It also offers remarkable dust-proof performance to protect the camera from dry, dusty environments and exceptional cold-resistant performance for reliable operation at temperatures as low as –10°C.
GPS Module
The Optio WG-2 GPS comes equipped with an upgraded GPS module which shortens the time lag before the start of GPS operation and greatly extends the battery life when the GPS logging function is activated. The Optio WG-2 GPS allows you to record position data when shooting a still image and take advantage of various GPS-compatible applications and services provided by the included software* and such Web sites as Google Maps. It also corrects the built-in clock automatically to match local time of a particular shooting location. In addition, by simply by carrying the camera, it automatically creates log data and stores it as a KML-format file onto an SD memory card. With this log feature, you can keep accurate track of the movement during outdoor shooting, and display it later on the computer using various online services such as Google Earth.
* This function is only available with the Windows version supplied software.

5x Optical Zoom Lens
A 5X wide angle internal optical zoom lens, covering an angle of view equivalent to approximately 28 to 140 mm in 35 mm format is ideal for shooting a broad spectrum of subjects, from landscapes to indoor, portrait or group photos.
Macro Lighting and Digital Microscope Mode
Combining a macro shooting capability from as close as 1 cm away with its 6 LED Macro Lighting and unique Macro Stand, the Digital Microscope mode delivers magnified sharp pictures of even the smallest subjects, like insects, or the veins of a leaf.
Widescreen 3.0" LCD
The Large 3-inch LCD features HVGA resolution (460,000 dots) and a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. A special AR (Anti-Reflection) coating cuts the glare of external light and minimizes reflections, making it easy to observe the subject, monitor recorded images and view on-screen menus, even in bright sunlight.
Clean, Blur-Free Images
Triple anti-shake protection to prevent different types of camera shake: Pixel Track SR mode effectively compensates for camera shake during still-image shooting digitally without increasing image noise, Digital SR mode automatically raises the sensitivity up to ISO 6400 under poor-lighting conditions and the Movie SR mode prevents blurry images by effectively minimizing camera shake through the use of exclusive software.
Fast Face Detection
The Face Detection function detects up to 32 faces- even the faces of dogs and cats- in the image field, then catches them in sharp focus and in optimum exposure in as little as 0.03 seconds. The Self-portrait Assist function uses the blink of the LED lights to confirm whether the subject’s face is safely captured within the picture frame.
Auto Picture Mode
Auto Picture mode automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode from 16 different scene modes.
Digital Wide Mode
Digital Wide mode composes an extra-wide-angle picture (equivalent to approx. 21mm wide angle in the 35mm format) from two separate images.
