Built To Do One Thing Perfectly: Never Miss

Waterproof, Shockproof, Dustproof, Crushproof and Freezeproof. It’s built-in toughness that ensures you’ll never worry about your camera.

Weatherproof Construction

Bad things happen to good cameras. That’s why the Tough TG-6 is fully equipped to handle extreme conditions and keep shooting.

Anti-Fog 

Don’t sweat if temperatures suddenly change. An anti-fogging design prevents condensation from forming inside the lenses so you’ll always be ready to shoot.

Weatherproof ConstructionWeatherproof Construction

Weatherproof Construction

Weather can turn nasty in minutes. A freak downpour quickly soaks everything. Plummeting cold exposes your camera to dangerous temperatures. The Tough TG-6 handles it all. Thanks to a system of seals and double lock construction, water, dust, dirt, snow and cold stay outside where they belong. Embark on your next adventure and be confident your camera is ready for any weather, anytime.

Anti-Fog

It’s happened to practically everyone with a camera. You go from air conditioning to high humidity and suddenly there’s condensation all over the lens. That won’t happen with the Tough TG-6. The lens features hermetically sealed, dual pane protective glass to prevent fogging. Your lens stays clear and ready for action.

A System Built Around A Camera

The Tough TG-6 sits at the center of an expansive accessory system. The Sports Holder lets you shoot while the camera is secured to you. The Float Strap stops your camera from sinking while shooting on the water. The Silicone Jacket keeps the Tough TG-6 from getting scratched and lets you firmly grip the body. That’s just a few of many accessories designed to help you get the best performance from your camera.

Tough Accessories Go Underwater

Take underwater photography to new heights with two optional lenses. The FCON-T02 Fisheye Converter lets you capture sharp, circular shaped images. It also captures more traditional diagonal shaped fisheye images. The FCON-T01 allows you to capture wide-open scenery while maintaining the brightness of the lens - perfect for capturing wide-angle shots. The TCON-TO1 tele converter lens extends the Tough TG-6’s focal length to 1.7x to shoot crisp photos of whales, dolphins or large schools of fish from a distance. All 3 lenses require the CLA-T01 adapter for attachment to the TG-6. They are a small part of a comprehensive system of accessories that raise your level of underwater photography.
