Camera Overview — Ricoh WG-6

The Ricoh WG-6 is a rugged point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 20MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor with a crop factor of 5.6x. It delivers a maximum still resolution of 5184x3888 pixels and an ISO range of 125 to 6400, giving shooters a reasonable spread of sensitivity for varied lighting conditions. On the video side, the WG-6 captures 4K footage at 30p, making it a capable option for documenting adventures in motion as well as stills.

The camera's body is weather sealed, and its compact dimensions of 118.2 x 65.5 x 33.1mm and 246g weight make it genuinely portable for field use. The 3.0-inch fixed LCD display resolves at 1,040,000 dots, providing a clear framing and review surface. There is no viewfinder, so all composition is handled through the rear screen.

Autofocus covers six modes — Standard, Macro, 1cm Macro, Infinity-landscape, Pan Focus, and Manual Focus — with a 9-point focus system, giving shooters meaningful control over focus behavior across different subject distances. The camera includes a built-in flash and supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. Image stabilization is handled digitally.

The Ricoh DB-110 rechargeable Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 340 shots per charge. A high-speed burst mode of 30fps rounds out the still imaging capabilities.
