Outdoor-friendly LCD monitor
The WG-90’s 2.7-inch LCD monitor, with 16:9 proportions and approximately 230,000 dots, is treated with the advanced AR (Anti-Reflection) coating to minimize annoying glare and reflections. Its Outdoor View Setting mode lets you optimize the monitor’s brightness level for ambient lighting conditions — whether it’s outdoor shooting under the harsh sunshine or nighttime photography — to improve the visibility of an on-screen image. The brightness level can be raised or lowered in two steps to each side.
Creative, flexible processing of captured images
The WG-90’s Ink Rubbing filter allows you to casually save your catches as creative digital images. By applying this filter to a captured image, you can effortlessly create a unique image resembling an ink stamp. Since the filtering effect can be adjusted at five levels, you can even create a high-contrast, monochromatic image of your catch.
The WG-90 also provides other creative functions to process captured images in a unique, creative way. They include a selection of digital filters and original picture frames, which are designed to shift tones, add special visual effects, dramatize images, or create various types of ambience.
Flash Off + Flash On option for two-image consecutive shooting
In the Underwater mode, this creative option comes in handy when shooting underwater creatures. With a single shutter release, the WG-90 automatically captures two images — one without flash and another with flash — to minimize the time and trouble for camera control and let you concentrate on the image composition.
A selection of Image Tone modes, identical with those featured in PENTAX Digital SLR models
The WG-90 provides six distinctive Image Tone modes to add the desired finishing touch to captured images, depending on the subject or your creative intensions. They include: Cross Process, which emulates a unique color scheme associated with a cross-processing film development technique;* Vibrant, which applies bright, rich, vivid colors; and Slide Film, which creates dynamic, high-contrast images resembling those produced by reversal film.
User-friendly tools for macro photography
Macro photography lets you capture close-up images of small subjects, such as tiny petals and insects, in great detail. The WG-90’s 1cm Macro mode lets you capture the subject from as close as one centimeter away. It features six LED Macro Lights, which are ideally positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel. In the Macro Lighting mode, these lights allow you to adjust the illumination intensity to five different levels to assure the ideal lighting condition, while also preventing unwanted shade areas.
A choice of 25 scene modes
The WG-90 allows you to choose the desired scene mode from 25 options, including: Auto Picture, which automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given scene or subject to preserve it in a beautiful image; Landscape, which vividly expresses green shades of trees and blue shades of the sky; and Underwater and Underwater Movie, which reproduce natural colors of the underwater world by optimizing white balance to reduce the bluish color cast.
