Olympus Tough TG-6 Compact Digital Camera - Red
Overview
The Ultimate Partner to Capture and Withstand the Most Punishing
Environments
Whether it be in the mountains, on the beach, or in the snow, the Olympus
Tough series can withstand the most punishing environments, to deliver the
highest image quality. The TG-6 is the pinnacle of the Tough series, featuring
the popular Variable Macro System, enhanced underwater shooting modes, and
further system expandability with a new fisheye converter for circular fisheye
photography. This camera has evolved to deliver a wider range of expressive
power than ever before in any kind of environment.
Tough performance for shooting anytime,
anywhere
The TG-6 delivers Tough performance that is waterproof to 15 m, dustproof,
shockproof to 2.1 m, crushproof to 100 kgf, freezeproof to -10, and
anti-fogging. These features make for worry-free use in the harshest
environments.
High image quality for improved detail
The bright f/2.0 high-resolution lens delivers high image quality thanks to a
combination of the high-speed back-lit CMOS sensor and the latest image
processor.
Amazing Variable Macro System
The Amazing Variable Macro System consists of four macro shooting modes and
two separately available accessories for macro shooting. This system makes it
possible to capture amazing photos of the tiniest details.
Advanced underwater shooting
The dedicated underwater mode for capturing high quality images underwater is
now more advanced than ever. Accessories that support underwater photography are
also enhanced with the addition of a fisheye converter lens for circular fisheye
photography.
Superb system expandability
The TG-6 features superb system expandability with a wealth of accessories
including those for macro shooting and converter lenses. This design also
delivers the control required in punishing environments.
