Overview
The TG-6 delivers Tough performance that is waterproof to 15 m, dustproof, shockproof to 2.1 m, crushproof to 100 kgf, freezeproof to -10℃, and anti-fogging. These features make for worry-free use in the harshest environments.
Features
Waterproof to 15 m
Sealing and a double-lock mechanism delivers waterproof performance up to depths of 15 m1. Not only does this make it possible to shoot in heavy rain, but it also lets you shoot while snorkelling.
- * Waterproof performance is JIS/IEC protection class 8 (IPX8).

Dustproof
The design features an airtight construction that shuts out sand and dust1. If your camera gets dirty, simply rinse with fresh water to wash off any excess dirt.
- * Dustproof performance is JIS/IEC protection class6 (IP6X).

Shockproof to 2.1m
Even with a large, bright f/2.0 lens, this model can still clear drop tests of up to 2.1m. Olympus know-how has been utilised in every facet, including the lens shape, lens positioning, and the lens drive method, resulting in a high level of shock-absorbing performance1.
- * Shockproof construction resistant to 2.1 m (MIL-STD-810F compliant)

Crushproof to 100 kgf
To protect all inner parts including the lens unit and circuit boards, an interior protective structure which can withstand a weight of 100kgf1 has been employed. With this crushproof construction, you won't have to worry about accidentally sitting on your camera when carrying it in your back pocket.

Freezeproof to -10℃
Operation at low temperatures is guaranteed down to -10℃1. With this feature, you can feel confident capturing your ski and snowboarding trips, and other winter adventures.

Anti-fog
The dual-pane protective glass helps prevent lens fogging in locations with sudden changes in temperature1.

LB-T01 Lens Barrier
- * Items can't be used simultaneously are: other accessories or conversion lens to be attacked to the mount, silicone jacket and underwater housing.
- * Macro LED illumination can't be used while the lens barrier is attached. (It causes shadows on the photo.)
