Quad Proof Rugged Design
The HX-WA30 has advanced further with a considerable increase in
toughness. It is waterproof down to 10m / 33ft, shockproof up to
1.5m / 5ft, freezeproof down to -10°C / 14°F, and
dustproof. This makes shooting possible in harsh
environments.
Ergonomic Design with Free-angle
LCD This unique grip form minimizes shooting
fatigue. Shooting is stable
because you can easily hold the HX-WA30 with one hand.
Single-handed shooting also makes it easy to capture sudden
shooting opportunities. The HX-WA30 also features a 6.7 cm /
2.6-inch wide-screen LCD monitor with 7-level brightness
adjustment. It also rotates through approximately 285° so you
can easily position it at your preferred angle. This lets you keep
your subject clearly in view, whether you’re shooting high,
low, or at yourself.
High Image Quality
The sensitivity of the CMOS sensor has been improved by BSI
(Backside Illumination) sensor technology, so you can record clear
images even in dimly lit places - like indoors or at parties. The
High-Quality Image Engine enables both excellent image quality and
a compact body. Its image-processing algorithms and architecture
are designed for high-speed processing, signal processing systems
are optimized for noise reduction, and power consumption is
reduced.
