It’s built to endure all the extreme environments you love exploring. You can drop it. Step on it. Go deep underwater or out into a freezing blizzard. It just keeps on shooting awesome stills and video. Packed with pro features, you’ll nail difficult shots — even in low light. Shoot intricately detailed macro photos and unique shots underwater with vivid color. The lightweight, compact Tough TG-6. Engineered to survive the world’s toughest places.

BUILT TO SURVIVE YOUR TOUGHEST ADVENTURES

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.

LENS BARRIER

Add an extra layer of protection to your TG-6 with the optional lens barrier. It keeps the lens surface free of dirt and prevents scratching.
