Features:
PENTAX pushes the PENTAX WG adventure camera series to the edge for the 13th
time with the PENTAX Optio WG-2 GPS digital compact camera.
PENTAX’s 13th generation rugged waterproof digital camera is adventure proof,
and perfect for almost any environment from hot to cold, dry to wet, in rain,
snow, surf, sand, or dust.
Digital Microscope mode uses 6 macro LEDs and detachable macro focus ring for
perfect focus and smooth, even lighting around the smallest of subjects as close
as 1 cm from the front of the camera.
Waterproof to a depth of 40 feet is perfect for use when submerged in a pool,
lake, or ocean, or simply when caught in a sudden downpour.
Crushproof construction withstands weights up to 220 LBF (pound-force),
preventing damage at the bottom of a backpack or handbag, or when accidentally
wedged between a body and a solid object.
Dustproof. Wide angle 5X internal optical zoom lens (28-140mm equivalent)
provides flexible capture of subjects near or far without sacrificing any bit of
the camera’s rugged design.
Shockproof, ruggedized design protects from drops up to 5 feet, ensuring
stable operation during rigorous activity or for life’s everyday mishaps.
Coldproof to sub-freezing temperatures of minus 10 degrees C (14 degrees F)
is ideal for use in cold, snowy, wet conditions from skiing to snowmobiling,
snowshoeing to sledding, or just building a snowman in the front yard.
GPS functionality (in select models) allows for positional data recording
with images for geo-tagging applications, as well as position logging and
flexible time sync when travelling.
