The WG-90 is a standard-class, waterproof digital compact camera, designed for casual underwater photography to a depth of 14 meters.

Posted: 07/12/2023 - 18:53

Despite its compact, lightweight body, this standard-class, waterproof digital compact camera is designed to be waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters, shockproof against a fall from a height of 1.6 meters, and freeze-proof against temperatures as low as -10°C. It assures outstanding reliability and operability even under harsh conditions where ordinary compact cameras and smartphones often become unusable. It comes equipped with an outdoor-friendly monitor, which swiftly optimizes the image brightness level to improve the visibility of a scene in bright outdoor locations. It also features the PENTAX-original Digital Microscope mode, which allows the user to capture clear, vivid images of a microscopic world normally undetectable with the naked eye. This model can be used for a wide range of scenes and subjects, ranging from casual snapshots to outdoor and underwater photography, and even in specialized worksite applications.

Over the years, PENTAX has developed and marketed dustproof, waterproof or weather-resistant products, all of which have been well received and highly respected by many users. This product lineup will be further expanded in the future, while marketed under the PENTAX brand beginning with the PENTAX WG-90 -- just like the PENTAX digital SLR lineup, in which all models are designed to be dustproof and weather-resistant.
