Tough performance
The TG-6 is waterproof to a depth of 15m, dustproof, shockproof to 2.1m, crushproof up to 100kg, freezeproof to -10°C, and features a dual-pane protective glass construction for excellent anti-fogging performance. The Olympus field sensor system makes it possible to record log data such as location, altitude/depth as well as air/water temperature while capturing still images or movies.
Underwater shooting modes
Tough TG-6 is equipped with five underwater modes, including Underwater Wide, Underwater Snapshot, Underwater Macro, Underwater Microscope, and Underwater HDR. Each mode switches to shooting settings optimized for different situations. The popular Underwater White Balance mode has been expanded to three options, providing appropriate colour adjustment for deep water shooting.
Image quality
Equipped with 12MP hi-speed back-lit CMOS image sensor that has superb high-sensitivity performance, the TG-6 allows its users to take fantastic photos and video. Anti-reflective (AR) coating on the image sensor glass now reduces ghosts and flares while the TruePic VIII image processor from the OM-D E-M1X professional model helps to reduce noise levels and improves the resolution in low contrast areas. The option to capture RAW data enables TG-6 users versatile editing options with Olympus Workspace or other image editing software supporting TG-6 RAW files.
TruePic VIII image processor
The TG-6 features the latest TruePic VIII image processor taken from the Olympus Pro flagship system camera, the OM-D E-M1 Mark II. Its improved image processing algorithm is even more powerful, delivering higher image resolution in low-contrast areas, especially when shooting at low ISO sensitivity.
High quality lens and 4x Optical Zoom
The TG-6 boasts an F2 lens that provides just the right amount of light for your shot. In combination with the 4x optical zoom that lets you shoot both wide-angle settings and zoomed-in shots of faraway objects.
1cm close-up shooting capabilities
For spectacular close-up shots, the Tough TG-6 has an advanced Variable Macro system that goes beyond the limits of what the human eye can see: boasting a closest focusing distance up to 1cm from the end of the lens and a maximum shooting magnification of 7×3, the camera captures high-quality images of microscopic worlds. The macro system features four modes: Microscope, Microscope Control, Focus Bracketing and Focus Stacking. In Focus Stacking mode, users can now set between 3 and 10 shots for more versatility and to fine tune settings for different subjects and more precision in the finished shot.
RAW Recording
You can create the ideal image in post-production. Even when you’re out and about, you can edit images in-camera. To get the ultimate image, use your images shot in the RAW format in the Olympus Workspace Software to fine-tune parameters such as exposure, contrast, white balance and colour balance.
