Camera Overview — Ricoh WG-4

The Ricoh WG-4 is a rugged point-and-shoot camera built for outdoor and adventure use. Housed in a rugged plastic body measuring 124 x 64 x 33 mm and weighing 230g, it carries a water resistant rating that makes it a practical choice for wet or demanding environments. At its core is a 1/2.3-inch sensor delivering 16MP resolution, with a maximum output of 4608x3456 pixels.

The ISO range runs from 125 to 6400, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system, and the camera supports burst mode for capturing fast-moving subjects. On the video side, the WG-4 records up to 1080p at 30fps, with 720p available at 60fps — solid options for documenting action in the field.

Image stabilization is provided digitally via Electronic IS. The 3.0-inch LCD display with 460,000 dots resolution serves as the primary framing tool, as there is no viewfinder. Storage uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and connectivity includes USB.

A built-in flash is included. Without Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, file transfer relies on the physical USB connection or direct card removal.
