1. The high-speed f/2.0*2 lens, new high-speed back-lit CMOS image sensor, and the latest high-speed TruePic VIII image processor deliver high-quality imagesA synergy between the lens, image sensor, and image processor results in improved high-quality images.

i. High-speed back-lit CMOS image sensor and the latest TruePic VIII image processor

The TG-5 features a high-speed f/2.0*2 lens, a newly developed fast, high-sensitivity high-speed back-lit CMOS image sensor and the latest TruePic VIII image processor used on the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II flagship model. Noise level has been reduced by one step for improved shooting in the standard ISO sensitivity range as well as for shooting in darker environments, providing even higher image quality. The high-speed image processor enables more complex calculations, improving resolution in low contrast sections, especially when shooting at low ISO sensitivities. A new maximum ISO sensitivity of 12800 and RAW recording is also available, covering a wide range of shooting needs.

ii. High-performance, high speed f/2.0 lens at wide-angle settings*2, and focal length coverage from 25mm*10 to 100mm*10

The high-speed lens enables the ability to select a faster shutter speed when shooting underwater or other difficult shooting conditions to capture moving subjects with minimal blurring. Superb Olympus optical technology is incorporated into the lens, including DSA (Dual Super Aspherical), HD (High Refractive/High Dispersion), and HR (High Refractive Index) lenses to enable high-quality images while reducing aberrations across the entire zoom range.

2. The Field Sensor System*1 adds tracking information to images for reliving the shooting experience

The Field Sensor System integrates a number of sensors that are used to display tracking information on the camera or on a smartphone along with recorded images in the Olympus Image Track (OI.Track) app. Sensors include GPS*11, manometer, temperature, and shooting direction, to record tracking information simultaneously with images. Users can simply press the INFO button even when the camera is off to display current acquired data. Use the OI.Track Version 2.2 smartphone app to simultaneously display images and tracking information, letting you relive the shooting experience.

i. Field Sensor System

GPS*11

In addition to GPS, longitude and latitude are calculated from GLONASS and QZSS satellite signals for higher precision positioning. The Assist GPS*11 function significantly reduces the amount of time required from the start of positioning until information is acquired.

  • Manometer

Altitude and water depth are calculated based on atmospheric pressure and water pressure information.

  • Temperature Sensor*12

This measures air and water temperature, and is designed to minimize the effects of heat generated within the camera.

  • Compass

This measures the direction the camera lens is pointed in.

ii. Olympus Olympus Image Track Version 2.2,

Smartphone app Linking the camera and smartphone enables simultaneous display of images and tracking information, delivering a rich way to relive the shooting experience. Overlay editing can be used to post images with embedded tracking information to social media. Resizing of images and streaming playback are also available.

3. Reliable Tough performance: Waterproof down to depths of 15 m*3, dustproof*4, shockproof to 2.1 m*5 , crushproof to 100 kgf*6, freezeproof down to -10°C*7, including new anti-fog*8 capability

A hermetically sealed body construction provides waterproof performance down to depths of 15 m for worry-free shooting underwater. This hermetic sealing construction also provides superb dustproof performance so you can feel comfortable using the camera on the beach or in dusty mountainous areas. The TG-5's excellent shockproof performance is made possible by adopting a floating mechanism. The main parts in the body float so that the camera clears drop tests up to 2.1 m, and is strong enough to withstand loads up to 100 kgf. Operation is guaranteed down to -10°C, making it possible to use in freezing temperatures where other digital devices struggle to function optimally. In addition to these features, the Olympus Tough TG-5 features a dual-pane protective glass construction inside the lens, preventing condensation caused by significant temperature differences.

4. Movie shooting functions including 4K Movie and Full HD, 120 fps High-speed Movie*9

With 4K Movie it is now possible to shoot at four times the resolution of Full HD. This feature makes it possible to record beautiful scenery in even higher definition. High-speed Movie is included for recording Full HD movies at 120 fps to enable split second capture of moments usually impossible to see with normal vision in high quality and playback in slow motion.

OTHER FEATURES

1. Variable Macro System for recording microscopic subjects

The Olympus Tough TG-5 is equipped with four macro modes with a maximum shooting magnification of 7x*10 for capturing microscopic subjects that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Accessories such as the LED Light Guide LG-1 *13 and Flash Diffuser FD-1 *14 expand shooting possibilities. It is also possible to connect the camera to a large-screen monitor via HDMI to observe tiny subjects in high-quality images.

i. Microscope mode

This mode enables close-up shooting from up to 1 cm away from the end of the lens with full functionality of the optical zoom. This feature is perfect for shooting parts of an insect, the veins in a leaf, snowflake crystals, and other details of the natural world that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

ii. Microscope control mode

This mode uses the rear LCD monitor to magnify and display microscopic subjects. For example, you can magnify a subject that is only 1 mm in size up to a maximum of approximately 44.4 mm when displayed on the rear LCD monitor. You can also check the display magnification on the LCD monitor when the subject is 1 cm away from the end of the lens. In addition to switching the magnification factor with the zoom lever, the arrow pad can also be used to switch between 1x, 2x, and 4x with the press of a single button as if changing the objective lens on a real microscope.

iii. Focus stacking mode*15

Traditionally, depth of field becomes extremely shallow during macro shooting. Focus stacking mode, however captures eight shots continuously whilst shifting the focus from the foreground to the background. Only the areas in focus are extracted and merged so that a full pixel (12 million pixel*16 equivalent) photo with a deep depth of field is achieved. This function allows for simple archival quality image capture.

v. Focus bracketing mode

With a single shot, this function captures up to 30 images while shifting the focus from the foreground to the background. You can select the shift amount and number of shots in three levels. This mode is convenient for focusing on low contrast subjects such as flower petals that consist of a single colour only.

2. HDMI connection for viewing high-quality images on a large screen

The HDMI connection makes it possible to view images (live view image) in 4K resolution on a large screen. With the LED Light Guide, LG-1 *13, it makes it possible to observe a subject on a flat surface with the camera covering the subject.

3. Superb controls for smooth shooting even in tough situations

The grip shape and thickness were fine tuned to provide a better grip on the camera. This new design makes it possible to smoothly operate the controls even in difficult outdoor environments, even while wearing gloves. A new control dial is included, making it easy to adjust shooting settings such as exposure compensation. An accessory lock button is equipped on the front of the camera to prevent attached system accessories from falling off the camera, such as converter lenses and the LED Light Guide LG-1 *13. Movie Mode is now selectable on the mode dial. A variety of shooting settings can be registered to two Custom Modes for instant use. These features all combine to make the TG-5 an easy camera to use outdoors in all conditions.
