The RICOH WG- Series: Hard-Working Cameras
Rugged high-performance model
Shockproof to 2.1m
Withstands as cold as -10℃ with dustproof quality

of the Pentagon MIL‑Standard 810F Method
516.5–Shock drop test (a drop of 2.1m onto a
5cm. thick plywood surface).

WG‑series cameras can be used on demolition
worksites and in other dusty locations, in cold
regions, and on winter building sites.
Dustproof: IP 68/JIS Class 6
WG‑series cameras can be used worry‑free
on muddy jobsites, in the rain, or where the
sea‑spray ies—and any dirt or salt can be
safely washed off with water.

objects in the frame when shooting outdoors, but helps you compose photographs in cramped indoor spaces that offer a limited choice of vantage points. It’s also
waterproof*, letting you use it in the rain.
* JIS Class 7.
Note: The WG‑6 attached with DW‑5 can be stored in the SC‑900 camera case.
Choose Digital Microscope mode for ultra‑close closeups lit by the camera’s LED Ring Light, letting you easily record ne details invisible to the naked eye.

A powerful, adjustable Ring Light
Equipped for low-light situation
A powerful, adjustable Ring Light with LEDs that can be selectively turned on or off gives you clear, 3D views of cracks and
other subjects best examined in close‑ups. Brightness can be adjusted according to the distance to your subject, preventing
loss of detail in highlights when using the monitor to frame shots under the oor and in tight spots.
Equipped with the latest technology—a CMOS image sensor that works well at high sensitivities and an image processing engine that excels at noise reduction—
WG‑series cameras can be used for ashless low‑light photography not only in darkened rooms but even at night with the faintest of light when the subject is too
distant to be lit by the ash.

ISO: AUTO (125‑1600)

The WG‑6’s excellent performance at high sensitivities lets you
capture background details without using a ash.

Quick access to frequently used settings
Settings can be saved to the U1 and U2 positions on
the mode dial for instant recall. These modes offer
a hassle‑free way of optimizing settings to the job
when you need to work fast to take photos for record
keeping. It can also help ensure that different workers
operating a shared camera use the same settings.
