Product details

The Pentax WG-8 is your companion for breathtaking underwater shots and unforgettable adventures. Thanks to its excellent water resistance and the ability to capture up to two hours of uninterrupted underwater images, it keeps pace with you wherever your journey takes you.

With its back-illuminated CMOS image sensor and a powerful image processing module, the WG-8 captures detailed, high-resolution images of up to 20 megapixels, even in challenging lighting conditions. The Super-Resolution technology ensures razor-sharp shots, while the handheld night shooting mode minimizes shake and provides clear images at night.

Dive up to 20 meters deep and capture your experiences without compromising image quality. The WG-8 is not only waterproof but also shockproof from a height of 2.1 meters and withstands loads of up to 100 kgf, ensuring your adventures remain unscathed.

Choose from 18 scene modes and 12 digital filters to unleash your creativity and give each image a personal touch. The 3.0-inch LCD monitor with a wide viewing angle allows for comfortable image composition and viewing, whether you are underwater or on land.

The Pentax WG-8 is an essential tool for adventurers who want to capture their experiences in the best quality. Explore the world with the WG-8 and capture every moment, no matter how demanding the conditions are.
