## Description

1. Heavy-duty construction assuring underwater shooting down to 14 meters, for up to two hours The solid, airtight body common to the WG-70 is not only waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters for up to two hours of continuous operation (equivalent to IPX 8 or JIS Class 8), but is also shockproof against falls from a height of 1. 6 meters, dustproof (equivalent to IPX 6 or JIS Class 6), freeze-proof to temperatures as low as -10°C, and crushproof against weights up to 100kgf (kilogram force). Thanks to this heavy-duty construction, the cameras perform superbly and dependably even in harsh, demanding outdoor conditions. 2. Exceptional image quality The WG-70 comes equipped with a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, which assures excellent high-sensitivity and low-noise characteristics and high-speed readout of image data signals. Coupled with a high-performance imaging engine, this image sensor delivers a top sensitivity of ISO 6400 and super-high-resolution images with approximately 16. 0 effective megapixels. These models also provide advanced image processing functions, made possible by the latest super-resolution technology, to assure sharp, clear, high-resolution images. They even offer such innovative features as Handheld Night Snap mode, which automatically captures several images of the same nighttime scene and produces a single, blur-free composite image from them. 3. Improved usability of Digital Microscope mode The WG-70 has a Digital Microscope mode that allows the subject to be greatly enlarged. Usability is improved as the recording size can be newly selected from 2M (1920 x 1080), which gives priority to enlargement with digital zoom, to a maximum of 12M (16: 9) (4608 x 2592), which is useful when printing or trimming with high resolution which further expands the field of shooting. 4. Six Macro Lights to assist close-up shooting, with various functions Ideally positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel for macro shooting, six LED Macro Lights allow the WG-70 to provide bright, uniform illumination on a subject when the Digital Microscope mode is selected. Thanks to these Macro Lights, the user can clearly see a magnified view of the microscopic world undetectable by the naked eye on the cameras LCD monitor, and effortlessly capture eye-catching, close-up images. In order to minimize camera shake and subject shake, the Instant Illumination Enhance function allows for the use of a higher shutter speed by automatically raising the discharge level of the Macro Lights at the moment of shutter release. The Macro Lights also provide other useful functions, such as a Self-Portrait Assist mode, which uses the blink of an LED lamp to check if the subjects face has been safely captured within the picture frame, and the LED Lighting mode, which uses the Macro Lights as a lighting device in the dark. 5. Advanced underwater shooting mode Specifically designed for underwater photography, the image processing of Underwater and Underwater Movie shooting modes optimize color, contrast, and white balance, based on the data of images captured under the water. These modes deliver sharp, true-to-life images by enhancing shades of red, which are lost in underwater photography, while effectively compensating for the loss of contrast caused by the diffusion of light in water. During Underwater mode, the Flash Off + Flash On option, allows the user to consecutively capture two images with a single shutter release one without flash and another with flash. 6. Cross Processing added to Image Tone Cross Processing is an effect popular among our products, which allows you to enjoy unique photographic expressions. With WG-70, this mode is added to Image Tone, which can be selected with several shooting modes including, P (Program). The parameters of the image is adjusted to give a unique color-changed finish, like a cross-processed film . 7.5X optical zoom lens with a 28mm wide-angle coverage The WG-70 feature a high-performance, five-times optical zoom lens with a focal-length coverage from 5mm to 25mm (equivalent to approx. 28mm to 140mm in the 35mm format) to accommodate a wide range of scenes and subjects, including sweeping landscapes. They also provide other convenient shooting functions, such as a macro mode to capture dramatic close-up images from a minimum focusing distance of a mere one centimeter; an Intelligent Zoom function to extend the zoom range to approximately 36 times (equivalent to 1008mm in the 35mm format) without compromising image quality, for superior telephoto photography; and an interval shooting mode, which comes in handy for fixed-point observation. 8. Full HD movie recording for extended shooting of high-quality movies The WG-70 provides Full HD movie recording employing the H.264 recording format. Users can capture high-quality, extended movie clips (1920 x 1080 pixels, 16:9 proportions) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. To add some creative touches to movie recording, they also feature a high-speed camera function for slow-motion playback of captured movie clips, and an interval movie function. A micro-HDMI terminal (Type D) is also provided on the camera body for simultaneous output of Full HD movie clips and sound to external audio-visual devices. 9. Triple anti-shake protection to prevent blurred images in all applications (1) Pixel Track SR mechanism When recording still images, this advanced shake-reduction mechanism effectively compensates for camera shake by digitally processing affected images. (2) Digital SR mode When the camera detects low-lighting conditions in still-image shooting, this mode automatically raises the sensitivity up to as high as ISO 6400, making it possible to use a higher shutter speed and effectively minimize the adverse effect of camera shake and subject shake when dealing with poor lighting conditions. (3) Movie SR mode During movie recording, this mode effectively compensates for the misalignment of images caused by camera shake through the use of exclusive software to produce beautiful, blur-free movie clips. 10. 2. 7-inch LCD monitor with the Outdoor View Setting mode The WG-60 come equipped 2. 7-inch LCD monitor with horizontally extended 16:9 proportions and approximately 230, 000 dots. The monitors AR (Anti-Reflection) coating minimizes annoying glare and reflections to assure a sharp, clear, on-screen image even in the harsh sunshine often encountered during outdoor shooting. It also comes equipped with such convenient features as: the Outdoor View Setting mode, which easily sets the optimum monitor brightness level for a given lighting condition 11. Other features ?A range of WG-series mount accessories (optional) to accommodate diverse camera setups? Two remote control receptors (one in front and another in the back) to widen signal coverage? Macro stand (included) to maintain a minimum focusing distance of one centimeter to the subject during extended observation and shooting of macro images? High-speed Face Detection function to capture as many as 32 faces in focus in approximately 0.03 seconds (minimum); Smile Capture function to automatically release the shutter when the subjects smile is detected? Outdoor-friendly Style Watch function to display the time on the LCD monitor, using an extended push of the OK button when the cameras power is turned off? Delay-free, pushbutton start of the playback mode, using an extended push of the playback button? Auto Picture mode to automatically select the most appropriate shooting mode from 16 different scene modes? A choice of 12 digital filters.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What type of sd card does this require full size, mini, micro etc? are there any restriction on the capacity the camera can handle?**
A: It takes full size SD cards. I use it as a marine surveyor. And with a 16gb SD card I can load over 600 pictures on one card.

