Pentax WG-1000 All-Weather Compact Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and 20 Color Modes (Gray)
Ricoh Imaging is pleased to announce the new Pentax WG-1000 All-Weather Compact Camera. The WG-1000 is designed for casual underwater photography to a depth of 49.2 feet (15 meters) for up to one hour of continuous operation. Lightweight yet rugged, it is also well suited for a range of land-based activities - it is dustproof against dirt and stains and shockproof against a fall from a height of 6.5 feet (2 meters). The WG-1000 features a 4x optical zoom lens with a focal-length coverage from 4.9 mm to 19.6mm (equivalent to approximately 27mm to 108mm in the 35mm format). When coupled with its Digital Zoom function, the camera's zoom range can be extended by approximately 24 times for high-magnification zoom photography. Its back-illuminated, 16.35-megapixel CMOS image sensor delivers sharp, clear, high-resolution images, even at a super-high sensitivity of ISO 3200. Seven image capture modes and a variety of color modes enable users to enhance their images based on their shooting environment and add their aesthetic to the finished photos. Available in a gray finish, the WG-1000 comes with a carabiner strap and a protector jacket, which helps protect the camera body from scratches.
Solid All-Weather Body for Protection against Dust and Water
The WG-1000 features a dependable all-weather body, designed to be waterproof down to a depth of 49.2 feet (15 meters) for up to one hour of continuous operation, dustproof against dirt and stains, and shockproof against a fall from a height of 6.5 feet (two meters). It can be used for a wide range of scenes and activities, even in harsh, demanding conditions. The WG-1000 can be sterilized with solutions containing ethanol, sodium hypochlorite (approved as a disinfectant of food additives), or chlorine dioxide, so it can be safely used at medical facilities and worksites.
Sharp, Clear Images
With a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 16.35 effective megapixels, offering excellent high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics and high-speed image data readout, the WG-1000 delivers sharp, clear, high-resolution images, even at a super-high sensitivity of ISO 3200.
4X Optical Zoom Lens with a 27mm Wide-Angle Coverage
The WG-1000 features a four-times optical zoom lens with a focal-length coverage from 4.9 mm to 19.6mm (equivalent to approximately 27mm to 108mm in the 35mm format) to accommodate a wide range of applications. When coupled with the camera's Digital Zoom function, its zoom range can be extended by approximately 24 times for high-magnification zoom photography.

In addition to the conventional Black and White and Sepia modes, it also features more creative options - Japan Style, which enhances bluish hues, Italian Style, which enhances greenish hues, French Style, which enhances reddish hues, Negative, which creates a finishing touch resembling that of negative film before a positive is made, and Sketch, which adds a visual effect resembling that of a drawing. Sketch lets the user effortlessly add the desired finishing touch, either before or after shooting.
