subject: The Latest And Toughest Tg-1 Ihs Digital Camera [print this page] Olympus, renowned for the range of tough and waterproof cameras, introduces world's first rugged camera, the Tough TG-1 iHS Digital Camera. You can now capture high quality digital images with a high-speed F/2.0 lens (widest in the Olympus tough cameras), even in low light and the harsh conditions. TG-1 is the toughest model till date with exceptionally high speed. Click with quick refresh rates and fast start-up. You can now dare to take images in the most rare conditions like underwater. That's really not all. Let's read about the design and vast features of the TG-1.
Though, the tough design of the camera makes it bulkier than the average compacts, it still falls in the compact camera category. However, Olympus has made praiseworthy efforts to keep it light with 230g weight. However, you cannot slip it into your jeans pocket with thickness around 3cm. Unlike most of the rugged cameras, the lens is located in the middle of the camera. This is an advantage against 'finger photography' in the pictures. One more feature that you will like is that it supports conversion adapter, with which you can mount a fisheye converter lens, a waterproof teleconverter or 40.5mm lens filters.
TG-1 has 610K-dot OLED screen, which results in images with bright colours and clear visibility. You do not have to adjust for the right angles in bright light situations. The OLED is coated with a water-resilient coating for protection against fingerprints, scratches and smudges. This coating allows better compositions during rain.
The design includes the mode dial button on the rear, while the top of the camera is occupied by the power button, GPS module, and the shutter release option. The mode dial feature provides easy navigation without accessing the menu to change the shooting mode. You do not have to navigate to the sub menus for setting white balance, exposure compensation and ISO. You will never miss a shot with a super sport mode, while a low light mode is perfect for catching the mood of a romantic candle-light dinner. The camera will sense the scene and select the appropriate settings accordingly on an iAuto mode.
Is there something left? Of course, the video! TG-1 offers 1080 pixels high-definitions full HD video with PCM audio technology. The iHS processor gives high speed and fabulous colours, while the Multi-Motion Image Stabilizer balances the movement during surfing.
The built-in GPS feature will allow to geo-tag your photos, while exploring outdoors. Do remember to turn it off, while not in use as it can end the battery quickly.
