1. Heavy-duty construction assuring underwater shooting down to
14 meters, for up to two hours The solid, airtight body common to
the WG-70 is not only waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters for
up to two hours of continuous operation (equivalent to IPX 8 or
JIS Class 8), but is also shockproof against falls from a height
of 1. 6 meters, dustproof (equivalent to IPX 6 or JIS Class 6),
freeze-proof to temperatures as low as -10°C, and crushproof
against weights up to 100kgf (kilogram force). Thanks to this
heavy-duty construction, the cameras perform superbly and
dependably even in harsh, demanding outdoor conditions. 2.
Exceptional image quality The WG-70 comes equipped with a
back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, which assures excellent
high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics and high-speed
readout of image data signals. Coupled with a high-performance
imaging engine, this image sensor delivers a top sensitivity of
ISO 6400 and super-high-resolution images with approximately 16.
0 effective megapixels. These models also provide advanced image
processing functions, made possible by the latest
super-resolution technology, to assure sharp, clear,
high-resolution images. They even offer such innovative features
as Handheld Night Snap mode, which automatically captures several
images of the same nighttime scene and produces a single,
blur-free composite image from them. 3. Improved usability of
Digital Micro mode The WG-70 has a Digital Micro mode
that allows the subject to be greatly d. Usability is
improved as the size can be newly selected from 2M
(1920 x 1080), which gives priority to ment with digital
zoom, to a maximum of 12M (16: 9) (4608 x 2592), which is useful
when printing or trimming with high resolution which further
expands the field of shooting. 4. Six Macro Lights to assist
close-up shooting, with various functions Ideally positioned
around the circumference of the lens barrel for macro shooting,
six LED Macro Lights allow the WG-70 to provide bright, uniform
illumination on a subject when the Digital Micro mode is
selected. Thanks to these Macro Lights, the user can clearly see
a magnified view of the microscopic world undetectable by the
naked eye on the camera’s LCD monitor, and effortlessly capture
eye-catching, close-up images. In order to minimize camera shake
and subject shake, the Instant Illumination Enhance function
allows for the use of a higher shutter speed by automatically
raising the discharge level of the Macro Lights at the moment of
shutter release. The Macro Lights also provide other useful
functions, such as a Self-Portrait Assist mode, which uses the
blink of an LED lamp to check if the subject’s face has been
safely captured within the picture frame, and the LED Lighting
mode, which uses the Macro Lights as a lighting device in the
dark. 5. Advanced underwater shooting mode Specifically designed
for underwater photography, the image processing of Underwater
and Underwater Movie shooting modes optimize color, contrast, and
white balance, based on the data of images captured under the
water. These modes deliver sharp, true-to-life images by
enhancing shades of red, which are lost in underwater
photography, while effectively compensating for the loss of
contrast caused by the diffusion of light in water. During
Underwater mode, the Flash Off + Flash On option, allows the user
to consecutively capture two images — with a single shutter
release — one without flash and another with flash. 6. Cross
Processing added to Image Tone Cross Processing is an effect
popular among our products, which allows you to enjoy unique
photographic expressions. With WG-70, this mode is added to Image
Tone, which can be selected with several shooting modes
including, P (Program). The parameters of the image is adjusted
to give a unique color-changed finish, like a cross-processed
film. 7. 5X optical zoom lens with a 28mm wide-angle coverage The
WG-70 feature a high-performance, 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, including sweeping landscapes. They
also provide other convenient shooting functions, such as a macro
mode to capture dramatic close-up images from a minimum focusing
distance of a mere one centimeter; an Intelligent Zoom function
to extend the zoom range to approximately 36 times (equivalent to
1008mm in the 35mm format) without compromising image quality,
for superior telephoto photography; and an interval shooting
mode, which comes in handy for fixed-point observation. 8. Full
HD movie for extended shooting of high-quality movies
The WG-70 provides Full HD movie employing the H. 264
format. Users can capture high-quality, extended movie
clips (1920 x 1080 pixels, 16: 9 proportions) at a frame rate of
30 frames per second. To add some creative touches to movie
, they also feature a high-speed camera function for
slow-motion playback of captured movie clips, and an interval
movie function. A micro-HDMI terminal (Type D) is also provided
on the camera body for simultaneous output of Full HD movie clips
and sound to external audio-visual devices. 9. Triple anti-shake
protection to prevent blurred images in all applications (1)
Pixel Track SR mechanism When still images, this
advanced shake-reduction mechanism effectively compensates for
camera shake by digitally processing affected images. (2) Digital
SR mode When the camera detects low-lighting conditions in
still-image shooting, this mode automatically raises the
sensitivity up to as high as ISO 6400, making it possible to use
a higher shutter speed and effectively minimize the adverse
effect of camera shake and subject shake when dealing with poor
lighting conditions. (3) Movie SR mode During movie ,
this mode effectively compensates for the misalignment of images
caused by camera shake through the use of exclusive software to
produce beautiful, blur-free movie clips. 10. 2.7-inch LCD
monitor with the Outdoor View Setting mode The WG-60 come
equipped 2.7-inch LCD monitor with horizontally extended 16:9
proportions and approximately 230, 000 dots. The monitor’s AR
(Anti-Reflection) coating minimizes annoying glare and
reflections to assure a sharp, clear on-screen image even in the
harsh sunshine often encountered during outdoor shooting. It also
comes equipped with such convenient features as: the Outdoor View
Setting mode, which easily sets the optimum monitor brightness
level for a given lighting condition 11. Other features ・A range
of WG-series accessories (optional) to accommodate diverse
camera setups ・Two remote control receptors (one in front and
another in the back) to widen signal coverage ・Macro stand
(included) to maintain a minimum focusing distance of one
centimeter to the subject during extended observation and
shooting of macro images ・High-speed Face Detection function to
capture as many as 32 faces in focus in approximately 0.03
seconds (minimum); Smile Capture function to automatically
release the shutter when the subject’s smile is detected
・Outdoor-friendly Style Watch function to display the time on the
LCD monitor, using an extended push of the OK button when the
camera’s power is turned off ・Delay-free, pushbutton start of the
playback mode, using an extended push of the playback button
・Auto Picture mode to automatically select the most appropriate
shooting mode from 16 different scene modes ・A choice of 12
digital filters.
