With a lens comprising 11 elements (including 5 aspheric elements) arranged in 9 groups, it provides remarkable optical performance.

Whether you’re shooting portraits, landscapes, or macro shots, the WG-8 offers extensive creative options with 18 scene modes and 12 digital filters to explore your artistic flair. Video enthusiasts will love the capability to shoot in stunning 4K resolution at 30fps in H.264 format. The Movie SR (Shake Reduction) mode, along with the newly developed Movie SR+ mode, delivers gimbal-like stabilization for high-quality recordings during fast-paced outdoor activities.

The camera features a substantial 3.0″ LCD screen with exceptional resolution and an anti-reflective coating that reduces glare, making it easy to frame your shots accurately. Additionally, an electronic level ensures precise alignment.
