Ricoh WG-6 Orange (Tough Digital Camera)

This top-of-the-line waterproof digital compact camera is designed to be waterproof to a depth of 20 meters, shockproof against a fall from heights of 2.1 meters, and cold-resistant to temperatures as low as -10°C. Equipped with a state-of-the-art back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 20 effective megapixels and a high-performance imaging engine, it delivers super-high-resolution still images and 4K-resolution movie clips.

It also incorporates such outdoor-friendly features as a GPS module to record position data and travel log data onto captured images, and an electronic compass to enhance operability in the field. Positioned around the lens, a multi-application Ring Light unit featuring six bulbs provides bright, uniform illumination on the subject. Thanks to a choice of discharge patterns, these lights can also be used as a lighting device to illuminate the subject more three-dimensionally.

Uncompromising outdoor design.

With a sturdy chassis geared to use with gloves, boasting a grip that fits the hand and a new mode dial, and with a host of features that emphasize thoroughgoing water-, shock-, dust-, and crushproofing, the design of the WG-6 cuts no corners when it comes to outdoor use.

Combined with Outdoor View, monitor brightness settings that can easily be adjusted for outdoor lighting, these features ensure that the camera can be used without discomfort in all weathers.

The camera also features high-precision GPS that can log your route or record location data with photographs for later viewing in a map application or on a computer, further enhancing the post-photography experience.

20 effective megapixel for sharp, high-resolution images.

4K video support.

A high-resolution, high-sensitivity, back-illuminated CMOS image sensor and high-performance image-processing engine combine for low-noise, high-quality images.

The lens, which features 5× optical zoom and a focal length of about 28 mm (equivalent in 35 mm format) when zoomed all the way out, is suitable for a wide variety of subjects.

The camera also supports 4K for movies with four times the resolution of Full HD.

Get up to ten times more light* with a Ring Light function for macro photography or movie recording in poorly-lit locations.

The brightness of the six LEDs around the lens can be adjusted to light the entire subject, or some can be turned off to add depth to close-ups taken in macro mode.

An easy-to-use Digital Microscope mode.

The WG-6’s Digital Microscope mode makes it easy to take impressive macro photographs that capture details that cannot be resolved by the naked eye. The six-LED Ring Light helps prevent blur by allowing faster shutter speeds.
