  • Key Specs
    • Effective Pixels: 12 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • General
    • Product Name: Tough TG-5 12.0-Megapixel Water-Resistant Digital Camera
    • Brand: Olympus
    • Model Number: V104190RU000
    • Color: Red
    • Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: BSI CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Total Pixels: 12 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 4000 x 3000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
    • Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • Optical Zoom: 4x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 1/2 - 1/2000 sec.; Night Scene, A mode: up to 4 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Burst Rate: 20 frames per second
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 12 seconds
    • Shooting Modes: Intelligent Auto (iAUTO), Program Auto (P), Aperture Priority (A), Custom 1, Custom 2, Underwater, Microscope, Scene Mode (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: true
    • Scene Modes: Portrait, e-Portrait, Landscape, Portrait +Landscape, Hand-held Starlight*, Nightscape, Portrait + Nightscape, Children, Sport, Candlelight, Sunset, Fireworks, Beach & Snow, Panorama, Live Composite (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
    • Effective Pixels: 12 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • In-Lens Image Stabilization: false (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic, Fill-in, Manual override, Red-eye reduction, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 460K Dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
    • Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
  • Video
    • HDR Mode: false (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
    • Slow Motion Recording: false
    • HD Movie Mode Focus: Automatic
  • Compatibility
    • Tripod/Monopod Mountable: false (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
    • Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital, Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
    • Remote Compatible: true
  • Features
    • Face Detection: true (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
    • Smile Mode: false (When enabled, this mode works in conjunction with face detection to automatically take a photo when a smile is detected.)
    • Integrated GPS: Yes
    • Records Audio: true
  • Connectivity
    • Output(s): HDMI, USB 2.0
    • PictBridge Enabled: true (PictBridge allows digital cameras, camcorders and other image capture devices to connect and print directly to photo printers and other output devices without using a computer.)

Q: UNDERWATER???? HOW DEEP THIS CAMERA IT CAN GO?

A: This camera can only go 50 feet deep.

Q: What does it mean by "integrated GPS"?

A: The TG-5 has a built-in (integrated) GPS receiver, and when turned on it will log your location in a data file attached to each photo taken. Using the Olympus Image Track smartphone app you can then see where you were when you took a particular photo. The TG-5 can also record the time, altitude (or depth underwater), the temperature (including water temperature), and barometric pressure. If you turn the "Log" switch on when the camera is off, and then press the "Menu" button, the viewscreen will become a digital compass and show a compass card and all the above information. See:

Q: Does the TG-5 have burst mode when taking underwater pictures? It looks like that option is not available for underwater.

A: Burst mode is not available while in Underwater mode. Underwater mode is it's own separate mode.

Q: What is the Max amount of Memory disk can this camera use?

A: I am using 128 GB without a problem

Q: Can u plug an external mic in the phone or have a woreless one?

A: No, this model does not have a microphone connection.

Q: Does this camera have a Macro mode?

A: Yes It is called Microscope Mode, It can focus as close as 1 cm

Q: In terms of 35mm equivalency, how "wide angle" is the lens & what is the zoom range?

A: The Olympus TG-5 features a 4X zoom lens range, starting at 25mm equivalent at the wide end, all the way to 100mm.
