Achieves high image quality even when shooting underwater, night scenes, and landscape
Inside the compact body of the WG-30 are a five-times optical zoom lens with an approx. 28mm wide-angle coverage (in the 35mm format) and the imaging power of approx.16.0 effective megapixels.
With a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with a high-performance image processing engine and low-noise performance, wide dynamic range shooting is possible.
A more evolved mermaid mode, suitable for underwater shooting, minimizes color cast underwater with optimized color reproduction.

Heavy-duty construction, waterproof to 12 meters and shockproof to 1.5 meters
The WG-30’s rugged, airtight body is ready for harsh, demanding outdoor conditions. It’s not only waterproof down to 12 meters and dustproof against sand and smudges, but shockproof against falls from heights to 1.5 meters, freezeproof to temperatures as low as -10℃, and crushproof against weights up to 100kgf (kilogram force).

A microscopic world, invisible to the naked eye!
By combining its 1cm Macro and zooming function, the WG-30 magnifies the subject on its LCD monitor for the observation and photography of a microscopic world invisible to the naked eye, for astonishing new discoveries.

Create interval movies with still images!
Continuously shoots still images at a fixed interval from the set start time and automatically connects the shot images to create one movie file.

Enjoy "frame-by-frame action" with this function.
