Waterproof to 1.5 Meters, So You Can Take Stills and Videos in the Wet The Xacti CA8’s waterproof design conforms to JIS Level 8* (equivalent to IPX8). This means you can enjoy shooting at the beach, by the pool, or on the ski slopes without worrying about submerging the camera or getting it wet from rain or snow. You'll have even more fun recording action that would be impossible to capture with a regular camera. Note: • Do not immerse in water at a depth greater than 1.5 m (4.92 ft.). • Do not immerse in water for longer than 60 minutes. After 60 minutes of use in water, allow to dry for at least 10 minutes. • Do not immerse in water that is warmer than 40°C (104°F). • Do not open and close the battery/card compartment cover with wet hands. JIS IPX8 specifies that a device is protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water. Compact, Lightweight, and Active Design for One-Handed Picture-Taking Measuring just 70.4 x 111.4 x 40.5 mm (W x H x D) and weighing in at 239 g (body only), the CA8 is easy to carry anywhere, so you can take pictures on a whim anytime. As it’s both portable and waterproof, this digital video camera opens up more shooting opportunities than ever before. The sleek and colorful form is designed to match your active lifestyle. And the vertical “pistol-grip” design enables comfortable one-handed shooting without the wrist fatigue and shaking you get from conventional designs.

8M CMOS Sensor for High-Quality Stills and Videos Using high-resolution, high-sensitivity, and low-noise technologies, the CA8 can record both stills and videos in high resolution, right down to the smallest detail. Compared to earlier image sensors, each pixel has a larger area, which greatly enhances light reception performance. This improvement enables high-resolution shots and seamless recording with little noise. A wider dynamic range is also available for more natural, richer tones. 8M still shots can be taken with a high degree of sensitivity.
