 |
20m waterproof for up to 2 hours
 |
 |
|
WG‑series cameras can be used worry-free on muddy jobsites, in the rain, or where the sea-spray flies—and any dirt or salt can afterwards be safely washed off with water. Waterproof: IPX8/ JIS Class 8 |
 |
Withstand as cold as -10℃ with dustproof quality
 |
 |
|
With a body that keeps out dust and sand, WG‑series cameras can be used on demolition worksites and in other dusty locations, in cold regions, and on winter building sites. Dustproof: IP6X/JIS Class 6 |
 |
A lens threaded for 37mm filters
 |
|
A lens threaded for 37mm filters (WG‑6 only) allows the WG‑6 to be used with a wide variety of third-party filters, including PL filters and protective filters to avoid dust, scratches and condensation from the lens.

|
|
Outstanding macro performance delivered by the camera’s superior optics lets you shoot close-ups from ranges as little as 10cm for high-resolution photos that capture every detail of your subject, down to its texture and individual lumps and bumps. Perfect for photo records of precision machinery or wherever fine details need be noted. |
 |
Choose Digital Microscope mode to shoot from as close as 1cm
|
|
Choose Digital Microscope mode for ultra-close closeups lit by the camera’s LED Ring Light, letting you easily record fine details invisible to the naked eye.
