Waterproof up to 15m, freezeproof down to -10°C, and extraordinary
shockproof capabilities. Unmatched Tough performance for photography
anytime, anywhere.
The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 features meticulously sealed construction
throughout the entire camera body, complemented by a dual-lock mechanism
on crucial openings, like the battery cover. This exceptional
engineering guarantees waterproof performance for underwater shooting to
depths of 15m and powerful dustproof performance safeguarding the camera
from sand and dust particles. With powerful freezeproof performance down
to -10°C and dual-pane protective glass on the front lens for
anti-fogging, photographers can confidently venture into extreme
temperature variations, such as skiing in outdoor winter conditions.
This Tough camera is also equipped with shockproof construction, capable
of withstanding falls from heights of up to 2.1m, and crushproof
resilience up to 100 kgf, making it the ultimate companion for
challenging shooting environments like mountains. Its compact and
lightweight build, combined with unbeatable Tough performance, fulfills
the demands for adventure photography. The non-slip grip ensures a
secure hold, even in wet conditions.
Equipped with a brilliant, F2.0 high-speed zoom lens and RAW
recording for versatile creative possibilities.
This model boasts a 4x optical zoom lens with a bright, high-speed,
maximum F2.0 2 aperture at the wide-angle end. The bright F2.0 aperture
allows for the usage of fast shutter speeds, reducing subject blur even
when capturing fast-moving subjects. To achieve such extraordinary lens
performance, advanced optical technologies were incorporated, including
a DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) Lens. The image sensor is equipped with a
high-speed back-lit CMOS image sensor with exceptional sensitivity
performance, complemented by AR (anti-reflective) coating on both sides
of the sealing glass, to suppress ghosting and flaring. Additionally, it
uses the TruePic VIII image processing engine found in our
interchangeable lens cameras, resulting in exceptional image quality.
The camera fully supports RAW recording with in-camera RAW processing
and RAW image editing and processing on a computer using our free OM
Workspace software, granting photographers limitless possibilities in
their creative vision.
Variable Macro System that transcends human visual limits with
close-up capabilities as close as 1cm from the edge of the lens.
This model excels in close-up photography, offering an impressive
shooting range as close as 1cm from the lens’s edge and a maximum image
magnification of 7x (35mm equivalent). Alongside the Microscope Mode,
Microscope Control Mode, Focus Stacking Mode, and Focus Bracketing Mode,
the Variable Macro System expands the boundaries of macro shooting by
providing two optional accessories that unlock even more possibilities.
With these capabilities, photographers can capture vivid images of
minute subjects that go beyond the limitations of the human eye.
Microscope Mode
Enabling subjects to be photographed as close as 1cm from the lens’s
edge away from the end of the lens and achieving a maximum image
magnification of 7x (35mm equivalent) when setting the optical zoom to
the telephoto end, this camera offers a magnified shooting experience
reminiscent of using a microscope.
Microscope Control Mode
In this mode, users can effortlessly switch between 1x, 2x, and 4x
magnifications with the single touch of a button, mimicking the
experience of using a microscope to observe and photograph subjects. The
rear LCD monitor allows for subject magnification of up to 44.4x.
Focus Stacking Mode
By shifting the focus position while capturing multiple shots, this mode
selectively extracts and merges only the areas in focus, resulting in a
single image with an extensive depth of field. It is the perfect feature
for macro shooting scenarios with shallow depth of field and limited
focus areas. Users can select the number of shots, ranging from 3 to 10,
providing precise control over the desired outcome.
Focus Bracketing Mode
This mode alters the focus position while capturing up to 30 shots,
offering three levels each for focus shift and number of shots, tailored
to the subject and shooting conditions. It is particularly useful for
quickly focusing on challenging subjects like flower petals and insect
wings. Images captured in this mode can also be edited with OM Workspace
to create a single image, simulating the effect of Focus Stacking Mode.
Supports diverse underwater shooting styles with five shooting modes
and waterproof performance down to 45m when paired with the PT-059
Underwater Housing.
This model delivers exceptional waterproof performance up to a depth of
15m, making it the ideal companion for aquatic activities such as
snorkeling and riverside fun. When paired with the PT-059 Underwater
Housing (sold separately), it enables underwater photography at depths
of up to 45m. The PT-059 can accommodate two external flash units,
creating a compact yet comprehensive multi-unit flash system for
stunning underwater flash photography. Five underwater shooting modes
optimise settings for various scenes: Underwater Wide, Underwater
Snapshot, Underwater Macro, Underwater Microscope, and Underwater HDR.
Additionally, the Underwater: Shallow, Underwater: Mid-Range, and
Underwater: Deep white balance modes automatically adjust based on the
underwater shooting mode, but manual adjustments are also possible.
Other features
- Full lineup of optional accessories for system expansion
- Built in GPS, air pressure, shooting direction, and temperature
sensors. This model is equipped with a Field Sensor System that
automatically acquires location information (latitude and longitude),
temperature, water temperature, altitude (water depth), and shooting
direction tracking data while traveling. Load this information into the
OM Image Share (OI.Share) smartphone app to link and display the route
traveled along with the altitude (water depth) in recorded images.
- Vertical video is also supported on this model, so videos recorded in
vertical orientation on the camera are saved as vertical video files,
making them easy to post on social media, etc. without the need for any
editing software.
- Pro Capture Mode begins recording from 0.5 seconds before the full
shutter press and continues sequential shooting at 10 fps, making it
convenient for capturing shots that are difficult to time, such as
flying insects and a milk drop coronet.
- Interval Shooting supports up to 299 shots. After shooting is
complete, a Time Lapse Movie is automatically generated. In interval
shooting, users can set shooting interval priority and exposure
equalisation processing to deal with sudden changes in exposure between
frames.
- Equipped with a USB Type-C terminal, the battery can be charged in the
camera body.
- The RM-WR1 Wireless Remote Control (sold separately) enables remote
shooting and features IP57 protection class dustproof and splashproof
performance. The power-saving design is achieved via Bluetooth Low
