It faithfully records breathtaking beauty and thrilling experiences in spectacular, vibrant movies.

High-quality movie recording at the astonishingly high bit rate of 100Mbps*

The WG-M2 records movies at the amazingly high rate of approximately 100 megabits per second. Recording movies at this average bit rate of approximately 100Mbps provides more image data to each frame, allowing you to produce beautiful, exciting and lively works of art.

* When the camera is set in 4K and S-Fine modes, and a micro SDXC (UHS-I Speed Class 3) memory card is used.

Heavy-duty body for underwater shooting without a housing

Despite its compact design, the WG-M2 is shockproof against a fall from two meters, freeze-proof against temperatures down to -10°C, and waterproof to a depth of 20 meters* without a housing. It also provides simplified operation and the recording of crystal-clear stereo sound.

*The underwater lens protector (included) must be mounted on the WG-M2 for underwater shooting.

• Waterproof performance equivalent to IPX8 or JIS Class 8; Dustproof performance equivalent to IP6X or JIS Class 6; Shockproof performance measured under RICOH IMAGING-original testing standards (from a height of two meters, onto a surface of 5cm-thick plywood), conforming to Method 516.5-Shock of the MIL-Standard 810F.
• Regarding the freeze-proof performance, the number of recordable movie files/still images may decrease as the temperature at a shooting location goes down.

1.5-inch LCD monitor

For effortless framing and on-the-spot confirmation of recorded movies. User-friendly interface for speedy setting of desired modes.

Vibration function to prevent unfortunate recording errors

The WG-M2 signals the start and end of movie recording by camera body vibrations, eliminating the worry of missed recording opportunities.

Movie SR function for blur-free recording of active scenes

The WG-M2’s Movie SR (Shake Reduction) function* minimizes camera shake when recording a movie on the move. It allows you to capture sharp, blur-free movies even under demanding, blur-prone conditions.

*This function is available only when the Narrow mode is selected during movie recording.

Crystal-clear sound

Thanks to its heavy-duty, housing-free design and wind suppression mode, the WG-M2 records crystal-clear sound even outdoors. It also records stereo sound to recreate the true-to-life ambience of memorable scenes.

Advanced metering system for unfailing image exposure

The WG-M2 provides the choice of metering systems: multi-segment or spot. When spot metering is selected, the camera’s AE (Auto Exposure) system is locked at the start of a shooting session to stabilize the exposure level throughout the recording, regardless of the fluctuations in the illumination level of surrounding areas.

Image Effect modes to add an artistic finish to your movies

The WG-M2 provides a range of creative Image Effect modes, such as Monochrome, Shading, Bleach Bypass, Bold Monochrome, and High Contrast.* Apply the desired visual effect to movie recording for greater flexibility of creative expression.
