About this deal

The base of the camera features an off-centre screw thread for a tripod and a catch-operated slide and open compartment housing the Indonesian manufactured camera’s battery and media card, as previously detailed. Please perform the initial setting when you use FlashAir card following the instruction manual of the

Do not open the battery/card cover or terminal cover if the camera is wet. Wipe off any water with a clean lint-free cloth. Speaking of the lens – it’s a 5x optical zoom lens here, so the focal length range is 28mm to 140mm (in 35mm equivalent terms) with an aperture of f/3.5-5.5. Its minimum focusing distance is just 1cm, and the camera allows you to zoom in at 1.8x additionally, so you can really take advantage of its macro capabilities. To aid even further with macro shots, the camera comes with an additional ring that screws on in front of the lens, working as a stand of sorts and placing the camera at the closest focusing distance. RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD A assumes no responsibility under any circumstance for direct or indirect damage or damage from ripple effects that occurs from using the licensed software, for damage to data, programs, or other intangible properties, or for loss of usage benefits and lost profits. Insert the battery into the camera and confirm the battery is full by battery level indicator then turn the camera off.The front of the camera features the lens with the LED lights visible around it. And the filter thread around the lens, while designed to fit the macro ring, can also be used to attach other available accessories. There’s no handgrip to speak of here, but a textured strip of toughened rubber attached to the front plate offers some friction. On the other side of the front plate is the flash. When one of these modes is activated, the angle of view becomes narrower. The Movie SR+ mode can be used at a recorded pixel size smaller than the Full HD format (1920 x 1080 pixels) RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD shall not guarantee that the licensed software is suitable for the user's designated purposes, or that the licensed software is useful, or that this licensed software is free from defects, nor shall RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD make any other guarantees related to the licensed software. However, be aware that the Ricoh WG-6 still has a relatively small 1/2.3-inch sensor at its heart, which means that images inevitably resemble point and shoot camera quality shots, in being not quite as sharp or as detailed as anyone using an interchangeable lens camera, or even a high-end smartphone, would be used to. If there’s one thing you can rely on the Ricoh brand for, it’s a new toughened action camera compact every year. This year it’s the turn of the 20-megapixel resolution, 5x optical zoom, WG-6, originally announced alongside the Ricoh GR III premium model and which arrives in the wake of the older WG-60.

The brightness of the six LEDs around the lens can be adjusted to light the entire subject, or some can be turned off to add depth to close-ups taken in macro mode. The WG-6 comes equipped with a large, high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD monitor with 3:2 proportions and approximately 1,040,000 dots. Its AR (Anti-Reflection) coating minimizes annoying glare and reflections to deliver a sharp, clear on-screen image even in the bright sunshine often encountered in outdoor shooting. It also features an Outdoor View Setting, which allows for easy adjustment of monitor brightness according to changes in ambient lighting conditions, optimizing the visibility of the on-screen image. If the camera is very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure that it is turned off and the battery/card and terminal covers are firmly closed before rinsing it under running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short time (2 or 3 minutes) Record scenes exactly as they appear to the naked eye in beautiful, highly-realistic 4K (frame size 3840 × 2160 pixels). In addition to a Movie SR mode for normal shake reduction, for HD*1 and Full HD recording the camera now features a new Movie SR+ mode that produces natural footage with so little shake and distortion which seems to be a built-in gimbal stabilizer is equipped*2,3.

Actual performance may vary depending on operating conditions. Wiping off the camera while there is sand or dust on it may scratch the surface of the camera.

There’s no denying that the widest 28mm equivalent setting is useful for wideangle landscape shots and conversely the 140mmm telephoto reach is useful for getting in a little closer, but not that much more. In conclusion if you don’t ask too much of this camera, and focus on it being about capturing scenes and activities you otherwise wouldn’t be able to, you won’t be overly disappointed. Ricoh WG-6 is one of the lightest cameras in its category. This makes it very well suited for street photography and daily use RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD. wishes to announce the release of Firmware Update Software Version 1.07 for RICOH WG-6.The Olympus Tough TG-6 is tropicalized - this means you can use it also in adverse atmospheric and environmental conditions without ruining it But here, yes, that’s hardly the point – because the Ricoh WG-6 has been made to ensure photographers can attempt images in conditions and circumstances in which they wouldn’t think to risk a DSLR or mirror-less camera – most obviously, underwater. This is one of the brightest cameras in its category, even at the longest zoom settings - a huge plus in sports and nature photography It’s not quite as expensive as the Olympus TG-6, but it’s also nowhere near as good. If you’re going to compromise on image quality and features to save money, you’d probably be better suited to something even cheaper, such as the Fujifilm XP140 (or its now-discounted predecessor, the XP130). x 1080 @ 30p, MOV, H.264, Linear PCM1280 x 720 @ 120p, MOV, H.264, Linear PCM1280 x 720 @ 60p, MOV, H.264, Linear PCM1280 x 720 @ 30p, MOV, H.264, Linear PCM
