Shoot highly-realistic 4K movies while keeping shake to a minimum with the camera’s powerful shake reduction feature. It features a 20-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch sensor and a range of tough guy credentials, including 20-metre waterproofing, plus the promise of being crushproof, dustproof and freezeproof. It also has a unique LED ring around the lens for macro shooting.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). Also requiring a little more strength to use than the average camera are the rear function buttons, although they’re all raised nicely and easy to access if you’re confident in operating the camera single-handed. Most of the buttons, including the four-way controller are self-explanatory, although there is a movie button marked ADJ. If you use the mode dial to access the Movie mode, this button can give you easy access to settings. The menu system is also quite easy to come to grips with. With most camera makers no longer keen on resurrecting point-and-shoot cameras of any flavor, you’re restricted to a very small number of existing options that launched a few years ago. And if it’s specifically a waterproof camera you’re after, you are left with only a handful. Of these, the Olympus TG-6 is the best option, although a little pricier than the Ricoh WG-6. It’s got a lower resolution sensor in comparison, but that works to its advantage by offering better image quality. The position of GPS satellites are continuously changing and this may prevent or delay the acquisition of GPS information.

Then again, many of today’s smartphones offer milder forms of waterproofing, and the WG-6 has big competition on either side of its price point in the form of the premium Olympus TG-6 and much more affordable Fujifilm XP140. Insert the battery into the camera and confirm the battery is full by battery level indicator then turn the camera off. It is about 10m in the state where GPS reception environment is good, such as the open outdoors of the sky. Set in [GPS] of the C Customize menu 3 or press and hold (GPS) key to turn the GPS function on and off. So, moving along, how do the Ricoh WG-6’s photos match up to the specification and performance? Are we getting images here that transcend the camera’s point and shoot origins, or do they very much indicate this is a device for taking shots where digital devices otherwise fear to tread first, with image quality coming second?Approx. 246g / 8.6 oz. (Included dedicated battery and SD memory card),Approx. 219g / 7.7 oz.(Body only) Approximate times for continuous use when the battery is fully charged (These times vary depending on the room temperature and other factors when using the camera.)

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) Ricoh WG-6 is waterproof. With this camera you can shoot underwater photos, and in extremly wet conditions If you’re particularly keen on shooting macro images, the WG-6 might seem like a good choice with its in-built macro light feature being unique among compact cameras. Unfortunately, you’re restricted to shooting at just three megapixels with this mode, which is a bit off-putting and again makes the Olympus TG-6 more appealing. Various functions not available with built-in PC cameras. Useful in outdoor and indoor scenes, and also during business and leisure situations. The range of situations for using WG-6 continues to expand.
