Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS Waterproof Camera
PRO IMAGE QUALITY FROM
A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE

WORLDS FIRST F2.0 HIGH-SPEED
LENS ON A TOUGH CAMERA
The newest Tough model draws on Olympus extensive history of creating rugged, durable cameras that take the worry out of life-on-the-go shooting. This revolutionary TOUGH model introduces the Worlds First Ultra-Bright, High-Speed f2.0 lens on a Tough camera allowing you to capture dramatically better images in low-light and fast action situations than any other rugged model currently on the market*. The combination of durability and outstanding image quality makes it possible to shoot in even the harshest of conditions. Just imagine: capture beautiful underwater scenes and aquatic life, snap photos of triumphant arrivals to dusk-lit peaks, record your ride down the rapids in dazzling 1080p Full HD Video. The possibilities are truly endless.

SUPERIOR OPTICS

HIGH-SPEED, ULTRA-BRIGHT F2.0 LENS
The TG-1 iHS is the worlds first rugged camera on the market* to include an ultra-bright, high-speed f2.0 lens so you can capture scenes that were previously impossible with a point & shoot. This new lens strengthens the cameras shooting capabilities making high-quality images and blazing fast shutter speeds possible even when a flash cannot be used or when shooting fast action or in low light.

3.0 OLED MONITOR
This 3.0, high-resolution OLED display (610K dots) provides excellent visibility outdoors enabling you to compose the perfect shot even in direct sunlight. And several protective coatings help to prevent scratches and cut down on reflective glare from bright lights and sun. Awesome optics, both in camera and on screen.

UNMATCHED RUGGED DURABILITY

THE PROOF IS IN THE BUILD.
WATERPROOF TO 40FT.
The TG-1 iHS crushes the notion that cameras are easily damaged by water and humidity. The Olympus-original complete sealing system and double lock construction borrowed from Olympus long history of manufacturing underwater housings ensures that the TG-1 iHS is completely waterproof down to a new depth of 40ft. Even on land, the TG-1 iHS ensures that youll never miss an awesome shot just because of heavy rain or snow.

SHOCKPROOF TO 6.6FT.
The shockproof structure of the TG-1 iHS ensures that your investment is protected. Carefully sandwiched between two protective frames, the lens and camera unit remain unfazed by bumps, drops, falls and other impacts. Even after repeated drops, critical camera components and functions like the lens, shutter, aperture and auto-focus remain safe. Drop, pick up, and keep on shooting.

CRUSHPROOF TO 220LBF.
The TG-1 iHS uses a double-layer construction, consisting of a tough yet lightweight polycarbonate resin and a metal frame. The crushproof construction ensures that your camera and screen! wont break, even under 220lbs of pressure. No more cracked screens because youve left your camera in your back pocket or suitcase.

FREEZEPROOF TO 14F
Keep shooting outdoors even in the winter. The TG-1 iHS is designed to keep operating at below freezing temperatures, safe from the two most common problems when shooting in cold weather: lens condensation and auto zoom malfunction. Hit the slopes, fire up your snowmobile, or break out the skates, because with the TG-1 iHS by your side, youll never miss those awesome wipe out moments.

DUSTPROOF
Life gets dirty. Between dusty fields and muddy trails, sometimes your camera doesnt stay as pristine as youd like it to. But even in less-than-spotless environments, the fine protective sealing of the TG-1 iHS helps keep out dirt and debris allowing you to capture shot after shot even in the harshest environments.

WATER-REPELLENT LENS COATING
Splash after splash, never worry about water droplets obstructing your images thanks to the water-repellent lens coating that prevents water from remaining on the lens surface. And because its applied to the OLED monitor as well, composing shots in the rain or while riding the waves will be a breeze.

DOUBLE-LOCK DURABILITY
With all the care that is put in to protecting the inner workings of your camera, it would be a shame for the system to fail because the battery door opens unintentionally. Thanks to the multi-directional, double-lock mechanism, your camera is protected from accidental openings under water.

Beautiful underwater photos made simpler.

LED ILLUMINATOR
An LED Illuminator is like a mini-flashlight on the front of the camera to enhance focus and exposure for macro shooting great for underwater close-ups where light is scarce. The LED illuminator also works in conjunction with the flash to help illuminate your subject in low-light conditions.
