Description:
The Pentax WG-10 is an affordable entry-level waterproof compact camera that builds on the design of the WG-1, but features improved hardware.

It will be available for $179 through select stores only (Target in the US).

The WG-10 is water proof for a depth to 10 meters and for up to two hours submerged. It is shock resistant against a fall from 1.5 meters and cold proof down to -10 degrees C.

The WG-10 includes the Pentax microscope mode with built-in light for macro photography in the form of five LED's around the lens.

The camera has three kinds of shake reduction:
1: Pixel Track SR (software based)
2: Digital SR (boosting ISO to prevent long shutter speeds)
3: Move SR: provides blur-free movie clips through software based shake reduction

Other features:

1) High-speed Face Detection function, with Self-Portrait Assist mode

2) Protector Jacket O-CC1182 (optional accessory) to protect
the camera body from scratches and grime

3) O-ST1352 Float Strap (optional accessory) to prevent the loss of the camera in the water

4) Auto Picture mode to automatically select the most appropriate shooting mode from 16 different scene modes

5) 12 digital filters for creative expressions

6) Digital Wide mode to compose an extra-wide-angle picture (equivalent to approx. 21mm wide angle in the 35mm format) from two separate images

7) Compatibility with Eye-Fi wireless LAN SD memory cards.
