It is also very waterproof even without an additional casing, unlike the others. The camera is equipped with a 16mm f2.8 fog-free lens, which offers a 160-degree angle of view. But users get an option to make it tighter, with a 140 or 150 degree angle. The camera uses a Sony-made 12-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, which is augmented by a powerful image processor.
