Reliable Tough Performance

The dual-pane protective glass is just one new addition to the other proven tough capabilities, you can keep shooting whatever nature throws at you. Extreme shifts in temperature can cause condensation on lenses. The TG-5 prevents this with a dual-pane protective glass, meaning you can keep shooting regardless. The TG-5 is built with Olympus’s unique and outstanding shock-absorption technology, making it robust enough to withstand a drop test from a height of 2.1 metres.

High Image Quality

The camera combines a fast and highly sensitive 12Mpx image sensor with the latest TruePic VIII image processor that delivers superior image quality with an extended dynamic range and shorter response times. Due to the latest scanning technology, the Olympus Tough can playfully handle the most challenging lighting conditions from the Arctic twilight to the undersea world.

Capture even more of the action

The TruePic VIII image processor lets you record high-resolution 4K videos or create fantastic slow motion shots in Full HD with a 120fps frame rate. See the dynamism in every single movement or record beautiful scenery in stunningly high definition. Save your images in the RAW format and use the included Olympus Viewer 3 software to finetune parameters such as exposure, contrast, white balance and colour balance.

4x Zoom Lens

Additionally, the new image sensor reduces noise in high ISO images that can be set up to a maximum of 12,800, so you can capture stunning images even with minimal lighting.

Ever wanted to shoot tiny subjects you can’t see with the naked eye in superb detail? The maximum 7x image magnification of the TG-5’s advanced, four-mode Variable Macro System (with Microscope, Microscope Control, Focus Bracketing and Focus Stacking Mode) makes this possible. In Microscope mode, the camera can capture subjects as close as 1cm. In Microscope Control mode the display magnification factor can be changed to a maximum of 44.4x with the zoom lever.
