The Optio WS80 is waterproof/
dustproof, and the water resistant
coating on the lens protective
glass enables you to take
pictures underwater for two hours
at a depth of 1.5 meters (4.9 ft.).
It also allows the camera to be
sprayed by water, and you can
use the camera in locations
where it will be exposed to dust
and dirt such as beaches,
kitchens, and workshops.
Because it utilizes a lock
mechanism for the battery/card/
terminal cover, when the cover is
firmly locked, you can use the
camera underwater safely, with
the knowledge that the battery
and card are also secure.
