20MP BSI CMOS Sensor | 4K Video and Movie SR+

The WG-8 provides sharp 20MP images with low-noise up to a sensitivity of ISO 6400 by utilizing a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor. 4K-resolution movie recording in H.264 format is available, allowing you to capture high-quality extended movie clips at 30fps. In addition to Movie Shake Reduction mode, Movie SR+ mode generates shake-reduction comparable to using a gimbal.

5x Optical Zoom Lens and LED Ring Light

The 5x optical zoom lens provides an angle of view of 5mm to 25mm, which is equivalent to a full-frame view of approximately 28mm to 140mm. A minimum focusing distance of 1cm allows for ultra-close macro photography.

Surrounding the lens barrel is a six-LED ring light, so you can capture clearer, sharper images in low-light conditions. The strength of the light emitted can be adjusted.
