An all-weather outdoor camera with superb waterproof performance
The PENTAX WG-1000 features a dependable all-weather body, designed to be waterproof down to a depth of 15 meters for up to one hour of continuous operation, dustproof against dirt and stains, and shockproof against falls from a height of two meters. It boasts an IPX8 rating for waterproofing (JIS Class 8), an IP6X rating for dustproofing (JIS Class 6), and has been tested under RICOH IMAGING-original standards to withstand a drop from two meters onto a 5-cm thick plywood surface. |
Sharp, clear images
The WG-1000 is equipped with a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor that boasts approximately 16.35 effective megapixels, ensuring exceptional light reception efficiency for sharp, clear, high-resolution images.
