Pentax WG-90 Black – Waterproof, Shockproof Compact Camera Kit with Floating Strap and Neoprene Case (FOC)

Pentax WG-90 is a compact camera built for outdoor and underwater use. It combines rugged protection with a versatile 5x optical zoom and a back-illuminated 16.0 megapixel CMOS sensor to capture clear images in challenging conditions. The kit includes a floating strap and a neoprene case FOC, plus accessories for immediate use.

Rugged construction for adventures

The WG-90 features a tough exterior designed for reliable handling in harsh environments. For example, the airtight body is waterproof down to a depth of 14 meters for up to two hours of continuous operation (IPX 8 class). It also withstands impacts and pressure: the camera is shockproof against falls from a height of 1.6 meters and crushproof against weights up to 100kgf. Moreover, the grip remains easy to hold even when you wear gloves or operate the camera underwater.

Optics and imaging performance

Start with a 5x optical zoom lens that covers a 28–140mm equivalent focal length in 35mm format. This dynamic zoom range makes the WG-90 suitable for landscapes, underwater scenes, travel shots and portraits. Inside the camera sits a back-illuminated 16.0 megapixel CMOS sensor, which supports high sensitivity with low noise.

In addition, effective image stabilization helps you shoot stills and films in low light or underwater. The camera’s face detection system can identify up to 32 faces, which aids group and portrait shooting.

Macro and close-up capabilities

Pentax WG-90 excels in close-up work. It offers a macro function with a Digital Microscope mode that allows shooting from a minimum working distance of 1 cm. The camera ships with a macro stand to support stable close-up composition.

For illuminating subjects at close range, the WG-90 uses a six-LED macro light unit. The maximum illumination intensity is upgraded compared to the previous model, and you can adjust brightness across five levels for improved operability during macro shooting.

Smart underwater modes

The camera provides dedicated Underwater and Underwater Movie modes. These modes compensate for the loss of contrast caused by light diffusion in water while enhancing the reddish hues that fade out underwater. Consequently, you can capture clearer and more color-accurate underwater scenes.

In Underwater mode, the Flash Off + Flash On option captures two images with a single shutter press: first without flash and then with flash. This feature helps you compare natural and flash-illuminated results for better underwater image selection.
