Pentax WG-90 Digital Camera - Black Impact / Freeze / Waterproof

A heavy-duty body for solid protection against water dust shock and freeze

The Pentax WG 90 has a 5x optical zoom equivalent to 28mm to 140mm in 35mm format. Thanks to the dynamic zoom range it is easy to use the camera for everything from landscape and underwater photography to travel photography and portraits.

The camera has a rugged exterior that makes it easy to hold even when you are wearing gloves in cold weather or under water. The airtight body is not only waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters for up to two hours of continuous operation (IPX 8 class) shockproof against a fall from a height of 1.6 meters and crushproof against weights up to 100kgf. Inside the camera we find a back-illuminated 16.0 megapixels CMOS image sensor which produces images with high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics. An effective image stabilisation allows you to easily photograph or video in low light conditions or underwater.

The PENTAX WG-90 is designed for serious outdoor photography featuring dependable protective features: waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters for up to two hours of continuous operation; dustproof against dirt and stains; shockproof against a fall from a height of 1.6 meters; crushproof against weights up to 100kgf (kilogram force) and freeze-proof against temperatures as low as -10°C.* Thanks to this heavy-duty construction the WG-90 performs superbly and dependably even in harsh demanding outdoor conditions.

Outdoor-friendly LCD monitor

The WG-90's 2.7-inch LCD monitor with 16:9 proportions and approximately 230000 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.

A variety of shooting modes to accommodate all types of scenes and subjects

A choice of 25 scene modes

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.

List of scene modes

Auto Picture / Program / HDR / Handheld Night Snap / Movie / High Speed Movie / Digital Microscope / Landscape / Flower / Portrait / Underwater/ Underwater Movie / Interval Shot / Interval Movie / Surf & Snow / Kids / Pet / Sport / Night Scene / Night Scene Portrait / Fireworks / Food / Digital SR / Report

Note: In addition to the scene modes above the Green mode is also provided for an instant recall of default settings with a push of the Green button.

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-90 automatically captures two images - one without flash and another with flash - to minimize the time and trouble for camera control and let you concentrate on the image composition.
