Uncompromising water, shock, dust, and freeze protection.
With features that include uncompromising water proofing - good for two hours of continuos use at a depth of 14 m - freeze proofing* that ensures operation at temperatures of -10 celcius, and crush proofing capable of withstanding forces of 100kgf, this rugged camera can be used in all conditions.
This mode uses white balance optimized for underwater photos, making colors appear more natural by adding reds that tend to get lost in photos taken under water.
The brightness of the LCD monitor can readily be adapted to changes in ambient lighting conditions for ease of viewing and an improved shooting experience. Brightness can be increased by up to two steps to make dark areas of the display easier to see in sunlight, or lowered by up to two steps to reduce glare for night photography.
With a high-performance image processing engine and a back-illuminated CMOS sensor boasting hugh optical efficiency and an effective pixel count of 16 million, the WG-50 takes low-noise photos with a wide dynamic range that look beautiful even as prints.
*35 mm format equivalent.
Tweaking the look of your images to suit the subject is as simple as selecting a shooting mode. Options include "vibrant", which combines balance and depth with a bright, vibrant tone, and "Slide Film", which offers the contrast and high dynamic range characteristic of slide film.
