Olympus expands rugged and underwater shooting capabilities
with the new Olympus Tough TG-6, a compact digital camera with reliable Tough performance for
shooting anytime and anywhere. It features a blazing fast, wide-angle f/2.01 lens, back-lit high-speed
CMOS sensor and powerful TruePicTM VIII image processor, providing the ability to capture stills and
video with brilliant color and stunning detail. The Tough TG-6 is waterproof to a depth of 50 feet (15m)2,
dustproof3, shockproof to 7 feet (2.4m)4, crushproof to 100 kgf5, freezeproof to 14oF (-10°C)6, and features
a dual-pane protective glass construction for superb anti-fogging performance. Its Variable Macro System

goes beyond the limits of the eye with ultra-close-up shooting up to 1cm from the front of the lens7. Full-
featured underwater shooting modes and a new fisheye converter lens that supports circular fisheye
photography are available for the Tough TG-6, along with a full lineup of other accessories for expanded
shooting possibilities, making this truly the strongest field camera available.

Tough Performance for Shooting Anytime
Sealing throughout the entire camera body and double-lock construction on the camera battery cover are
designed to provide waterproof performance to a depth of 50 feet for underwater shooting and excellent
dustproof capabilities for use in dirty and dusty locations. Its floating construction protects the inside of the
camera, clearing drop tests up to seven feet, and the reinforced body withstands loads up to 100 kgf. The
Tough TG-6 is also freezeproof down to 14oF, and the nitrogen-filled, hermetically sealed dual-pane
protective glass construction prevents condensation and fogging for reliable shooting even in locations
with severe temperature fluctuations.
High-Quality Images

The Olympus Tough TG-6 is equipped with a high resolution, high-speed f/2.0 zoom lens and a high-
speed back-lit CMOS image sensor, offering excellent high-sensitivity performance and allowing you to

capture bright, richly detailed images in low-light settings, ideal for shooting fast moving subjects. Anti-
reflective (AR) coating incorporated in the image sensors sealing glass minimizes ghosting and flares.

The TruePicTM VIII image processor, found in the award-winning Olympus OM-D E-M1X® professional
model, is featured on this model, reducing noise levels and improving resolution in low contrast areas.
RAW data can be recorded and then edited in post-production using the Olympus Workspace image
editing software.

Variable Macro System
Conquer macro photography and creatively capture intricate detail using any of the four shooting modes,
opening a new world of macro shooting. This close-up shooting performance allows high-quality image
capture of the microscopic world that the human eye cannot see. A closest focusing distance of 1cm is
possible for close-up shots even in Program and Aperture modes for more flexible photography.

The LED Light Guide, LG-1 (sold separately) uses the LED on the front of the camera to evenly illuminate
the subject while the image is being taken. The LG-1 also assists with composing the image, acting as a
constant light source to illuminate the subject.

The Flash Diffuser FD-1 (sold separately) uses the in-camera flash to illuminate the subject, offering a
significant increase in the amount of light. This increase in light allows for usage of lower ISO settings and
faster shutter speeds, as well as an increased working distance. The FD-1 can also be utilized under
water.

Microscope Mode
With Microscope 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 7x8 is possible when the optical zoom is set to the
telephoto end and the subject is 1 cm away from the front of the lens, delivering magnified shots similar to
using a microscope.

Microscope Control Mode
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 front of the lens while using this mode, the image on the rear LCD monitor can zoom in up to
44.4x.

Focus Stacking Mode9
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 their finished image.

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 or the wings of insects, etc.

Dive Deep Into Underwater Photography
To expand the possibilities of underwater shooting ever further, the Tough TG-6 is equipped with five
underwater shooting modes optimized for various situations, allowing the user to capture sharp, colorful
underwater photos at all depths. The popular Underwater White Balance mode now offers three options,
providing appropriate color adjustment for deep water shooting. The new Fisheye Converter FCON-T02
(sold separately), for circular fisheye photography is now available, offering a versatile lineup of
accessories to further expand shooting creativity.

Five Underwater Modes
• 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 front of the lens.
• Underwater HDR: Dramatically recreates the scene without losing details in dark areas.
Three Underwater White Balance Modes10
• Underwater Shallow: Recommended for use in water depths up to approximately 10 feet deep to
improve the red tones that tend to occur in shallow water.
• Underwater Mid-Range: Optimally tunes the color for general use in water from 10-50 feet deep.
• Underwater Deep: For use with the new Underwater Case PT-059 (sold separately) in water
deeper than 50 feet, particularly for improving the blue tones in photos.
Fisheye Converter, FCON-T02
The new Fisheye Converter FCON-T02 (sold separately) 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. FCON-T02 is only
compatible with the Tough TG-6.

Advanced Video Functions
The Olympus Tough TG-6 is equipped with Ultra HD 4K Movie, ideal for recording beautiful scenery in
amazing detail. Full HD 120fps High-Speed Movie is also included to capture high quality split-second
moments with playback in stunning slow motion.
