstanding light reception efficiency, and a high-performance imaging engine. Within its compact, lightweight body, the WG-90 features a five-times optical zoom lens with a focal-length coverage from 5mm to 25mm (equivalent to approx. 28mm to 140mm in the 35mm format) to accommodate a wide range of scenes and subjects, from sweeping landscapes to long-distance telephoto shooting. When coupled with its Digital Zoom function, you can extend the zoom range by approximately 36 times* (equivalent to 1008mm in the 35mm format).
User-friendly tools for Macro Photography Macro photography lets you capture close-up images of small subjects, such as tiny petals and insects, in great detail. The WG-90’s 1cm Macro mode lets you capture the subject from as close as one centimeter away. It features six LED Macro Lights, which are ideally positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel.
Worksite-friendly, heavy-duty design Equipped with a rugged body assuring impeccable protection against water, dust, freeze and shock, the WG-90 is designed to perform dependably and superbly at construction worksites.
Outdoor-friendly LCD monitor The WG-90’s 2.7-inch LCD monitor, with 16:9 proportions and approximately 230,000 dots, is treated with the advanced AR (Anti-Reflection) coating to minimize annoying glare and reflections. Its Outdoor View Setting mode lets you optimize the monitor’s brightness level for ambient lighting conditions — whether it’s outdoor shooting under the harsh sunshine or nighttime photography — to improve the visibility of an on-screen image. The brightness level can be raised or lowered in two steps to each side.
A variety of shooting modes to accommodate all types of scenes and subjects The WG-90 allows you to choose the desired scene mode from 25 options, including: Auto Picture, which automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given scene or subject to preserve it in a beautiful image; Landscape, which vividly expresses green shades of trees and blue shades of the sky; and Underwater and Underwater Movie, which reproduce natural colors of the underwater world by optimizing white balance to reduce the bluish color cast.
