Specifications
- Manufacturer: Pentax
- Part number: Optio WG-2 GPS White
- Description: By further enhancing the water tightness of the camera body, Pentax has upgraded the Optio WG2-GPS's underwater performance to 12 meters, for up to two hours of continuous operation. This camera is also designed to be highly shock-resistant, dustproof, cold-resistant, and crushproof. All these features make the Optio WG2-GPS the ideal imaging partner in harsh, demanding shooting conditions. The Optio WG2-GPS comes equipped with the back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, which offers much lower noise even when camera is set to higher sensitivities. With the combination of a top sensitivity of ISO 6400, 16 effective megapixels, and its imaging engine, this model delivers super-high-resolution images. The Optio WG2-GPS offers the full HD movie recording function employing the H.264 recording format, allowing the user to capture high-quality, extended movie clips (1920 x 1080 pixels) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
