Olympus Tough TG-6

The Olympus TG-6 is the new flagship of the Tough series. No matter what the weather, no matter how inhospitable the surroundings, the TG-6 can't be disturbed by anything, even if it falls down.

This rugged compact is ready for use in any situation, supporting outdoor fans with a reliable field sensor system and top image quality thanks to numerous enhancements and new functions: These include, for example, new underwater modes, more versatile macro options and a new display with optimized resolution.

The Tough TG-6 is a handy and reliable partner even in harsh environments: It is waterproof to a depth of 15 m, dustproof, shockproof to 2.1 m, unbreakable to 100 kg and frostproof to -10 °C and has a double protective glass construction so that the lens does not fog up1. A new attachable lens cover (LB-T01) prevents scratches and the underwater housing (PT-059) allows recording at depths up to 45 m (both products sold separately). Thanks to the Olympus field sensor system, always with data such as location, altitude/depth and air/water temperature.

The leading 25-100mm zoom lens in this camera class3 with F22 speed delivers fantastic photos and videos. In combination with the backlit CMOS image sensor and the TruePic VIII image processor. The image sensor provides excellent performance at high sensitivity, and the image processor, which is also used in the OM-D E-M1X, reduces noise and improves resolution in low contrast areas. The new digital tele-converter practically doubles the zoom performance to up to 8x. The anti-reflective coating (AR) on the sensor protection glass reduces ghost and stray light effects. Everyone who wants to edit their pictures will be happy about the possibility to also record RAW data.

The Tough TG-6 is equipped with a variable macro system that transcends the limits of what the human eye can see: With a distance of only 1 cm from the end of the lens and a maximum magnification of 7x, the camera enables spectacular macro shots. The system offers four modes: microscopy, microscope control mode, focus bracketing and focus stacking. With Focus Stacking, users can now determine the number of frames. You can choose between 3 and 10 shots.

The TG-6 is equipped with five modes for underwater photography: Underwater Wide Angle, Underwater Snapshot, Underwater Marko, Underwater HDR and the new Underwater Microscope mode. The proven underwater white balance has been extended to three options and offers optimal color matching for images at greater depths.