**Q: how long does the battery last?**
A: According to the monufacturer, the battery lasts for around 300 still shots or 260 minutes of playback

**Q: Can I manually control the aperture, iso, and shutter speed settings?**
A: Not that I have found. There are many modes that pictures can be taken in that affect these settings, but the settings themselves are locked off.

**Q: What kind of cable does it use to charge direct to camera? I'd like to find an underwater camera that uses usb c since most other devices use that cab**
A: I believe the connection is a USB Micro, not the USB type C.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic for macro photos
*by C***  on September 2, 2021*

I love this camera. I specialize in close-up photography, and most of the pictures I have taken have been on the beach of animals or their remains. I take photos with the camera slightly under the water or above it where it gets splashed. (I do not dive with it.) I end up with tons of sand on it and have dropped it often. I have seen no decline in the quality of the photos from this rugged treatment.I can get so close that the lens "cap" touches the subject! The quality of the detail from being so close is amazing. I often say, "I had no idea they looked like that!" The camera reveals what would otherwise be invisible to me. My more expensive Sony point-and-shoot cannot get nearly as close and stay in focus.I attached a photo of the bottom side of a purple sea urchin. I have other photos that are even closer, but posted this one so that the viewer can more easily tell what it is.The camera has lots of features for those who prefer more than an Auto setting. For those who don't, just put it on Auto and point-and-shoot. Another big plus is that the battery lasts a long time relative to other cameras I have.The weaknesses are that the zoom is not particularly good. The battery cover and charging port are not easily opened, which might be because it helps keep it water proof. The screen has scratches and marks---given how I bang it around that isn't a surprise. I think adding a screen protector would be a smart move.Overall, it's a great camera, with a price considerably less than other good cameras of a similar type. It can handle water, sand, dirt, dropping, and generally treated badly, as I often do, without a decline in quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome little camera!
*by A***N on December 22, 2020*

This is a great little camera! Picture quality is excellent, color consistency is excellent, controls and menus are easy and intuitive. It has lots of "modes" and they each seem to do their job better than I would expect for a camera at this price point. The microscope mode is AMAZING and lots of fun to experiment with. I have used it in bright sun, on cloudy days, while snorkeling, and I've even taken it on a couple shallow scuba dives and it has performed better than expected on all occasions. I can not imagine a better camera for the price. I included a couple microscope photos of a serrated knife edge and the foil of an electric shaver.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great camera for a tough environment
*by I***S on September 15, 2022*

This camera is used for work. It is exposed to harsh environments daily and has operated flawlessly. Picture quality is great. Especially the zoom. The microscope picture mode is a bonus and I find I need it more than expected. The LED ring lights that are automatic in this mode make it great for those close up shots in tight spaces. The LED lights can be always on in situations where you may need that feature. Great camera for the money.
