Speed
A high-speed f/2.0 lens, previously unheard of in a rugged point and shoot, strengthens the camera's shooting capabilities, making faster shutter speeds possible. A 12-megapixel, backlit CMOS sensor combined with a fast, DSLR-quality image processor result in high-speed autofocus, rapid response rates and multi-burst capabilities.
Ultra Durable
Made for shooting in extreme conditions and able to withstand rough treatment, the TG-1 is called Tough for a reason. Completely waterproof to 40 feet, it's ideal for underwater photography or a day at the beach and shockproof to 6.6 feet, it drops, you don't worry. Freezeproof to 14º and, thanks to lightweight polycarbonate resin and two metal frames, it is crushproof to a weight of 220 pounds. The camera will work when and where you need it and not show up with a cracked screen when you pull it out of your backpack. Raindrops, water spray and snow are not a problem because the specially coated lens prevents water from remaining on the lens and OLED monitor. And thanks to a fine protective sealing, dust and debris stay out of the body. Double-lock durability means that the battery and SD card won't fall out when bumped. A multi-directional lock mechanism protects your camera from accidental openings, especially important when shooting underwater.
OLED Display
A bright 3.0" high resolution (610k dots) OLED monitor is visible in strong light, so framing and composition are made easier and because it's applied with a protective coating to further cut down on glare and prevent scratches, the monitor is as tough as the camera.
Video and Audio
With the TG-1 iHS, you can shoot 1080p Full HD videos (1920x1080 pixels). Thanks to iHS technology, your videos will benefit from excellent color reproduction and faster processing speeds, and Multi-Motion Image Stabilization compensates for movement during recording. Linear PCM Recording, an audio technology pioneered by Olympus, records your videos with high-definition audio for optimal playback results. HDMI output and control makes playing back videos on your HDTV a snap.
Super Sport Mode
Super Sport Mode combines high-speed autofocus with extra fast shutter speeds -up to 1/2000- to freeze the action. Conveniently located on the dial, this mode captures five shots in a high-speed burst to ensure crisp shots in even the most extreme action sport settings.
Low Light Mode
Low light mode is perfect for capturing the mood without losing the details. Confidently photograph low-light indoor scenes, sunsets, concerts, or nighttime festivities without blurred-out faces or bright flash ruining the ambience.
Enhanced Intelligent Auto Mode
In iAuto mode, the Olympus TG-1 iHS automatically detects the subject, lighting and situation to identify the scene you're shooting - up to 30 different scenes - and adjusts the settings for ideal results.
Converter Lens Compatibility
A converter ring allows you to add a lens converter adapter, and with that, a waterproof Fisheye Converter Lens or a Teleconverter Lens. The Fisheye Converter Lens captures panoramic, wide-angle shots without sacrificing the brightness of the 4x wide optical zoom f/2.0 lens. The Teleconverter Lens extends your optical zoom from 4x to 6.8x, delivering dramatic close-ups with professional-looking details.
GPS, e.compass and Manometer Functions
Location and landmark information will be displayed and recorded along with every image. The camera is also equipped with a logging function so you can track the route taken with recorded images by using applications such as Google Earth and Picasa. The built-in manometer records elevation & water depth and even displays a warning when the user approaches a depth of 40ft.
High-Speed Sequential Shooting
With 5fps high-speed burst shooting, you'll be sure to get the perfect shot by taking a quick sequence of images at the touch of a button. At 3MP setting, the frame rate increases to an astounding 60 shots per second! Never miss an action shot again.
Underwater Features
The Olympus TG-1 has 4 different underwater scene modes - Underwater Snapshot, Underwater Wide 1, Underwater Wide 2 and Underwater Macro - each calibrated to allow for optimal colour balance, exposure and flash so you automatically get the best underwater results. Dive to depths of 135 feet (45m) with the new Olympus PT-053 underwater housing (sold separately), designed specifically for the TG-1 iHS. With a large, responsive shutter button, precision zoom lever and a tight O-ring seal with safety lock, the PT-053 allows divers, from beginner to master, to capture worry-free images of unique underwater scenes.
