This camera boasts an impressive 14-meter waterproof capacity, good for two continuous hours of use, freeze-proofing that ensures functionality at temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius, shock-proofing that withstands drops of up to 1.6 meters, and crush-proofing capable of enduring forces up to 100 kgf.

Adventure awaits, and the Ricoh WG-80 is designed to document every moment.

Capture Stunning High-Resolution Images
Beyond its rugged exterior, the WG-80 boasts impressive imaging capabilities. Equipped with approximately 16 effective megapixels, a lens offering 5x optical zoom starting from a wide-angle of 28mm, and ultra-high-resolution technology integrated into its image processing, this camera delivers high-definition images that remain stunning even when printed. The high-performance image processing engine and back-illuminated CMOS sensor, with high optical efficiency and 16 effective megapixels, ensure low-noise photos with a wide dynamic range.

Adjustable Macro Lighting for Striking Effects
The WG-80 takes macro photography to a new level with its innovative Ring Light feature. The brightness of the Ring Light can be adjusted in five levels during macro shooting, allowing you to create a three-dimensional effect and emphasize contrast with the background. With six LED lights with adjustable brightness, the maximum brightness is now about twice as bright as the previous model, expanding your range of shooting expressions.

Built for the Toughest Environments
Designed to withstand the harshest environments, the WG-80 features a robust chassis that is water-, dust-, cold-, and shock-resistant - essential for construction worksites and outdoor adventures. Additionally, the six LED lamps arranged around the lens provide lighting for macro photography, ensuring you never miss a shot, even in challenging conditions.

Customize Your Images with Unique Image Tones
Unleash your creativity with six image tone options, including the new Cross Process feature for photos with the unique coloring associated with cross-processing film development techniques, Vibrant for rich, bright, vivid colors, and Slide Film for dynamic, high-contrast images reminiscent of reversal film.

Capture Cinematic Moments in Full HD
The WG-80 doesn't just excel in photography; it also allows you to record Full HD (16:9) video at 30 fps. With a High-Speed Movie mode for recording slow-motion video and an Underwater Movie mode suited for underwater recording, the possibilities are endless. The Movie and Underwater Movie modes offer Movie SR (shake reduction) to minimize the effects of camera shake. Plus, with in-camera movie editing features, you can split video or create movie stills from selected frames. The camera's HDMI connector (Type D) lets you display movies on TVs and other devices.

Adaptable Outdoor View Setting
The WG-80 features a state-of-the-art LCD monitor that adjusts its brightness based on the ambient lighting conditions. Whether you are under the bright sun or beneath the starlit sky, the monitor increases or decreases its brightness by up to two steps. This ensures ease of viewing and an improved shooting experience, making dark areas of the display easier to see in sunlight, and reducing glare for night photography.

Versatile Shooting Modes for Every Scenario
Select from 25 different shooting modes tailored to suit every subject and scenario. The Auto Picture mode automatically identifies the subject type and selects the appropriate mode for you. Whether you are capturing the vivid greens of the trees, the deep blues of the sky, the action on brightly-lit beaches, or fast-moving sports scenes, there is a mode for everything:

Effortless Flash Off/Flash On Mode
Photography should be about capturing moments, not fumbling with controls. The WG-80 has a unique Flash Off/Flash On mode that takes two pictures each time the shutter button is pressed, one with the flash off and the other with it on. This lets you concentrate on your composition, ensuring you capture the moment as it happens.

Superior Macro Photography with Digital Microscope Mode
The WG-80 takes macro photography to the next level with its improved Digital Microscope mode. With lighting provided by six LED lamps positioned around the lens, this mode supports super macro photography that gives astonishing results. At the default image size of 2M, the WG-80 offers up to 6.6x zoom, capturing images that look almost like they were taken with a microscope. Additionally, new image size options of up to 12M enhance the potential of Digital Microscope mode, allowing for large prints or cropping during post-processing.

Furthermore, the LED lamps light automatically during normal macro photography, ensuring your subject is always well-lit. The WG-series allows shooting from as close as 1 cm (0.03ft), getting you much closer to your subject than an SLR or smartphone camera.

Automatically Capture Smiling Faces with Smile Capture!
Never miss a smile again! The camera detects portrait subjects and automatically releases the shutter when it spots the subject smiling. Additionally, it can detect when the subject is blinking and displays the message, "Closed eyes have been detected".

Self-Portrait Assist
Taking selfies has never been easier! When the camera detects the face of a portrait subject, the macro LEDs around the lens light up to show your location in the frame. And yes, the Smile Capture feature can also be activated during selfies!

Shrink Faces with the Small Face Filter!
Want to retouch your photos after shooting? The WG-80 allows you to reduce the size of faces relative to everything else in the photo. Faces can be reduced in size by approximately 5, 7, or 10 percent.

Compress Time with Interval Movie!
Create stunning time-lapse movies from still images taken automatically at preset intervals. You can choose interval settings from 1, 5, 10, 30, or 60 minutes.
