Description
The Olympus Tough TG-6 is the latest model in the Tough series with reliable Tough performance for shooting anytime and anywhere. It is waterproof to a depth of 15 metres, dustproof, shockproof to 2.1 metres, crushproof to 100kgf, freezeproof to -10°C and features a dual-pane protective glass construction for excellent anti-fogging performance. The Variable Macro System has been further improved for ultra-close-up shooting up to 1 cm from the subject even in P and A modes. Additionally, a new fisheye converter lens that supports circular fisheye photography has been added to a full line-up of other accessories for expanded shooting possibilities, making this truly the strongest field camera available.
Key Features:
Tough performance for shooting anytime: waterproof, dustproof, shockproof,
crushproof, freezeproof, and anti-fogging
Sealing throughout the entire camera body and double-lock construction on the camera
battery cover and other openings are designed to provide waterproof performance to a
depth of 15 metres for underwater shooting and excellent dustproof capabilities in
sandy and dusty locations. Its floating construction protects the inside of the camera,
clearing drop tests up to 2.1 meters, and the reinforced body withstands loads up to
100 kgf. This model is also freezeproof down to -10°C, and the lens features dual-pane
protective glass construction to reduce fogging for reliable shooting even in locations
with severe temperature differences.
High-quality images obtained through a combination of the f/2.0 lens, back-lit
CMOS sensor, and TruePic VIII image processor
This model is also equipped with a high-speed, high-performance f/2.0 zoom lens and
a hi-speed back-lit CMOS image sensor that has superb high-sensitivity performance.
Anti-reflective (AR) coating is used on both sides of the sealing glass for the image
sensor to reduce ghosts and flares. The TruePic VIII from the Olympus OM-D E-M1X
professional model is used on this model, reducing noise levels, and improving the
resolution in low contrast areas. RAW data can also be recorded and then edited to
look exactly the way users like using the Olympus Workspace image editing software.
Variable Macro System that goes beyond the limits of the eye with close-up
shooting capabilities up to 1 cm from the subject
Equipped with the Variable Macro System, this model is equipped with four shooting
modes, boasting a closest focusing distance up to 1 cm from the end of the lens and a
maximum shooting magnification of 7x8. This excellent close-up shooting performance
makes it possible to shoot high-quality images of the microscopic world that the human
eye cannot see. A closest focusing distance of 1 cm is possible for close-up shots even
in P and A modes for more flexible photography.
Microscope mode
With this mode, users can capture high-quality, detailed images of tiny subjects that are
difficult to see with the naked eye, such as the antennae and feet of insects, the veins
of a leaf on a tree, snowflakes, etc. A maximum shooting magnification of 7x is possible
when the optical zoom is set to the telephoto end and the subject is 1 cm away from
the end of the lens, delivering magnified shots, similar to using a microscope.
Microscope Control Mode
Users can switch display magnification ratios with the press of a single button similar to
switching microscope objective lenses for observing and photographing subjects at 1x,
2x, and 4x. When the subject is 1 cm from the end of the lens while using this mode,
the image on the rear LCD monitor can zoom in up to 44.4x.
Focus stacking mode
Focus stacking mode captures multiple shots while automatically shifting the focus from
the foreground to the background. Only the areas in focus are extracted and merged,
resulting in a full pixel photo with a deep depth of focus. This is particularly effective for
macro shooting when shots have a shallow depth of field and a narrow range of focus.
Between 3 and 10 shots can be set on the Tough TG-6 so users can fine tune settings
for different subjects and precision in the finished shot.
Focus bracketing mode
With a single shot, this function captures up to 30 images while shifting the focus from
the foreground to the background. Three levels of focal shift and number of shots can
be selected to perfectly match the subject and shooting conditions. This feature is
convenient for instantly setting the focal position when shooting flower petals and the
wings of insects, etc.
Full-featured underwater shooting modes and a new fisheye converter that
can function underwater**
To expand the possibilities of underwater shooting ever further, the 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 various situations. The popular
Underwater White Balance mode has been expanded to three options, providing
appropriate colour adjustment for deep water shooting. The new Fisheye Converter
FCON-T02, for circular fisheye photography, has been added to a versatile line-up of
accessories to further expand shooting possibilities.
Five Underwater modes
The Tough TG-6 is equipped with five underwater shooting modes optimized to match
various conditions.
Underwater Wide: Optimized for shooting in dim underwater conditions and capable of
shooting in deeper water.
Underwater Snapshot: Records subjects using the natural lighting in pools and other
shallow water for natural-looking photos.
Underwater Macro: Perfect for close-up shots of small subjects such as little fish.
Underwater Microscope: Captures even smaller subjects up to 1 cm from the end of the
lens.
Underwater HDR: Dramatically recreates the scene without losing details in dark areas.
Three underwater white balance modes
This model is equipped with three underwater white balance options for operability in
various shooting situations. When one of the above five underwater modes are selected
the optimal white balance is also set. White Balance can also be changed manually.
- Underwater: Shallow - Mainly for water up to approximately 3 meters deep to improve the red tones that tends to occur in shallow water.
- Underwater: Mid Range - Optimally tunes the colour for general use in water from 3 to 15 meters deep.
- Underwater: Deep - For use with the new Underwater Case PT-059 in water deeper than 15 meters, particularly for improving the blue tones in photos.
Fisheye Converter, FCON-T02 (New, sold separately)
The new Fisheye Converter FCON-T02 delivers both circular fisheye photography and
diagonal fisheye photography via zooming control. It can function even underwater for
zoomed-in shots. The Converter Adapter CLA-T01 (sold separately) is required to
attach this lens.
