This rugged model is more than tough enough to handle general outdoor use. In addition to a dustproof design protecting against mud and dust, it is coldproof for operation at temperatures down to -10℃, its shock resistance has passed drop testing up to a height of 1.5 meters, and its crush-resistant construction handles loads up to 100 kgf (kilogram-force).
The 2.7-inch wide LCD monitor has 16:9 dimensions and approximately 230,000 dots. It features an AR (anti-reflection) coating that suppresses light reflection to reduce glare so that it is bright and easy to see even outdoors in strong sunlight.
High image quality with a 5x optical zoom covering a wide-angle to telephoto range.
The compact body features a 5-25 mm (approx. 28-140 mm equivalent in 35 mm format) focal length 5x optical zoom to provide wide coverage of diverse scenes, including everything from expansive landscapes and group pictures to telephoto shots.
Clear high-quality images with a high-resolution feel are achieved with approximately 14 megapixels of ultra-high resolution and a high-performance imaging engine as well as image processing functions to optimize processing of specific aspects of the image after shooting.
You can also shoot smooth HD movies with 1280 x 720 (16:9) pixel high resolution at 30 fps (frames per second).
A Digital Microscope Mode for photographing the wonders of nature.
The WG-20 has a Digital Microscope Mode which greatly magnifies the subject so you can view on the monitor and photograph a micro world unnoticed by the naked eye. The five LED lights around the lens can brightly illuminate the subject during macro shooting, and they can also be used by an “instantaneous brightness increase” function that raises brightness at the instant the picture is taken, thereby enabling a higher shutter speed to reduce hand and subject motion blur.
The packaged macro stand enables you to observe the subject over a long period while maintaining the minimum shooting distance (1 cm) between camera and subject.
