Thermometer. Pressure gauge. Protection: against shocks up to 100 kg, against drops from a height of up to 2.1 metres (according to Olympus tests), against moisture (at a depth of 15 metres - according to IEC publication 529 IPX8).

Unpretentious "working bee" from the category of all-terrain cameras. Judge for yourself, this chamber does not care about water procedures (with a maximum immersion depth of up to 15 m), falls from a two-metre height (more precisely 2.1 m), pressure on the body with a force of up to 100 kg. A durable double glass lens is reliably protected from fogging during sudden temperature changes.

Inside the “off-road” camera, a 12 MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor is installed. Photos on the Olympus TG-6 are taken in JPEG and RAW formats. Also protected compact supports video recording in 4K resolution at 30 fps. The camera's built-in optics have a 4x zoom range (25-100mm full frame equivalent) and aperture ranges from f/2.0 at the short end to f/4.9 at the telezoom end. It is proposed to sight in the process of “building” the frame according to the picture on a 3-inch fixed display. The model got a rich set of communications in the load — it has a Wi-Fi module, a GPS receiver, a pressure gauge, a barometer and a thermometer. On one battery charge, the protected compact is able to stay afloat until about 340 frames are shot.

Does a full frame make a difference? Is it worth buying a full-frame camera?Do I need to spend money on an expensive full frame or is it better to buy a cropped camera?..

Video reviews

The Olympus TOUGH series of rugged cameras is built to handle the toughest shooting conditions. Cameras of the family, in particular, the TG-6 model, do an excellent job of photographing and recording videos in a dust storm, under water and endure drops from a height of up to 2.1 m.

Armor-piercing characteristics

The shock-resistant characteristics of the armor-piercing camera are confirmed by tests according to the MIL-STD-810F method. The camera also withstands pressure on the body with a force of 100 kg and survives under water at a depth of up to 15 m. Together with the PT-059 underwater box, it can be submerged to 45 m. Another important feature of the model is frost resistance (up to -10 °C).

4x optical zoom

At the heart of the indestructible camera is a 12MP back-illuminated CMOS image sensor. It is supported by built-in optics with a fourfold optical zoom — the Olympus TG-6 lens shoots in the range of equivalent focal lengths of 25-100 mm. Moreover, in the wide-angle zoom position, it shows a high aperture of f / 2.0. Photos on the camera are saved in JPEG and RAW formats, which opens up more possibilities in post-processing of footage.

Software arsenal

The software arsenal of the model has several macro shooting modes with a focus distance of 1 cm, underwater photography and video recording in resolutions up to 4K with a frame rate of 30 fps and a bit rate of 100 Mbps. The Olympus TG-6 sensor system records location data, altitude and depth, air or water temperature. Wi-Fi and GPS wireless communications are also at the user's disposal. One battery charge of an "off-road" camera is enough to take about 340 shots. The model will perfectly prove itself at sea, on vacation and during outdoor activities.
