About the Olympus Tough TG-7 Compact Camera
The Olympus Tough TG-7 is a go-anywhere compact camera designed for harsh conditions. It is waterproof to 15m, shockproof from 2.1m, crushproof to 100kgf, freezeproof to -10°C and dustproof, so it works where phones and ordinary cameras cannot. The bright f/2.0 wide-angle zoom lens and back-illuminated CMOS sensor help with low-light shooting, while the variable macro system lets you focus as close as 1cm for microscope-style shots. It records 4K video and supports RAW capture, and the optional LB-T01 lens barrier doubles as a protective front cover. Controls are designed for use with gloves, making it a practical choice for diving, hiking, skiing and travel.
