Ricoh WG-70 Black Waterproof Digital Camera 16MP (Black)

The Ricoh WG-70 All-Weather Adventure Camera is designed for every imaginable outdoor environment and adds to the experience with features such as Underwater mode for underwater photography, and an Outdoor View setting that adapts monitor brightness to ambient lighting. The Ricoh WG series cameras are well known for their tough design which can be used under harsh conditions. Rugged Chassis You Can Rely On in the Harshest Conditions With features that include uncompromising waterproofing—good for two hours of continuous use at a depth of 14 meters—freeze proofing that ensures operation at temperatures up to -10-degree-C, shock proofing capable of withstanding drops of 1.6 meters, and crush proofing capable of withstanding forces of 100 kgf, this rugged camera can be used in all conditions. Sharp, High-Resolution Images with 5x Optical Zoom With a high-performance image processing engine and a back-illuminated CMOS sensor boasting high optical efficiency and an 16 effective megapixels, the WG-70 takes low-noise photos with a wide dynamic range that look beautiful even as prints. It captures sharp, high-resolution images with 5x optical zoom starting from wide-angle of 28mm. Shoot Movies in Full HD While the camera is capable of recording Full HD (16:9) video at 30 fps, it also offers a High Speed Movie mode for recording slow-motion video and an Underwater Movie mode suited to underwater movie recording. Movie and Underwater Movie modes offer Movie SR (shake reduction), which can be used to reduce the effects of camera shake. Movie editing features within the camera let you split video or create movie stills from selected frames. The camera’s HDMI connector (Type D) lets you display movies on TVs and other devices. Underwater Mode Developed specifically for underwater photography, the WG-70’s Underwater mode reduces the blue color cast so often seen in pictures taken underwater and effectively adjusts contrast to compensate for diffuse underwater light. Outdoor View Setting 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. Flash Off/Flash On In this mode, the camera takes two pictures each time the shutter button is pressed, one with the flash off and the other with it on, letting you concentrate on composition without fiddling with the controls. 25 Shooting Modes to Suit Various Scenes The camera offers settings suited to every subject, including an Auto Picture mode that automatically identifies the subject type and chooses the appropriate mode, a Landscape mode for vivid shots of green trees or blue sky, a Surf and Snow mode suited to shots backed by brightly-lit beaches or mountain snows, and a Sports mode for shots of fast-moving subjects. You also have a Green mode option that lets you instantly restore defaults by pressing the green button. Expand your Creative Horizons with Image Tone Customize pictures to your subject or your taste with six image tone options, including the new Cross Process feature for photos with the unique coloring associated with cross-processing film development techniques, Vibrant for rich, bright, vivid colors, and Slide Film for dynamic, high-contrast images like those produced by reversal film. Six Built-In LED Lamps around the Lens The six LED lamps, positioned around the lens, light automatically even during normal macro photography, ensuring that your subject is always well-lit. One of the attractions of the WG-series is that it lets you shoot from as close as 1 cm (0.03 feet), letting you get much closer to your subject than an SLR or smartphone camera.
